Upisdownism

The guy who resigned today from Congress for apparently soliciting underage sex from minors was the chairman of the House caucus on Missing and Exploited Children.

Why does it always seem to turn out this way?

Oh yeah, and he voted to impeach Bill Clinton. And had this to say at the time:

"It's vile," said Rep. Mark Foley, R-West Palm Beach. "It's more sad than anything else, to see someone with such potential throw it all down the drain because of a sexual addiction."


I agree, he should donate the $3 million dollars he had stashed for his campaign to anti-child abuse programs. And anyone that tried to take that money instead should be questioned.

The upisdownism makes me mental.

UPDATE: The House leadership apparently knew about Foley's proclivities, to the extent that the Page program on Capitol Hill was WARNED about him. And they were alerted by the page he contacted 11 months ago.

Sickening. It's the Catholic Church all over again. Maybe they'll move Foley to a district where they can hide him.
