I sent a letter to Joe Scarborough because last night I watched a preview of "NBC's Internet Preditors III" special and thought Joe would understand the seriousness of this topic. I am so repulsed I could vomit. I doubt I could sleep well tonight knowing what I read at AmericaBlog. So here goes nothing...
"this is the raunchiest thing I ever read on a congressman Joe. Now, I know you are a republican but this takes the cake on all thing sexual predator wise. I recently caught your shows exclusive on NBC's investigative reports 'part III Internet sexual predators' and I have to say this one out does them all. A champion of sexual predator laws gets caught breaking them with accomplices from fellow republican leaders running our county. Holy Crap Joe! Mark Foley (FL-R) was having Internet sexual relations with a minor boy! read this IM exchange from the now resigned congressman from my state Mark Foley.

Now, Joe I'm going to assume that you take this as seriously as I would - had this been a democrat congressman. (I myself am a democrat but I watch your show occasionally, especially now since you seem more centrist. The whole 'is Bush an Idiot' brought me back for a few shows.) If this was a dem I'd be super pissed, but I am writing you and you only to see how you would respond to this. It turns out that at least 9 or 10 other republicans knew about Foley's problem for over a few years (2003) and protected him. Check on that. If true I feel that the GOP has lost everything they ever gained because of these bad reps. I don't care if you take me seriously or not but I do watch your show after Hardball late at night because I think you are not as partisan as most cable hosts, even for a former republican congressman from FL.I am living in Jax, FL in red county Duval. Looking for justice in a messed up USA.
Also contact the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children to see if they still support Mark Foley. http://www.missingkids.com
