Oh Lord

Dave Weigel:

Quick: See if you can guess what caucus Rep. Mark Foley led before today's news that he would resign from Congress after being exposed for e-flirting with young boys?

Give up? Come on, it's easy. The Missing and Exploited Children Caucus.

That link goes to a press release in which Foley touts a sex offender registry bill. "The bill adds, among other things, the 'use of the Internet to facilitate or commit a crime against a minor' as one that will trigger registration." I swear I'm not making this up.
