Saying he was "deeply sorry," Congressman Mark Foley (R-FL) resigned from Congress today, hours after ABC News questioned him about sexually explicit internet messages with current and former congressional pages under the age of 18.
A spokesman for Foley, the chairman of the House Caucus on Missing and Exploited Children, said the congressman submitted his resignation in a letter late this afternoon to Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert.

Head over to John Aravosis' "Americablog" and see the screen captures of Foley's IMs with some of these kids.

And it gets even creepier: Haster has known about Foley's "refined proclivities" for a year or more.

Republicans: The Party of Caligula.

The nom de plume has a long and distinguished history.
