Usually I think of politicians as smart, cunning and deceitful. Apparently I’m giving them too much credit. Mark Foley’s recent resignation after being caught sending sexually suggestive email and instant messages to 16 year old congressional pages is a new level of idiocy. Did he think that no one would find out? And now it turns out that his party leader Dennis Hastert knew about it more than a year ago and did nothing about it. What is the logic is there? You’ll be able to bury it forever? You’ll wait until he re-secures his congressional seat and then have him resign?
