"I would drive a few miles for a hot stud like you!!"

[Bluebear]

Something else to consider: how many other underage kids did Foley solicit **OR SUCCEED** in meeting for sex? Did he stalk MySpace, Yahoo chat rooms, AOL? Did the GOP house leadership enable him to meet kids other than pages for sex by covering this up?

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.

1. **OR SUCCEED** in meeting for sex ...

THAT is the question that needs to be answered.

2. Speaking of hot studs.

I conjured you up. AND you're an adult!

3. speaking of MySpace--I saw last week (although only once,

don't have the link) that the murderer at Bailey had specifically targeted those girls from postings at MySpace.

did anyone else see that, and, hopefully, have the link? alas, I think it came out on thursday, and we were just a bit preoccupied.

4. My guess is that

he has succeeded over the years, even well before the Internet. The pages are like shooting fish in a barrel. Young, no parents, impressed by power.

Scum.

5. Americablog on it now too

So now the other shoe drops. Not only did the GOP cover-up of a child predator since at least 2001 lead to the serial sexual harassment of numerous children, but now we find out that Foley tried to arrange what were clearly in-person sex-dates with children. (And from the sounds of the communications below, he may have already consummated one such rendezous.)

I want to hear Denny Hastert and the other members of the Republican leadership say that they had NO IDEA that Foley had a problem with being too close to the pages. I want to hear it. Because they knew.

7. Its not very romantic sexual banter, either

"I would drive a few miles for a sexy stud like you, but only if it was just across town, and it wasn't rush hour, and it wasn't cold or raining, and I had already eaten dinner and picked up my dry cleaning..."
