The random political thoughts thread (Part Deux)

Also, there's the delicious irony of his co-chairmanship of the exploited childrens' caucus. It's the salaciousness of it that is fueling the story, and I think if he were on the fishing license caucus sending messages to girls about their bra-cup size, this would be accepted as the usual Congressman philandering.

But, hey, I'm all for this blowing up in the Republican Party's collective face just before Election Day, and hopefully being the 88th monkey of criminal scandal this season that will tip the voting scales against them.

To me, yes, it's simply a political issue ... and I really don't have much concern for those 16 and 17 year-old boys who - oh, the horrors - had to deal with emails about their dick size. While it was absolutely wrong and innappropriate, I don't think any children were actually harmed.

I'm hoping Foley's antics bring a zillion times more harm to his party than they ever did to ex-pageboys.
