Congressman Mark Foley (R–FL) resigned Friday after it was revealed that he exchanged sexually charged Internet chat messages with a teenage boy. What do you think?

“Why all the fuss? Mark Foley is nothing but a hopeless romantic with a dream to keep chivalry alive. Congress has lost a great gentleman today.”

“It was a little disconcerting for Foley to issue his resignation via a Fall Out Boy chat room.”
