Republican Email Porn

Just what the Republicans needed. Just 5 weeks out and this comes out about Foley.

WASHINGTON, Sept 29 (Reuters) - Six-term Republican Rep. Mark Foley of Florida resigned from the U.S. Congress on Friday following reports he sent sexually inappropriate e-mails to underage congressional interns.

Foley, chairman of the House caucus on missing and exploited children, said he would resign immediately after ABC News reported he sent messages to current and former congressional pages with repeated references to sexual organs and acts.

“Today I have delivered a letter to the Speaker of the House informing him of my decision to resign from the U.S. House of Representatives, effective today,” Foley said in a statement.

“I am deeply sorry and I apologize for letting down my family and the people of Florida I have had the privilege to represent.”

Foley’s decision to resign just five weeks before the Nov. 7 congressional election complicated Republican efforts to retain control of the House of Representatives. Democrats must pick up 15 seats to reclaim a House majority.

I can imagine just how many of them would have to resign if the truth be known. It’s not that the Dems are purer… but it seems as if we can’t hold the high road. I don’t want to know who this might impact the Ohio races.
