Does it say how the information has come out? I've yet to see that.
BTW how much time do you need to address the issue? Considering this was apparently being 'refered to authories' last fall. I'm sure the people of Florida would have like to know their house Rep was a pedophile before letting him actually continue representing them in the house.

Well, they don't actually have a choice as to whether he continued to represent them or not. That is up to the rest of the House and specifically the ethics committee. The only time the people of his district have a say is on election day...which as you pointed out is right around the corner. That short window undoubtedly helps whatever democrat is running against him immensely.
I'm actually not sure what you were pointing to with the timing. It certainly doesn't help the GOP, Foley's party.
I am as disgusted as the next person and was just trying to offer some explanation as to why some may have known for a while and hadn't acted on their knowledge yet.
The information came from Foley, but clearly he knew somebody was going to out him. Evidently his description of what he did wasn't very accurate either.
