ABC: Foley resigns, ABC has graphic AOL chats

The Blotter: "Saying he was 'deeply sorry,' Congressman Mark Foley (R-FL) resigned from Congress today, hours after ABC News questioned him about sexually explicit internet messages with current and former congressional pages under the age of 18.

A spokesman for Foley, the chairman of the House Caucus on Missing and Exploited Children, said the congressman submitted his resignation in a letter late this afternoon to Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert."

Rightfully so. But what would have happened in a world where homosexuality wasn't demonized by the Republican party?
