Here is one IM Rep. Foley had with a teenage boy

Representative Mark Foley, prior to his scandal, was one of the foremost opponents of child pornography. Foley had served as chairman of the House Caucus on Missing and Exploited Children. He introduced a bill in 2002 to outlaw web sites featuring sexually suggestive images of preteen children, saying that “these websites are nothing more than a fix for pedophiles.” As it was written, the bill would have prohibited commercial photography of children, and it failed due to the unmanageable burden it would have presented to the legitimate entertainment industry (Wikipedia).

Transcript of Rep. Roley's IM with teenage boy - this is pretty disturbing to read. At page 4-5, I wasn't feeling right.

Sometimes, the hiprocracy in people is amazing, even startling. But that's OK, if you have problems and discrace your legacy and family ... blame it on the sauce.
