SHOCKER: Brian Ross and ABC Expose MORE of Foley

There's more! Imagine that!

I'm shocked!!!

Gee, I didn't see this coming.

As I said before, Brian Ross is really beginning to creep me out. The way that he's peddling this soft porn is so sleazy.

I thought the "Ick factor" was pretty bad before, but it gets worse.

Here's the latest.

This message was dated April 2003, at approximately 7 p.m., according to the message time stamp.

Maf54: I miss you
Teen: ya me too
Maf54: we are still voting
Maf54: you miss me too

The exchange continues in which Foley and the teen both appear to describe having sexual orgasms.

Maf54: ok..i better go vote..did you know you would have this effect on me
Teen: lol I guessed
Teen: ya go vote…I don't want to keep you from doing our job
Maf54: can I have a good kiss goodnight
Teen: :-*
Teen:

Maf54: your not old enough to drink
Teen: shhh…

Teen: that's not what my ID says
Teen: lol
Maf54: ok
Teen: I probably shouldn't be telling you that huh
Maf54: we may need to drink at my house so we don't get busted

Is this some sort of experiment that ABC is conducting?

Is the network checking out how much traffic a lurid reality show posted on the Internet would generate?

You know the ABC News website has probably never had so many hits before.

Could this be ABC's way of circumventing TV network censors and standards? Is this an effort to get some enticing stuff up on its site, all in the name of news?

I am in no way excusing Foley's behavior; but this is beginning to look like the page was fishing for damning evidence to use against Foley.

Why did the teen take part in these exchanges? Why did he keep them? A romance to remember?

Mem'ries,
Light the corners of my mind
Misty water-colored memories
Of the way we were
Scattered pictures,
Of the smiles we left behind
Smiles we gave to one another
For the way we were

This page seems more like a cop posing as a kid to trap an online predator than an innocent teen being abused by Foley.

I want to be clear. I'm not blaming the page. He was underage at the time. Foley is at fault here, but I am noting the kid's role. He was hardly a passive bystander.

We know that the Dems are hoping to demoralize the base. That's clear.

This obviously orchestrated release of messages documenting the misbehavior of Foley is being sounded as the death knell of the Republicans.

Do the Dems really think that the Religious Right will prefer to let pro-abortionists take over Congress?

I think that's a miscalculation.

The way ABC is releasing the information and the timing seem very suspect to me.

Remember, the teen's parents didn't want this to come out. They must be going absolutely nuts, unless they're hoping to sell their story and get a book deal.

In any case, there is no question that Foley is slimy. NO QUESTION.

However, I think at the end of all this, Brian Ross, ABC, and the Dems may be the one's with the sticky mess on their hands.
