I agree, Foley is a weirdo, and deserves to be punished for whatever wrong doing he did. (Although, what he did was in poor choice, It looks like the former page's were 18 at the time he sent them the disgusting IM's. Unfortunately, that isn't a crime.)
A couple of notes that I find interesting. Nancy Pelosi, who has been very outspoken about this, voted 5 times for Gerry Studds to hold a leadership position after his censure. She also doesn't want former FBI director Louis Freech to investigate the page program, and come up with ways to improve it.

Yes both partys have weirdo's in it, but does that excuse Congressmen Foleys actions or the repuglican cover up of it. That was then and this was now.

These things have a way of balancing out.
Any week now some "vile" Democrat is going to get busted for some impropriety, and the heat will be lessened on the GOP.
such is the way of politics.

People can not seem to let go Clinton's affair with a adult female eight years ago but they expect everyone to forget today's news of a gay pedophile Republican lawmaker whose actions were covered up by his fellow Republican lawmakers!
