How the mighty have fallen: Mark "Turn the Page" Foley opens secondhand store.

There may not be any second acts in American lives. But there are definitely second-hand stores.

Which is where you would find former congressman Mark Foley who resigned his House seat in 2006 after disclosures about his inappropriate contacts with teenaged Capitol Hill pages. He's opened a consignment shop in West Palm Beach.

1. Consignment shops will make some nice dough. Especially where he is, rich folk needing

cash and privacy will go to him.

He'll be fine.

5. second hand also = antique

lots of gay decorator stereotypes running through my mind (and have been in some of those gay-owned antique shops too)

2. Is it a second hand store or a pawn shop?

Sounds more like a pawn shop.

3. This is pretty funny - I guess he didn't save much of the bribe money he got from lobbyists,

so he's selling off personal possessions bought while he was in government "service"...Taxpayers ought to get a cut of it - we paid for it.

Does fucking teenagers qualify you as a "Celebrity"?
