AN explosive sex scandal that has rocked the US Congress worsened amid new details of emails which suggest a former top lawmaker could have been romantically involved with an underage aide.

US ABC television, which first broke the scandal last week, published on its website new intimate email exchanges between former US Representative Mark Foley and a young, male congressional page, who exchanged Internet kisses and made plans for a future encounter.

Most of the exchanges previously made public showed Mr Foley propositioning congressional pages, who did not appear to entirely return his advances.

But in this email – from April 2003 – Mr Foley invites the teen to come to his home so they can drink alcohol, who enthusiastically accepts the invitation.

A section of the same message redacted by ABC reportedly shows the exchange between Foley and the youngster after having "cybersex."

ABC reported having received 52 separate emails and instant message communications between Foley and the boys, all high school students under the age of 18.

The revelations, one of the biggest scandals to hit the US Congress in years, led to Foley's resignation last week and may jeopardise an already endangered Republican majority in Congress.

Democrat representatives are tipped to win most of the seats in November's midterm election, according to polls.

US President George W Bush said he was "dismayed and shocked" by the contents of the email, in his first comments remarking on the scandal. Ohhhhhh shit, what a laugh you got to be kidding, Puleeeeze anyone want to puke.
