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.”

“I can't believe an upstanding citizen like Foley would do such a thing. He must have thought he was talking to a teenage girl.”

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