instant messages

This shows you what the Republican controlled House is really all about:

An Atlanta man told a local television station and newspaper that former U.S. Rep. Mark Foley (news, bio, voting record) sent him sexually suggestive messages after he served as a congressional page 10 years ago.

Tyson Vivyan, 26, of Buckhead told WAGA-TV in a Wednesday interview that Foley began sending him instant messages about a month or two after his nine-month stint as a page ended in June 1997

Vivyan told the station that when he was a congressional page in 1996 and 1997 he barely spoke to Foley. But after he left the program - when he was 17 years old - Vivian says they had contact via e-mail about things he says where inappropriate.

"He somehow got ahold of my online identity on AOL and began sending me sexually illicit ims," Vivyan said in the TV interview.

Vivyan said he became upset when he learned that the messages were from Foley.

I wonder how Foley got this guy's AOL screen name? Sounds almost skalerish if you ask me. Oh but Clinton getting a blow job from an adult was more important.

A day after the scandal breaks of Rep. Mark Foley (R-Fl) sending questionable emails to a 16 year old boy, he turns in his resignation to Congress. This was considered a "safe seat" for the GOP this fall. Considering how quickly Foley resigned, there must be a lot more to this sick tale.

UPDATE:

Cnn just reported that sources have told them his decision was made because he feared more emails might surface. If there are other ones out there, they must be much worse than the ones already posted. Aravosis has a copy of all the emails.

UPDATE 2:

An interesting tidbit. In July of this year, it was Foley who introduced "sweeping" legislation against internet child pornogrpahy. This happens all to much. The people who appear to be trying and protect children, are in fact the ones who may be preying on them.

UPDATE 3:

Wow it does get worse. From ABC:
