TALLAHASSEE -- The Florida Democratic Party filed a request Tuesday with Attorney General Charlie Crist's office for records concerning former U.S. Rep. Mark Foley, R-Fort Pierce.

Crist, the Republican nominee for governor, served in the state Senate with Foley for two years in the early 1990s. His office is contributing to a state and federal criminal investigation into Foley's behavior with congressional pages.

State Democratic Party Chairwoman Karen Thurman submitted a public-records request seeking information about communications involving Foley, who resigned from Congress this month amid allegations that he sent sexually explicit electronic instant messages and e-mails to underage male pages.

Thurman said the Democratic Party is not alleging that Crist had any previous knowledge of Foley's behavior or would not be willing to disclose any findings of his office's investigators.

"In light of the recent revelations of a cover-up at the highest levels of the Republican Congress, we feel it is pertinent that we make this request," Thurman said.

2. I like it!

I want to know what Crist knew and when. I'm sure there's a lot more to this story. Hopefully, it will come out, oh, in the next several days...
