Talk of gay staffers that covered up for Mark Foley. There are lots of gay staffers on the Hill. My guess is 10% of staffers are gay. A gay mafia protected Foley or so the talk goes. Foley never got physical with any intern rs. So his lawyer claims. Thus I don't see this as such a big deal especially with Drudge reporting the intern was 17 and 18 years old when he exchanged IMs and emails with Foley. At 17 you have to handle yourself in this world. You have to learn how to deal with Mark Foley who is far away on another computer. Not in the same room forcing sex on you.

Time for the homosexual staffers to not be hired.

Seems if you have a homsoexual on staff, when they leave they will turn on you.

Any news on the email circulating on the Hill?

Not a big deal? No matter what such behavior with interns is NOT acceptable. Would people think it not a big deal if it was a 17 year old female? Not to mention that with his careless actions he compromised votes for his party. And you are wrong about a 17 year old kid knowing how to handle himself particularly when he is just starting to learn how to take care of himself. No matter what his age he is still a kid who would be intimidated by someone like Foley and the powerful position he holds.
