Wash Post::Pages warned to stay away from FOLEY since 1995

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/10/03/AR2006100301633.html

In 1995, male House pages were warned to steer clear of a freshman Republican from Florida, who was already learning the names of the teenagers, dashing off notes, letters and e-mails to them, and asking them to join him for ice cream, according to a former page.

Mark Beck-Heyman, now a graduate student in clinical psychology at George Washington University, and more than a dozen other former House pages said in interviews and via e-mail that Rep. Mark Foley was known to be extraordinarily friendly in a way that made some of them uncomfortable.

1. great quote!!!! scumbags have known for 11 years

"Mark Foley knew that he could get away with this type of behavior with male pages because he was a congressman," Beck-Heyman said. "But many people on Capitol Hill, including many high-level Republican staffers and members, have known for over 11 years about what was going on and chose to do nothing."

4. Sure they will. After all ...

... even though they "never could have imagined they'd hijack an airliner and crash it into a building" despite a PDB entitled "Osama bin Laden Determined to Strike in the US" ...

... they all foresaw Monica years ahead of time. Yep.

5. Republicans could care less about morality

And Rove hooked the right wing on lies, hook line and sinker.

6. Newt Gingrich was in charge back in 1995. Who's he gonna blame now?

Good grief--the hypocrisy is beyond belief in this party!!!! I can't fathom how they can all lie with such straight faces. Wow!
