Since when do Republican's ignore the law?
The LA Times fails to surprise with this:
The current and former congressional staffers interviewed by The Times, who are from both parties, said it was well known within the Capitol's gay community that Foley was interested in young men.
"Among the gay political community, there was a pretty wide understanding that he had an eye for the interns and the younger staff," said one former congressional staffer.
The staffers said Foley — who was elected to the House in 1994 and is not openly gay — would seek out the young men in bars, restaurants and even around the Capitol.
Now you are deliberately twisting words. You know darn well that that post wasn't saying that it was OK for him to break the law for only a few weeks. The post was obviously pointing to the fact that the sexual messages, which were made quite a few months into the year, occured AFTER HIS BIRTHDAY which was only a few weeks into the year!
That does it. It is pointless talking to you anymore. You have been told, time and again, that the messages that could possibly make this illegal, were sent AFTER his birthday. There are timestamps on the freaking IMs. If screen caps and timestamps don't do it for you, then nothing will. You can continue your game with others who will fall for it.
