Has Foley been accused of actually cornholing anyone?
Have any pages actually been converted to buggery or were they poofs to begin with?

The media, the FBI as well as the GOP House leadership have reportedly been in possession of these emails for months. The FBI didn't think they had enough to make a case so they did nothing.

"In 1983, then-Democratic Rep. Gerry Studds of Massachusetts was caught in a similar situation. In his case, Studds had sex with a male teenage page -- something Foley hasn't been charged with.

Did Studds express contrition? Resign? Quite the contrary. He rejected Congress' censure of him and continued to represent his district until his retirement in 1996.

In 1989, Rep. Barney Frank (news, bio, voting record), also of Massachusetts, admitted he'd lived with Steve Gobie, a male prostitute who ran a gay sex-for-hire ring out of Frank's apartment. Frank, it was later discovered, used his position to fix 33 parking tickets for Gobie.

What happened to Frank? The House voted 408-18 to reprimand him -- a slap on the wrist. Today he's an honored Democratic member of Congress, much in demand as a speaker and "conscience of the party."--http://news.yahoo.com/s/ibd/20061002/bs_ibd_ibd/2006102issues01.

This isn't the Manson murders here. The Democrats are going to wring everything they can out of this, because the election is coming up and their platform is Attack, attack, attack and nothing else.
