Representative Mark Foley (R-FL) has resigned over allegations of sexual misconduct via e-mail and text messaging with several underage male congressional pages. "The improper communications between Congressman Mark Foley and former House Congressional pages is unacceptable and abhorrent. It is an obscene breach of trust," Hastert, R-Ill., Majority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, and Majority Whip Roy Blunt, R-Mo., said in a written statement Saturday evening. "His immediate resignation must now be followed by the full weight of the criminal justice system." Foley is best known, ironically enough, for being on the Missing and Exploited Children’s Caucus. It now appears that his whole purpose for being on the commission was to get tips on how best to pick up on young boys. Foley, when asked how he thought this incident would affect other Republicans in the up-coming November elections, replied, “Why the hell should I care? I only went Republican because the Democrat’s quota for creepy, middle-aged, child-molesting homos was already filled by Barney Frank.”
