(sp?) incident in 1969. <br><br>hope that helps...ltcpmaxFri, 13 Oct 2006 09:51:20 -0000http://msunderestimated.com/2006/09/29/rep-mark-foley-r-fl-resigns-over-ims-with-teen-page-video/#comment-1580734I agree... what a bullshit response... the mileage on the Ted Kennedy thing is way over. This is, basically, one more regretable and no doubt avoidable sex scandal in washington. This thing would not have even made the first section of the news if it wasnt:<br><br>about a teen aged page<br>about a MALE senator and MALE page<br>about 4 weeks before elections.<br><br>It is a miserable error in judgement, compounded by stupid gestures and efforts to minimize it and/or overblow it (pick your side of the aisle)...<br><br>HOWEVER... it is NOT where our attention should be focused (much less compared to something with facts long obscured that happened in 1969.) <br><br>The North Koreans have nukes (probably). The IRanians are working hard on theirs as well. Terrorists are still trying to strike again in the US of A. Our troops are deployed overseas and Congress seems to be forgetting who sent them, that they continue to need support during and afterwards, regardless of how well it fits into your damn district budget and interests. Maybe I am delirious, but I SWEAR I heard President Bush tell the country that this was going to take years, cost lives, and be a slow process. No one promised a resolution to the worlds problems in 16 months or whatever. The immigration problem continues. And we are focused on pornographic instant messages? He resigned (on a letter that was typed for him by Rep Reynolds office!). he is seeking therapy/cover/rehabilitation. Both are probably reviewing book and movie offers (thanks Holllywood!)<br><br>ATTENTION CONGRESS AND SENATORS: REGAIN YOUR FOCUS ON THE BIG PICTURE, PLEASE!ltcpmaxFri, 13 Oct 2006 09:49:04 -0000
