Republicans rocked by Foley scandal

This was not the kind of October surprise the Republicans were hoping for.

Last Friday, US Representative Mark Foley of Florida resigned in disgrace after revelations that he had been sending some NSFW (not safe for work) messages to teenage pages - young interns in Congress.

Initially, the messages were described as "over-friendly", but then ABC News received records of racy instant message chats the 52-year-old Congressman had been having with teenage boys.
