The Palm Beach Post
reports that ABC has as many as five pages that have come forward on Mark Foley.
From the story:
His sudden resignation as a Congressman, a position he loved, came only hours after he was confronted with e-mails and AOL instant messages he had exchanged with a pair of teenage boys. ABC News since has reported that as many as five boys -- all congressional pages -- have come forward.
Foley is also supposed to be an emotional wreck:
Foley left Washington on Saturday for an undisclosed location. He is said to be an emotional wreck. His older sister, Donna, who always has been by his side during his political campaigns, is with him.
As a commenter noted, this story is very evocative. It's hard to come away with out feeling at least some shred of pity for Foley. But it describes the fall out in the district the best that I've seen.
I just want to note that today I've exceeded my diary limit and this diary technically violates the rules. I'll let you troll rate me into oblivion or if someone else wants to copy this and post it themselves please go ahead. I will delete.
Update:
A lot of commenters are noting my line about "pity." Let me be clear, I think Foley deserves what he gets from this. And I think the Republican leadership who concealed it deserved what they get. Who I pity most in this entire sordid business are the kids he exploited. The reason why I posted this is to help make sure that his full exploits are known. And if there are truly 5 congressional pages from all of this, that it's far more of a conspiracy than originally known.
Update II
I said I was going to sleep, but it's insomnia for me. But as a note, Josh Marshall posts this story about more Congressional pages from the Scripps Howard News Service:
Sexually explicit messages from former Rep. Mark Foley to one former congressional page might be just the tip of the iceberg, the leader of an alumni association for former congressional pages told Scripps Howard News Service on Saturday.
