[...] A leadership struggle may come to a head. Or worse. Speaking of head, in his own head Dennis Hastert knows, just knows he did nothing wrong. This is all the Democrats fault. Meanwhile three more pages stand up to say Foley was a dick a predator. Defenders of the Party of Dick now &#8216;claim&#8216; the first Foley dicking IM exchange was a prank gone bad, so let&#8217;s stop talking about dick and get back to the issues the Republicans think they can win on. Democrats simply must let go of this one sleazey issue so Republicans can get back on the high road of attacking their opponents&#8217; patriotism. We are all so dicked. [...]

It makes sense to me. What’s the difference if it was a prank or not – Foley thought it was real and he HAD to resign.

Was this kid 18 at the time? Or was Foley led to believe he was 18? I’ve been hearing bits and pieces and haven’t put it together yet. If he was, then this aspect of the scandal is all a moot point. The left is going after him as a child predator (like they ‘always’ go hard after child predators!) and in this instance, he may not have been.

Yes indeed, it isn’t adding up to make much sense. Too many missing pieces still.

Foley might have been part of the prank if there was a prank. We have to hear more to make any where near an accurate call.
