It does to me. I think he should be out of Congress for improper use of power over a subordinate (just as Clinton should have been out of office for the exact same thing). But if he's broken no laws, he does not deserve to be in jail.

Why should he be protected he had no problem taking advantage of children send him to jail and see what protection he will have in there, and him being gay come on what a excuse for what you done i know alot of gay people who dont touch children and you are giving them a bad name. you are nothing but a sick pedophile.

Not only does he try to cover this up by going to rehab and saying he is an alcoholic (like that is an excuse for his behavior) but now he is also saying he is gay. BEING GAY DOES NOT MAKE YOU A PEDOPHILE! Mr. Foley you are a pedophile. Any person gay, straight, crooked, left, right, whatever, that goes after a minor in any sexual way is a pedophile. There are no excuses for this man and he should pay for what he has done just like anyone else would. I'm tired of politicians and the wealthy getting away with things that the average joe would not.

Tony Snow, for one, could learn a lesson. I respect your integrity for calling out this behavior regardless of political party.

His little rehab-stunt was a pathetic cover-up, as well. Robin Williams nailed it (regarding rehab): "If you're violating your standards faster than you can lower them, time to go away," ... Foley's lower than toilet scum, and truly belongs in jail. What a freaking sick-o! His little rehab-stunt was a pathetic cover-up, as well.
