5:47 PM Foley Update.

I'm assuming everyone saw the anti-Hastert bombshell (Fordham says he reported Foley years ago, Hastert says he's lying,) but you may not have seen this yet,
A senior House Republican has asked the House clerk to look into allegations that then-Rep. Mark Foley was turned away from the congressional page dorm on Capitol Hill after arriving there intoxicated one night.

It's just a rumor at this point. A dirty, salacious, intoxicating rumor.

  • I can hardly wait for the Polaroids to surface.

    And the treasure trove from the search warrent. Wouldn't you just love (in a twisted sort of way) to find out what's on Foley's ol' hard drive?

  • Yes and no. I'm finding myself conflicted on the whole thing.

    My first preference would be that the sex part would all go away, that it would all end up being about the coverup, but at the same time, whenever these new disgusting revelations come out, I still read them.

    I liked this one because it's tawdry and salacious, but doesn't really involve anyone but Foley.

  • Actually, I was just being glib... the Polaroid I was thinking of was just of a drunken slob trying to flirt with pages.

    Frankly I wasn't thinking about sexually explicit material being found on his computer, just tawdry and embarrassing stuff.

    Your a better man than I, but your right: I really don't want to find this creep was actually... you know... "doing" kids. I hope it's all just IMs and email. I also hope we find a hard "paper" trail on the Repub power-players.

  • Oh, somewhere, maybe not the office computer, they're going to find some nasty porn.

    I doubt there's a paper trail, because if they were covering, they knew this was explosive.
