House Republican Mark Foley has "absolutely, positively" not had sex with a minor, his lawyer told the New York Times today.
In related hilarity, although Foley has stepped down, the ballots for certain upcoming elections have already been printed.
"In Florida, Republicans met on Monday and chose Joe Negron, a conservative state representative, as a replacement candidate for the 16th Congressional District seat held by Mr. Foley. The ballots, however, have already been printed, and Mr. Foley’s name will remain. If he wins, the votes will go to Mr. Negron," the Times also reported. Therefore, “ 'to vote for this candidate, you have to vote for Mark Foley,' Mr. Boehner said on a conservative radio program hosted by Sean Hannity. 'How many people are going to hold their nose to do that?' "
