For a couple of hours Friday night, it was as if former U.S. Rep. Mark Foley had never gotten himself into a heap of trouble.

The place: Palm Beach's Mar-a-Lago. That's where Foley once found plenty of political support, never mind that the district he represented is a few miles north.

Once the consummate politician with a knack for befriending millionaires, citizen Realtor Foley fell into society's open arms.

"He's the best congressman we've ever had," said John Sullivan, husband of gala organizer Dorothy Sullivan.

With chairs on both sides of Foley unoccupied, friends took turns sitting and chatting with him for a few minutes.

Because they all do it? I'm at the point of thinking that the rich elite are so into "using" people that this is nothing to them.

We've got Rush Limbaugh taking his Viagra to the D.R. and the human sex slave trade in the world being a focus of Amnesty International.

These are some empty souled people.

He resigned and went to rehab.. He prayed about it & got counselng..

That's all that's required... ask any republican..

Once they "go away" for a while, they are miraculously "cleansed" of all wrongdoing, and are welcomed back with open arms..
