Foley thought the kid was into him.
He didn't realize he was the 'BUTT' of the joke.

That is really sad.
Reminds me of the ending of that movie Trains, Boats, Planes (or something like that starring John Candy).
More .... Per Drudge:
"According to one Oklahoma source who knows the former page very well, Edmund, a conservative Republican, goaded Foley to type embarrassing comments that were then shared with a small group of young Hill politicos. The prank went awry when the saved IM sessions got into the hands of political operatives favorable to Democrats. This source, an ally of Edmund, also adamantly proclaims that the former page is not a homosexual. The prank scenario was confirmed by a second associate of Edmund."
The news come on the heels that former FBI Chief Louis Freeh has been named to investigate the mess.
