He is a slimeball, sick, an idiot. But IF the pages were above the age of consent, and IF they were yanking his chain (in a manner of speaking) is there really a justification to be on a headlong search for some way to prosecute him? I like to see people prosecuted for actual crimes, not the latest news cycle.

Whatever the law says, the law says. If there's a law that applies to former Congressman Foley's disgusting IMs sent to 17 year olds (and yes, there was at least one sexually explicit IM exchange sent before a page turned 18) AFTER all the facts are investigated, then it should be applied. If there's no such law, the former Congressman is a disgrace but not a criminal.

Just because something is legal doesn't necessarily make it right.
