BUSH ADMINISTRATION BLAMES TEEN FOR "DROPPING THE BALL" ON 9/11: "THAT BOY OBVIOUSLY HATES FREEDOM," SAYS VEEP CHENEYWASHINGTON - The Congressional teen page who received sexually explicit instant messages from former Congressman Mark Foley, R-Fla. finds himself deeper in controversy today because it was revealed that two months before the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center, Foley's message texts warned the page of an imminent attack on New York City by al-Qaida.
One of Foley's messages to the teen read: "[A]l-qaida set to attack NYC . . . are you naked?"
The young page took no action in response to the warning.
Members of the Bush administration are demanding the page's resignation. "If you want to know who really dropped the ball on 9/11," said Vice President Dick Cheney, "it wasn't the Bush adminstration. It was this page, who obviously hates freedom."
