E-mails Show Foley Sought to Rendezvous with Page

[deminks]

http://blogs.abcnews.com/theblotter/2006/10/emails_show_fol.html

In addition to explicit sexual language, former Congressman Mark Foley's Internet messages also include repeated efforts to get the underage recipient to rendezvous with him at night.

"I would drive a few miles for a hot stud like you," Foley said in one message obtained by ABC News

The FBI says it has opened a "preliminary investigation" of Foley's e-mails. Federal law enforcement officials say attempts by Foley to meet in person could constitute the necessary evidence for a federal charge of "soliciting for sex" with a minor on the Internet.


In another message, Foley, using the screen name Maf54, appears to describe having been together with the teen in San Diego.

Maf54: I miss you lots since san diego.
Teen: ya I cant wait til dc
Maf54: :)
Teen: did you pick a night for dinner
Maf54: not yet…but likely Friday
Teen: ok…ill plan for Friday then
Maf54: that will be fun

1. here we go!

k&r

[Beetwasher]

2. Yup, Here Come The LIAISONS

Knew it was coming.

[BOSSHOG]

4. but newt gingrich said it didn't involve sex!!

[yellowcanine]

16. Well Newt has a rather specific definition of "sex". Doesn't include BJs,

for example. I suspect to Newt if it ain't one man and one woman in the missionary position (man on top) with simultaneous orgasms while the penis is fully inserted into the vagina, it ain't sex.

[KitSileya]

25. "Simultaneous orgasms"

I doubt Newt cares that much about his partner's pleasure, the definition should be 'one man and one woman in the missionary position until the man gets orgasm while the penis is fully insterted into the vagina."

[Thoreau-Ly]

37. The Guy's Hair is So Bad

I wouldn't touch him with a ten-foot pole. If I were gay, that is.

The GOP should stop pretending and just walk around in togas with those shit-eating grins of theirs.

[MADem]

28. EXCEPT when it involves the CLENIS!! Then, even if it's a

medically sanctioned short arm exam by a kindly old urologist, it's still S-E-X!!!

[TankLV]

40. and ALL the repukes are saying "He's such a nice man!"

fuck the victum - let's all remark on "what a shame" it is for the poor REPUKE PERVERT who committed these CRIMES!

Unfuckingbelievable!

Next up

"this is just ONE MAN - not the WHOLE PARTY"

"I'm sure the (repukes) will investigate this thoroughly"

The spin is nauseating at best...

[barb162]

54. They were going to play Monopoly

dontcha know?
:eyes:

[Pachamama]

12. My bet is that it went beyond just IM's and Emails....

:popcorn:

And that the GOP knew.... :eyes:

[yellowcanine]

18. Yep. Foley didn't just talk the talk. He walked the walk also, so to

speak.

[Hav]

3. .

Wow, how many other IMs didn't they publish?
"I miss you lots since san diego"? Are they lovers or what...

[janx]

7. Sounds like it--

unless Foley is trying to make it seem that way to the teen in order to lure him into believing it.

[kurth]

5. Paging Chris Hansen. Paging Dateline NBC

[Chiyo-chichi]

44. Exactly what I was thinking.

Those guys got arrested. How is this different?

[Stephanie]

what's the date of this? what's Foley's public schedule?

what day was in in SD? this is it - he met these boys - he's going to jail

[KelleyKramer]

6. Well, there goes the GOP talking points

'It was just naughty emails'

He was just 'overly friendly'

This is gunna get ugly.. in a disgusting kind of way.

The top Republicans that knew about this and did nothing should be thrown in jail!

[Thoreau-Ly]

38. Ahp, Not Quite.

But, but, but...CLINTON!

[NashVegas]

8. Does It State Anywhere The Age of the Teen In That Chat?

And was that teen bound within age of consent laws?

[originalpckelly]

9. The age of consent in Louisiana is 17 not 16.

The plot thickens.

[Stand and Fight]

41. Even MORE importantly...

The age of consent in California is 18 across the board... Foley and his enablers should be toast.

[marshall]

48. Details not out yet

The less "lurid" emails that have been known for some time were with the 16 year old Louisiana boy. Not news yet on the age of the recipient of the disgusting IM's, or what state he is from.

