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.
