His chat avatar was dressed so provocatively .....
And Granite, there's now WAY Hastert could have investigated creepy emails from a gay 50-year-old man to a 16-year-old boy, why, he might have offended the homosexual lobby! We might have lost the gay vote in the upcoming election!!!
please note the above is all sarcasm
What bugs me is that everyone thinks we wanted Hastert (or someone) to send in Special Ops into his home and office or something with the media there filming like it was Capone's vault. I wanted someone to contact some people associated with this issue and speak privately with them-- just to do some due diligence investigation. I want to know what questions were asked. My guess is that none were-- to anyone.
Oh, I never said that the, then, 16-year-old was being provocative. Maybe he was, it doesn't matter with respect to Foley. His, now, 19-year-old behavior is relevant, however, with respect to shopping IMs.
And we've seen claims that the IM recipient was 16, but was he 16 at the time of the IM conversations? We just don't know.
