You have GOT to be kidding me. First of all, the kid WAS 16. Second of all, now that we know Foley IS a sexual predator, the wording of the emails, which the kid described as "sick", was not just "unwise", it was clearly Foley trying to groom yet another young sex partner.
I cannot believe you people are trying to brush this aside.
The Louisiana boy from Rep. Alexander's district would have been 16 or over when appointed. It seems he may have completed his service and left when he got the "unwise" emails. You and I agree that Foley seems to have been looking for a score with a young man. We both agree he should be gone from the Congress. But, I hope you also agree that he is being removed at this particular time by a political dirty trick. We cannot brush that aside either.
Been away a while. Have the emails sent to the 16 year old been made public? If so can you tell me exactly what was contained in them? The last i heard was the family refused to release the details when asked and just wanted the contact to stop and their privacy maintained.
