There simply is no excuse for Foley's behavior and some people around here really need to stop trying to defend him!

Show me the post where there is a defense to Foley's disgusting behavior.

Coupled with the other information reported on this thread, it is clear that ABC is now in cover its ass mode.

Drudge is saying himself he verified the kids age. Not hard when you know someones name, school they went to etc. to find out what year they wer born.

Nobody's blaming the kid - whether he was 16 or 18. But if he was 18, then there's no "underage" factor to Foley's conduct and it's just dirty talk between two guys (I don't know if the kid's gay or not, and don't care), not an adult and a minor.

"There simply is no excuse for Foley's behavior and some people around here really need to stop trying to defend him!"

If you think fellow FReepers such as myself have anything but disgust for Foley, you're mistaken. He's getting what he deserves. What I and others are doing is busting the Dims and MSM for another canned political hit job, directed at the election of Republicans in general. You do see how this is being used, don't you?

Legal age may be 18, but regardless of age, this whole thing is still creepy. Monica was well over 18, too.

I was as confused as you, but then I went back and plowed through the whole thread.

People (internet sleuths) have cleverly found out the ID of Foley's boyfriend. From there they researched, learned his DOB, looked at the dates on the IM's from ABC, and learned he was 18, not younger as originally reported.

So it was a "Sex Chat" between consenting adults.

Still sleazy and filthy, but apparently totally legal.

Are you sure that this IM was exchanged with Jordan? There was more than one page contacted by Foley, wasn't there?

I don't see how they could have done all this investigating, but missed what the IM itself said.

A network source explains exchanges with the young man and disgraced former Congressman Foley took place before and after the 18th birthday.

Instead of "18th", shouldn't it be "18th" with the superscript? We need to get Dan Rather in here to tell us which one of these is right.

Where is this "glitch"? I can't find it, I have only seen a screen cap of the glitch on the Passionate America blog. I hope someone downloads it before it disappears forever.

Exactly. An IM friendship isn't a crime. The sexual aspect didn't start until after he was 18. That also makes it no crime. Weird and creepy? Yes. Crime? No.

Apparently another bombshell is about to burst regarding how long the Dems held on to this info. This might not turn into the scandal they had hoped for. :)

"I have a 'thing' for root beer floats made with A&W root beer and Blue Belle Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream"

Just so long as you don't insist upon licking aforementioned root beer floats off of the bodies of young men you're still a huge moral step up on the Gerry Studds types.

Okay. That would pretty much kill the scoop.
