Foley's "Tribute to Congressional Pages"

Oh, C-SPAN, you are a beautiful thing.

In light of recent events, this is an extraordinary piece of video (Real Player) from June of Rep. Foley speaking in the House in June 2006, giving what C-SPAN calls a "Tribute to Congressional Pages."

It's abominable that this could be allowed to go on. He tells stories about the "high bidder" for a "lunch with Mark Foley," and how he drove the boy to a steakhouse in his BMW.

He just seems to view himself as part of the kids - and THAT is completely horrible He is an adult and betrayed these children and their parents by not maintaining the line.
