RE:"I take it that none of his constituents had a clue about Foley's 'interests'."

Foley owned a restaurant in Lake Worth, FL. He then became active in Lake Worth City government. Then a State Senator. Then a US Congressman. "Supposedly" there were rumors of him being gay back in the Lake worth city governemnt days. I guess 20 years ago or more.

I guess Ted, it's not politically correct to call out a gay.
Otherwise I don't know why it wasn't brought to the front sooner. I can say that to the average voter here it was not obvious.

RE:"There's a bigger issue here........why didn't they get rid of him back in 2001? They knew back then his interest in underaged pages was unhealthy. That's why they warned the pages to be careful around him."

I dunno. I suspect that a few witch hunts will ensue.
