Ex-Rep. Mark Foley Should Be Ashamed of Himself

Tuesday October 3, 2006
Now we have to protect our children from those who are supposed to be protecting us all? According to an article in ABC.com, 'his public persona, former Rep. Mark Foley was best known as a champion protector of children. As chairman of the Missing and Exploited Children's Caucus, he was the direct sponsor of at least 15 different bills aimed at protecting young people from harm.' So, what happened? I'm outraged and completely stunned. What are your thoughts?