[Spazito]

10. Wow, the "IM floodgates" are open now....

Given that Maf54 (foley) has been actively stalking underage pages since he was first elected, I suspect there are many, many logged IMs that will find their way to the media.

Now there is evidence through the above IM that foley actually met with at least one of the pages, I suspect there will be other meetings with other pages as well.

Every pathetic excuse the repubs have used so far have been shot out of the water by this, imo.

[hippiechick]

24. That's what the GOP gets for bugging the Net & logging chats...

:rofl: Payback's gonna be a biotch, eh ??

[Spazito]

26. LOL, well, it looks like their ability to catch bad guys via the net

is equal only to their ability to catch bin Laden!

[wordpix2]

45. hahaha, "blowback," for Grand Oil Party illegal spying on email & phone

calls. Hmmm, wonder what the phone records show?

[Nimrod2005]

11. It is difficult to fuck over the Internets....I have tried.

[yellowcanine]

20. Depends on what you mean by "fuck over". Certainly the internets can

be used to "fuck over" people, for example.

[Nimrod2005]

27. Lol...OK. I was talking about the porn star I was chatting with that day

:party:

[MADem]

29. Find those tubes problematic, eh???

Perhaps the GOP Senator from Alaska can help sort them out for you!

[yellowcanine]

32. The tubes are too long and too tangled for internet intercourse.

[K8-EEE]

13. GREAT Freeper Thread On This

They are cracking the hell out of me, trying to spin this stuff a la GOP!!

>>>Guys like this can't control themselves. If queers had any self control they would not let other men put their thingy up their backside much less then next put it in their mouth after that.>>>

Do people who use the term "thingy" really need to be so damn graphic?

=============================

I find his conduct disgusting but where is the "solicitation of sex"?

=============================
I agree....Too convenient...

Why is the kid responding to him. I'd have my kid off the web so quick, it would make his head spin.

My brother has been warning and warning his 16 year old son about going to porn sites "out of curiousity".
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I think having "congressional pages" is an exceedingly bad idea. Let them (congress critters) get their own damned coffee and make their own damned phone calls. They already have their DC staff and district staff and government agencies to do their bidding - dispense with the whole page program. Maybe it's throwing the "baby out with the bathwater" but something tells me that the whole idea is an antiquated one.

Obviously it would be better if the congresscritters could be trusted around teenagers but obviously they can't.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

from ABC.

Now, this is the network controlled by the Right Wing, according to Clinton.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I've been wondering about ABC also. They keep publishing news on this.

[LoZoccolo]

15. "I've been wondering about ABC also. They keep publishing news on this."

Yeah, who told them they could publish news?! :wtf:

[K8-EEE]

17. It's all their fault!!

RW deflecto-rama includes the following excuses

1) Clinton for "bringing down standards" or whatever
2) Gays in general and tolerance of them
3) The Democrats for "capitalizing" on it cuz the GOP would NEVER NEVER do that (see #1)
4) The "MSM" for even discussing such things

[K8-EEE]

19. FR: "these reporters disgust me"

Oh I see the REPORTERS disgust them.

These reporters disgust me. They are after Hastert now, not Foley and are using deception and pure lies to get him

[MADem]

30. This one, especially is a scream: think having "congressional pages" is

an exceedingly bad idea......

:rofl: Gee, why, then, does the Gang Of Perverts (GOP) get

48

of the 72 pages in each class? What, they want the pick of the "prime cuts" for themselves?

[mcg]

14. Were taxpayer dollars used to enable Foley? nt

[ComerPerro]

21. How come, when people are caught saying this to a cop

they go to prison and are branded as sex offenders, but when a Republican Congressman does this to an actual child, and has intentions on following through, nothing happens?


Oh yeah, my bad. Republican. I forgot...

[yodermon]

22. YOU SNIPPED THE BEST (worst?) PART!!

Maf54: I want to see you
Teen: Like I said not til feb…then we will go to dinner
Maf54: and then what happens
Teen: we eat…we drink…who knows…hang out…late into the night
Maf54: and
Teen: I dunno
Maf54: dunno what
Teen: hmmm I have the feeling that you are fishing here…im not sure what I would be comfortable with…well see

[ronnykmarshall]

23. When will the pugs blame the boys?

You KNOW they were all paid for by the "Klintoons" to seduce this fine christian (Republican) man!

