Close that door

Another shocking revelation. Mark Foley is gay. Big whoop.
Look, I may have been gleeful at the thought of the GOP getting smacked down for this, but from what I have sussed out of the prattle, the guy really didn't do anything wrong. Maybe a bit unethical (the pages technically being under 18 and by loose parameters they were working for him), but not illegal.
And don't try to tell me that the 16 and 17 year-olds who were IMing didn't know what was up. ANY teenager could have figured this out. And any teenager not willing to snicker up their sleeve and play along could just disconnect the damn IM.
The perfect irony here is that if the man is convicted of anything, it will be breaking the law he championed in Congress.
