The way I see it is that Foley is still a turd. He, apparently, did not know he was being pranked, so he still wrote all that gay stuff in the IMs.
Same story...just a different motive on the young guys' parts. Foley's still a scumbag, and still should have resigned.
As for the rest, nobody else should be taking a fall for this. The young guys are creeps for baiting Foley, but he's still a pervert.
and so what do you think about the Dems that used this bait to paint the entire GOP as Pedophile protectors.... hmmm that is the real story here.. Tried to steal an election and supress Conservative base turnout by claiming that the GOP Leadership is protecting Pedophiles....
