If the whole this really is a "prank gone awry", this is unbelievabley horrible! But that's a big IF.

Too weird!

If this does turn into a "page prank gone awry" thing, I think a WHOOOLLLLE LOT of people need to be bitch-slapped...

This is silly. If it was a prank, then why would Foley resign? Why would he himself accept responsibility for the e-mails and IM's? Why would he come out of the closet publicly?

Danged right on that one.

Even so, this would be an extreme long-shot.

Yea I agree. Foley also entered into a rehab. Why would he do that if it was all false??

Speaking as a former Washington intern (although not a page) it is extremely unlikely that any "prank" like this could happen. Granted, I worked for the Democrats. Maybe the Republicans IM underage boys and ask if they are horny for a funny ha ha, but I think the closest thing to a prank we ever had in our office was we sent Hillary Clinton's interns running after photocopies of a pointless letter. That, or when my boss brought a Nixon mask to work.

Political offices are still offices. There is a level of professionalism that must be maintained.

Yeah, there is NOTHING screwy, like blow-jobs, taking place in ANY of these offices!

hahahahaha.. u know that's why people liked clinton.. i think it was good to see a president act human.

In fact i can not for the life of me see how that could have been considered important enough to initiate impeachment hearings while bush gets away with starting a bunch of unending conflicts. Seriously like WOW.

Anyhow yeah politicians are just regular people who have to hide their human failings and denounce anyone else who slips up and shows his errors.

Actually, I think a lot of people like that about him because "he got away with it."

But again, it wasn't the blow-job that got him impeached. It was lying about it, under oath - in addition to obstructing justice during the investigation.

If he would have just said, "Yeah, I screwed her good and she blew me good." there wouldn't have been much else anybody could have done.
