You nailed it. Gerry Studds should be the immediate response to this Foley matter. But does the GOP leadership, starting with (cough) Ken Mehlman have the guts to go this route? Sadly, I tend to doubt it.
Sadly Gerry Studds a Democrat from Massachusetts, did more than e-mail sex messages to Pages, he actually admitted having a sexual affair with a male page...in 1983, and did not even leave the House until 1996, 13 years after the fact.
