I guess I'm being stupid here, but I thought this whole mess was because the congressman had approached a child who was 16 years old. Now I hear the guy was either 18 or almost 18. I'm having a hard time getting excited over an 18 year old man who can't figure out how to handle unwanted advances from an old man. I thought I read the age of sexual consent was 16. Would some smart person please explain what is going on to me?
It's all about two different young men...the unnamed boy in Louisiana, who was 16 when Foley became "overfriendly" in emails. And this Jordan Edmund who was outed today, and whose salacious Instant Messages with Foley were published by ABC.
Confusing to the casual observer, YES!
Confusing to the Florida voters...probably. And I hope they know now that Foley is gone and they will be voting for a man named Negron.
Political chicanery at its worst!
Not only that, check out #436. The IM there does indeed look like Jordan is coming on to Foley, or at least ratcheting up the interest.
