"I was seventeen years old and just returned to [my home state] when Foley began to e-mail me, asking if I had ever seen my page roommates naked and how big their penises were," said the page in the 2002 class."

Since DC the age of consent is 16 this page just happened to point out the fact that he/she returned to their home state when this began? Yea, RIGHT!

They are going to ride this story into Wellstones grave. Only to be buried twice.

Why are the names of consenting **Adults** being withheld?!

Do they have emails from these guys or just hearsay??

No, they are "verbal accounts."

All this proves is that Foley had to go. Which has happened.

I don't think the GOP leadership knew about any of this, so there really isn't a story. Foley was a perv and now he's gone.

The longer the Dems/Media play this, the more obvious it is that it is a coordinated attack. The GOP base isn't stupid, they can see through this and will not allow dirty politics to change this election.

Transcripts are not proof, either. Easily faked.

Well, if ABC news SAYS it it must be true right? They wouldn't lie about something as simple as their ages...wait..Oops!

Well, of course, it's orchestrated. And maybe some of the stuff was a prank on the part of teens who got a thrill from making a Congressman look like a textbook-case pervert. But the thing is, this Congessman WAS a textbook-case pervert, and apparently many leaders in his party knew that and didn't much care about it, just so long as he could win elections.

What's going to happen? To listen to Rush and to read FReeRepublic, it's all going to come back to haunt the Democrats. To read National Review Online, it's going to destroy the Republican majority. I'm inclined to think the latter is more likely.

Looks like ABC is already scrambling to try and save the story.

That's how I feel about this too.

sitting in his boxers and ask what I was wearing

That is an almost verbatim statement made by the first page. It's possible Foley said the same thing to this 'page'...but this looks like someone who's read the other stuff and using it (again) to try to cover ABC's butt.

So ABC is having to drop the big bombs prematurely? This scandal just isn't working out worth a damn for them. These claims would have had a much better impact about three days before the elections.

I want to see the explanation for these boys not turning Foley in when this happened.

Are they all over 18, as well?

The ABC spin will be: "The three are all adults, now."

What will remain unsaid: "They were all adults then, too."

What matters is how the blog "Stop Sexual Preditors" was initiated just to leak this story at this time, and who is behind saving up this info for this purpose? Foley did this, obviously. And thus it appears the Democrats exploited it, when they learned about it, months or even years ago. This is the Gingrich Cell Phone gambit all over again. Democrats are not very original, crude actually.

They are all over 18 now and could release their names if they really wanted to tell the truth because truth can only be obtained through scrutiny in this case.

Hey Nancy Pelosi was NOT kidding when she wanted Hastert's head on a silver platter for NOT protecting the children. So what did Nancy know and when did she know it.

Further does Nancy maintain sex patrols over her liberal gays?

I think Foley is a real low-life for being involved in this.

However, what civil crime has he committed? I don't know enough about these things. (thank God)
