I thought the emails were innocent enough. But the reason he resigned was that he had some rather explicit (cybersex) instant messages with a different page in 2003. Looks like Boehner and Hastert are each pointing fingers at each other as to who's to blame for not stopping Foley. Looks like someone has known about Foley's "eccenticities" for almost a year.

You have to read pretty far in for the damning stuff.
Shame on him.
If anyone else knew about Foley and what he was doing, then I would think they'll also be expected to resign. How could they, if they knew there were suspicions about him, put him charge of the house caucus on missing exploited children. What the hell were they thinking. I can just see Pelosi have a field day with this one, sheesh, I can't take that woman.
