Questions about Kolbe's conduct

I'd read about Rep. Kolbe's camping trip, but this is new, "an unidentified source made allegations about the congressman's behavior on the expedition."

(If you read the whole piece, there may be nothing there, but with the recent confusion over his knowledge/contact with Foley stretching back to 2000, and the odd coincidence that he offered the use of his Washington house to one of Kolbe's IM targets, it's worth mentioning.)

Also: Why did the White House start snubbing Foley in 2004? Tony Snow was asked that today in the press briefing. Snow said he'd have to look into it.

And, Foley's cryptic message to Jeb Bush about the time the page went to Rep Alexander?

  • There's smoke in the Kolbe allegation, though I'm not sure there's fire. Still - if there turns out to be anything there there and it is revealed BEFORE the election, November 7th sure could be interesting.

  • I feel the same way about this. I would think if there was anything really wrong on that trip the article would've been stronger.

    The only reason I posted on it was all the previous connections to Foley, and the political implications of this story.

    I agree, I think it's smoke, but there's smoke coming from several places.

    And, without a testimonial from somebody, I don't see this cracking by election day. (If there's anything to crack.)
