Getting played
Anyway, I'm amused about how the story is being told. Interestingly, most of the articles that I read about it in the American press downplays the homosexual angle. Some even eliminates it completely, like People online. I guess they didn't want to depress their regular subscribers, those like me seeking frivolous and light entertainment news. (In case you wanted to know: Kelly from 90210 has had her third child! Isaac Hanson of MMMBop fame marries!)
I first read the story about Mark Foley, who was also the co-chair of the caucus on missing and exploited children, in the Guardian (click here for the link). Their headline?
Republican resigns over 'sick' email
to 16-year-old boy
(Oh, by the way, the Guardian is a left wing paper. Can you tell? I bet when they saw this, reporters for the Guardian were shitting themselves with joy and cackling with glee over the irony.)

I heard that the fact he was gay was an open secret in Washington. So it wasn't that big of a shock. The gay part, I mean, not the propositioning 16 year olds thing. Although maybe that part wasn't a shock either. Alot of people are saying that the Republican high ups know about the email and did nothing.
