Editors

Accusations are flying in the wake of the Mark Foley (R-FL) scandal. Foley resigned yesterday after it was revealed that he had been e-mailing and IM'ing underage House pages. Foley's Congressional staff (shown left) are unanimous in defending their boss, saying he's always been kind and attentive.

Now, however, questions have arisen over who was aware of Foley's predilections for young, underage, nubile, slick-with-sweat pages. Those accused of knowing Foley's secret include House Speaker Denny Hastert, Senator Majority Leader Bill Frist and Department of Homeland Security Head, Michael Chertoff.

The details are not pretty.

Recently, various e-mails have surfaced indicating that all three of the above-named leaders had foreknowledge of Foley's penchant for pages.

D-Man! Good to hear from you. We'll move on that piece next week.

How was your Christmas vacation? Do you have any pictures of yourself. Please send one. Have you been working out? You looked really good the last time I saw you, and your friend too. Hot!

Do you wear boxers or briefs?

Your special friend :-)


Earlier, in 2005, Secretary Chertoff was the recipient of a memorandum from Congressman Foley as a follow-up to testimony by Chertof:

Mr. Secretary:

Thank you for your testimony yesterday on the subject of airport security measures in the United States.

As a follow-up to your testimony, my committee feels it necessary to request additional information. Please respond to the following:

1. Please describe in detail the methods of cavity searches permitted by the TSA;
2. Please indicate the length of these searches;
3. Please identify how many of these searches involve young men; and
4. With respect to item 3 above, please provide photos (the good ones, not those grainy things you sent last week).

Kindest regards,

Mark Foley
