Foley

The latest on Mark Foley. Gay Republican staff disapproved of their middle aged congressman’s attempts to make contact with adolescent pages and tried to put a stop to it. We may never know who let Foley off the hook and/or whether Denny Hastert turned a blind eye to his colleague or was simply blind.

Once we get past the hetero-homo side of sexuality perhaps we can all agree that whatever the sexual orientation, the rich, old, and powerful should not prey upon the young.

Now, if we could just do something to protect the millions of young people coerced to work in the sex trade.