I can't wait for Betty Bowers to get a hold of this.

[MADem]

31. I actually have already seen some "blame the victim"

going on...I guess they'll have to add butts to nuts and sluts????

[TornadoTN]

34. Already happening

I've heard it said twice today, once from Rush Limbaugh (the definitive source on morals of course) and once from some talking head (I don't recall who).

They both played this off as a smear by the Democratic Party going into the election, that the parents are probably in on it and were in with people that would make this help Democrats. In addition, it was suggested by some callers on CSPAN that the "boys could have said no". Odd, considering that no matter which way you cut it, it is still illegal and repugnant on any level.

[filer]

49. Yes. Bring on Betty!

Pastor Deacon Fred may have a few words on the subject, as well.

[lebkuchen]

33. Did Foley ever pick up boys off the streets?

There are lots of run-away boys in America living off the streets from the $ earned by prostituting themselves to pedophiles. I hope the FBI will do a thorough investigation of the street action Foley was likely to have been involved in. He didn't just talk about it.

[Auggie]

35. This guy is toast!

[EFerrari]

36. Welcome to DU, Winebrat.

:hi:

[Auggie]

53. Thanks, sfexpat2000

It's fun to be here.

[AngryAmish]

39. "I would drive a few miles for a hot stud like you,"

Dirty old man.

[dogday]

42. Reminds me of: " I would drive ten miles for one of your smiles"

just saying :shrug:

[AngryAmish]

46. One of my smiles...

I'm blushing!

[Stand and Fight]

43. The Age of Consent in California is 18...

No lying his way out of this. That's for sure.

[civildisoBDence]

47. Over heard in Congressional lounge: "Hey Foley, what page are you on?"

Looks like Rep. Foley has turned his last page.

Newsprism

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

51. "Honey, I have 10 more pages to plow through"

Dennie Hastert calling his wife to say he'll be late to dinner.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

50. Dinner with a Congressman is probably more than these pages

could ever hope for when they go to Washington. Although they contain no overt sexual language, these messages are the worst I've seen, because they clearly show Foley using his power and office to push for a very inappropriate relationship with these young people.

[D23MIURG23]

52. Once again the GOP shows itself to be the party of irony.

Or blatant hypocrisy whichever sounds better to you. I wonder how many "values voters" will manage to convince themselves that this is all a liberal conspiracy and vote republican anyway?

[meuniermr]

55. Foley and Scientology: disgraced congressman linked to CoS?

There's this, from CNN.com:
"An attorney for Foley, a Florida Republican, confirmed Monday that the former congressman is in an alcoholism treatment center. The fax was apparently sent from Clearwater, Florida, but Roth would not say if that's where Foley is being treated."
So, apparently Foley has gone to a detox center in Clearwater, Fl. What's in Clearwater? Scientologists! So, I followed my intuition and did a little Googling, thinking perhaps Foley is drying out with the Sea Org there. This is what I uncovered:
"FLORIDA CONGRESSMAN ACCEPTS SCIENTOLOGY AWARD
On May 24, 2003, the "Clearwater Business Association" hosted a brunch in the Fort Harrison’s Ballroom, for Florida Congressman Mark Foley (R).
Also present at this event was "Republican State committee woman" Nancy Riley. Foley is featured on a Scientology web page promoting their anti-psychiatry front group C.C.H.R. ("Citizen's Comission on Human Rights"). The "Clearwater Business Association" (C.B.A.) appears to be primarily a way to bring politicians into the Scientology fold, by way of Scientologist Brett Miller (second from left in photo below). The primary affiliations of the C.BA.appear to be Scientology, W.I.S.E., and C.C.H.R., and not local businesses."
www.fso.org/en_US/news-events/pg005.html
web.tampabay.rr.com/sp/FLA.html (scroll down)

""...Mary Story from the Church of Scientology and Brett Miller from the Clearwater Businessman's Association present leatherbound copies of Dianetics and The Way to Happiness to Republican State Committee woman Nancy Riley and Congressman Mark Foley..."
WTF. Hold me, I'm scared.

[kenfrequed]

56. Sex, lies and documents

This has to be played with a top twenty list of scandals that the GOP is involved in.
