Glenn Beck‘s star may have risen higher than ever when he arrived at Fox News, but long before he was drawing on chalkboards and counting czars on his hands he was up to all sorts of mischief at Headline News, where his program was a bit more of a pop culture hodgepodge than a daunting, consistent barrage of information on how the world may or may not be ready to call it a lifetime. Beck was also more prone to interviewing guests, and one night entertained the legendary Mr. T, who he somehow got to comment on the Mark Foley scandal.

Before last night, only CNN could tout a bona fide sex scandal veteran on their Rep. Anthony Weiner sexting fiasco coverage team. Tonight, Fox News upped the ante with an exclusive interview with former Congressman Mark Foley, who told Sean Hannity how he overcame his demons and how he expects Rep. Weiner can repair his life.

Tonight on Fox News, Sean Hannity is bringing in an expert on Internet sex scandals to interview. Former Florida Republican Congressman Mark Foley is Hannity’s guest and he will not only discuss his own Internet sex scandal that forced him to resign, but while he is there, he’ll also have some comments on Anthony Weiner’s ongoing controversy as well.

Oh, irony. Mark Foley, the Florida congressman who left his job in 2006 after reports he’d sent a series of sexually-charged emails to young men who were former Congressional pages, is back on the political scene. The Palm Beach Post reports Foley headlined a weekend meeting of Palm Beach County’s Young Republicans. The choice of Foley as a speaker for an audience of young people resulted in criticism when the announcement was made in Florida, with one critic turning to Twitter with the message “have you people lost your minds?”

Remember Mark Foley, the former Republican Representative who resigned in 2006 after aggressively macking on young, male Congressional pages? Wonkette reports that he’s now a real estate agent and he’s on twitter, with an account (twitter.com/markfoleyfla) that reads like an Arthur Miller ode to the life that passed him by.

Dana Milbank’s Washington Post column today is more of a trend-spotter than a policy analysis, noting that the Republican “Class of ‘94” that stormed in during Newt Gingrich’s Republican Revolution seems to have more sex scandals than most. “No fewer than 15 of the 73 elected in the landslide that year,” Milbank writes, “have entertained the nation with flaps that include messy divorces and a suspicious car accident.” In other words, the Class of ’94 is bringing career-destroying sexy back. But did it ever leave?

The sudden downfall of Eugene Robinson‘s career at the hands of his libido (no pun intended!), brought to mind all the other politicians who have suffered a similar fate . Behold, a catalog of the most awesome most absurd ways the most lustful lads have been captured in the media.
