"I don't see anything "sick" in the Congressman's words. Unless the boy has inappropriate actions to report, it seems he's overwrought over nothing."
From what I read, there are IMs in addition to the e-mails. In one of the IMs he supposedly asked the kid if what he was writing was "making you horny." If true -- pretty inappropriate.
If there's nothing there, if it was just "friendly" communications, it's odd that Foley resigned so quickly? I wonder if the local GOP commitee knows of other incidents out there & decided to PUSH him out before worse things surfaced.
I agree entirely. In my earlier posts, I was commenting only on the quotes I had seen at that time. The words themselves were perfectly neutral. In the context of the exchange, they were questionable, but not "sick, sick, sick."
