Is it possible that the U.S. Congress has no porn filters for their computers?
If so, they're the only major business or school that does NOT. Of course, given the incredible stories of the decrepit computer systems at the FBI and other law enforcement agencies following the 9/11 attacks, maybe we shouldn't be surprised.
What WOULD be surprising is if Foley (and others) had never visited any of many porn sites on the Internet from their Congressional offices, on their Congressional computers. Someone tell me, please, that we DO have SOME kind of computer security within our Congress that AT LEAST records websites being visited, even if none are blocked or considered "forbidden."
Then PLEASE tell me that records of such Internet activity are being investigated by the FBI. PLEASE!!!

I like this Foley...
he's a multitasker.

Help yourselves. Disseminate widely. Pay it forward. Enough is enough. Time to wrest the nation back out of the spooge-slimed hands of these perverts and torturing traitors.

On the one hand, you would think he would be paying attention to the debate.
On the other hand...uh...maybe you don't want the other hand.

Foley and Pedophilia
Once a pedophile always a pedophile.
What is it with Catholic men/priests and pedophilia.
-
Old joke... has to be said
>>On the one hand, you would think he would be paying attention to the debate.
He didn't have to pay much attention to the debate because he's a Master debater... (with a towel, a matress, etc.)
-
this is better than Valley of the Dolls!
and just wait until the horny teenager starts making the rounds on the cable yak-fests!
-
Not only that, but he's a bad speller
Foley doesn't seem to know the difference between "your" and "you're."
-
OH. MY. GOD.
I thought this story couldn't get any more vile and disgusting. I was wrong.
I'm also sick of hearing from people saying, "What does this have to do with politics? We should be focusing on the issues." Um, buttercup, what do you think would be happening if this were a Democrat--or Bill Clinton, god forbid--caught in this sort of thing? The GOP and their right-wing lap dogs in the media would be SHREDDING the Democrats as amoral and unfit to hold public office.
Think goose and gander. It's payback time, Republican beeyotches.

Computer filters
-- RichEmery
You don't understand - Foley _had_ to visit all those distasteful sites to do research for the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006 and Internet Stopping Adults Facilitating the Exploitation of Today’s Youth (SAFETY) Act.

Another good question...
Exactly how does alcoholism explain or excuse such behavior while on the floor of the U.S. House? Foley reportedly entered rehab after admitting (or at least CLAIMING) that demon rum made him "do it." Does that mean he was so sauced while debating and voting in 2003 that he just couldn't avoid engaging in a little online sex at the same time?
Gee, wouldn't you think someone would have NOTICED such a drunken lout on the floor?

Blogactive is Retarded
Um, the pic that Blogactive has doesn't suggest that Foley's online and trolling for pages. It suggests that Foley's computer is on. Probably because the FBI is looking at it.
-
So is he really in rehab then?
Shouldn't he be detoxing from ETOH now? What detox is he in where they let him IM?
Something fishy is going on here, I mean on top of all the unbelievably skeezy things that have already happened.
-
Here's a question...
During this entire fiasco, I haven't heard a single GOP official, strategist, or even blogger suggest that Foley's account/screen-name could have been forged. Now, AOL keeps pretty good records and has demonstrated it's total willingness to provide those records to our government, but you'd think someone, given all of the various defenses levied, would've thrown that out there.
I can only think of two plausible explanations: (1) it just never occured to them (our Congressmen, after all, include people who get their "internets" through "tubes"), or (2) they already know for a fact the messages are legitimate, so they won't even bother to go that route.

He typ gud
Well for using ONE hand at any rate.
BTW, do us all a favor and burn his keyboard.

Foley = Computer Nub
Every moron in the world knows that chat records are saved or can be saved. Either Foley represents our moms and dads who are clueless ( as described by one of his own pages! ) or Foley was so horny and crazy he didn't care.
Good Lord: Did you see Foley's kid-style 733+ speak? I was rolling. And I loved the screen name: MAF54 - kinda narrows it down, huh?
Anyway, goobye, Foley, Hastert, Bush, and all you other war-and-boy pervs. If this doesn't drive them into the ground for a few years, they are truly invincible. Oh wait, Iraq never did, so yes, they are.
-
Never mind Foley,
Let's get those jerk-offs out of the White House.
-
When did the age-of-consent become 18?
-
I thought any talk of war
always got Republicans hot and bothered. Maybe it was all the talk about war - rather than the alcohol - which was to blame for Foley's actions.

Relativity
Compared to the screwing the reichwing majority gives to the poor, the middle class, the environment, and the Constitution, online sex may be the best thing on their record for the past several years. Good ol' fashioned perversion beats our foreign policy by a fur piece.

How Much You Wanna Bet...
....this is all forgotten just as soon as the next 'terror threat' (or, God forbid, attack) saturates the news? How long will we have to wait to have our memories wiped clean again? Months? Weeks?
I mean, let me ask you this: is 'Enron' still a hot topic? When did THAT all happen...20 years ago?
