Voting Can Be Pretty Boring, Unless....

Roll call votes in the 435 member House of Representatives can be pretty boring, unless you can find something else to pass the time:

Former Congressman Mark Foley (R-FL) interrupted a vote on the floor of the House in 2003 to engage in Internet sex with a high school student who had served as a congressional page, according to new Internet instant messages provided to ABC News by former pages.

ABC News now has obtained 52 separate instant message exchanges, which former pages say were sent by Foley, using the screen name Maf54, to two different boys under the age of 18.

This message was dated April 2003, at approximately 7 p.m., according to the message time stamp. ...

The House voted that evening on HR 1559, Emergency War Time supplemental appropriations.

Time flies when....gee whiz, this whole thing is disgusting.
