Mark Foley Needs A Good Ass-Kicking

How would you feel if you sent your 16-year-old son off to work as a page in the offices of Congress, and subsequently he began receiving emails like these from one of the Congressmen:

"glad your home safe and sound...we dont go back into session until Sept 5....its a nice long break...I am back in Florida now...its nice here..been raining today...It sounds like you will have some fun over the next few weeks...how old are you now?..."

"I am in North Carolina...and it was 100 in New Orleans...wow that's really hot...well do you miss DC...Its raining here but 68 degrees so who can argue...did you have fun at your conference...what do you want for your birthday coming up...what stuff do you like to do"

"I just emailed will...hes such a nice guy...acts much older than his age...and hes in really great shape...I am just finished riding my bike on a 25 mile journey now heading to the gym...whats school like for you this year?"

"how are you weathering the hurricane...are you safe...send me an email pic of you as well..."

Would you believe those emails were purely innocent, or would you want to kick a certain Congressman's ass from here to China? I think Republican Congressman Mark Foley has some explaining to do. On second thought, I don't much have the stomach for more Republican liars, so maybe he ought to keep his trap shut.
