All Politicians are Gross

Until recently, Mark Foley’s page on the House of Representatives' website included a picture of him with a house page next to an article on the page program and becoming a page. The only evidence of this that still exists is this grainy thumbnail.

Has it occurred to anyone that the reason congressional leadership wasn’t more proactive when hearing about Mr. Foley’s penchant for chicken has more to do with not having the resources to chase every politician’s skeletons than wanting to hang on to that republican seat? My guess is there are at least 534 people running around Washington, DC trying to figure out how to completely erase their email, text, and IM history. If congress tried to police all of their own scandals, sexual or not, gay or straight, the wheels of the government would come to a screeching halt.
