I'm surprised Dateline NBC didn't break it first.
Seriously though. This is just plain sick.

Not to sound insensitive but has she said anything to you about this tonight?
Anyone doing this has a problem-look at the Dateline programs that still catch ----idiots after all these years.
And did anyone see what one of this posts this guy held?
Just found this link which has some more info-like this was known about almost a year ago if I read it correctly:

Actually I've been emailing her all day to find out if she knew the boy or had an inkling about Foley. Typical freshman at college, never at the computer or phone when I need her.... She did say that he was gay right away when I asked her if she had met Foley but was completely shocked (and grossed out) when I told her the whole story.
Yes, I saw Foley's committee: disgustingly ironic.. reminds me of when some 3-4 star nominated for Inspector General (oversees all sexual harrassment cases) and was brought up on s.h. charges by a female general.
Thank goodness Foley is gone. His house.gov website is down and after his name in the Members' List, it says the word VACANCY. Back in the early 1980s, there were a couple of Congressmen who were caught having inappropriate relationships with Pages. These may be 16 year olds but they are still kids and are treated as such by the Page Staff which serve in loco parentis.

This situation is just beyond disturbing!! Yuck! And more than one person has brought up Dateline and their specials that they run. What is so sad is Dateline now run those specials every Friday night I believe. And the specials are NOT repeats. These are new people that they are catching. How messed up is it that they can continue to do installments of that special? And for those of us who watch those, we almost shouldn't be shocked that a politician was caught. In more than one of the Dateline specials they have caught people who were teachers, ministers, etc. So very sick!!

That's just wrong. Sick sick sick is definitely correct.

It just never ceases to amaze me how men that work their entire life at achieving a position...make dumb moves like this...and actually think it won't leak to the public.

Just a very minor corection to your posting: Men and Women.

As far as I know there have never been any politicians in Australia that have done that, though I know of plenty Teachers and Lecturers that have gotten into a lot of legal trouble because of similar incidents. One guy my mum taught with about 20 years ago got caught doing stuff with kids that he shouldn't of and he ended up having something done to him in prison.
Still... doing that stuff to kids is just plain unforgiveable....

Isn't it remarkable how selective the memories of politicians can be when it comes to when they allegedly learned of a situation like this one? Specifically Dennis Hastert in this case, but certainly not limited to him or his party.
Washington has some pretty big rugs to sweep things under.
