Page: Foley's past e-mails "Sick." GOP: e-mails "over-friendly"

[usregimechange]

Fall 2005: A 16-year-old former congressional page forwards e-mails he says he received from Foley to another party, who has a House e-mail address.

The e-mails include a request for the teen's picture. In another exchange, Foley purportedly asked the teen what he wanted for his birthday and "what stuff do you like to do?" And in another, the congressman is quoted as making comments about another former page, saying he "acts much older than his age" and "he's in really great shape."

In his forwarding message, the former page comments that he found the request for his picture "sick."

...

Congressman Alexander's chief of staff characterized the e-mail exchange as "over friendly," the Hastert statement continues.

Minimizing child abuse. Is that a family value?

1. If Foley's emails were "overly friendly"...

...then Charles Manson's murdering rampages were "impolite".

2. And Ted Bundy was merely misunderstood
