Clerk asked to look into report of Foley incident at page's dorm

WASHINGTON — 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.

Lawmakers have been talking about the alleged incident since Friday, when Foley resigned amid reports he sent sexually explicit Intenet e-mails to a House page.

U.S. Rep. Deborah Pryce, R-Ohio, is calling for a further investigation of the dorm report.
“Congresswoman Pryce contacted the clerk and asked her to look into this rumor,” said Geoff Embler, a spokesman for Pryce.

Rep. Roger Wicker, a Mississippi Republican, asked Pryce and other House leaders, including House Speaker Dennis Hastert, about the alleged incident during a conference call Monday evening, Embler said.

edit to add tantalizing tidbit -
CNN…

Dana Bash said earlier that there’s a rumor floating around D.C. about yet another REPUBLICAN lawmaker that’s about to be named in a SEX scandal. Hmm…

to make sure everything was alright.

Like you, I was expecting instant gratification when I hit that yes button!...maybe I am too optimistic.;)

Stupid computers.


:party:

So naturally it didn't do what you wanted it to do.

Innocent enough.

:P

That's not fair, getting our hopes up and all. ;)

No priority on morals, just power.

Erika, you summed it up beautifully! Foley had a long history for enticing male pages.

"Tyson Vivyan, 26, speaks about former U.S. Rep. Mark Foley during an interview in Atlanta, Thursday, Oct. 5, 2006. Vivyan claims Foley sent him sexually suggestive messages after he served as a congressional page 10 years ago. He said Thursday that Foley began sending him instant messages about a month or two after his nine-month stint as a page ended in June 1997."

This guy is a pedophile and a user. Foley gives alcoholics and gays a bad name. He is using them as scapegoats for his own moral depravity, just as he used the page system with the knowledge and acquiescence of the GOP (now known as "Groping Old Pedophiles") as a serial enticer to perversion. For him to now scapegoat the church is ludicrous: "A priest got me started, so I enticed others."

Foley is a smarmy little dick without the balls to be gay.

Should the majority party that provided him cover for his perversion for years be investigating this?

"did you hear that it's all a hoax, the kid he was talking to was over 18".

I just said, "which one?"

:rofl:




thanks for the link, great ammo. :evilgrin:

Which one, indeed! Foley is a serial predator, and my hunch is that it's only a matter of time before someone verifies that he got lucky with a minor. And it's going to take courage to do so, as I read earlier that reporting pages and their families are being subjected to threats.

This is getting juicer and juicer by the day. I can't wait to find out what will happen tomorrow (rubbing hands together gleefully).

and it seems rather dishonest to blame Dems for the crimes of GOP Congressmen.

Thank you for putting it more eloquently than I could have.

Not me.

it's all on the repigs!!!

I've never said the contrary.

I'm glad the scandal has legs, that's all.

I'm a SW who works with children and family who have been referred for abused or neglect. I see child rape and sexual predators all the time, so please don't assume I would celebrate something like that.

if the scandal "has legs" then there's a chance we can get these repuke outta congress who cover up something like this.

Just when people were starting to doubt his "I'm a drunk" explanation for his behavior....

Here comes this story.

I must admit, I'm a bit wary of this one. The timing is just too convenient.

The pitiful Republicans have nothing to lose, I guess. They'll throw anything at the wall just to get something to stick.

More people see the Woodward interviews. It's all good.

About the time the alcohol rehab looks bogus, along comes this convenient 'rumor' to lend some credence to the story.

I agree with you. It might be true, but I think it's a gambit. He didn't claim his "alcoholism" until he was looking for an excuse for his criminal behavior. There's no doubt that Foley could use a month out to access his life, but rehab is a good way to keep him sequestered while the GOP does damage control, too, just like resigning meant he kept his pension even though he violated House ethics rules.

Call me cynical, I've but watching these folks in action.

He, drunk, sought to engage in impropitious sexual acts with his subordinates? That makes him look worse in my mind. Just because he was out of control while drunk does not make him an alcoholic. Everybody does stupid stuff when they are drunk. And even if he is an alcoholic, which I really don't feel any authority to doubt, how does that make it any better? His actions are no more excusable simply becuase he is an alcoholic.

I'm sorry, but with all the revelations spilling out about this guys behavior for the last 3 or 4 years, I can no longer believe that members of the news media didn't know anything about it.

They are as culpable here as the GOP leaders. The country's bastion of "professional journalists" has stood by silently while this (and goodness knows what else) has gone on. They owe the public an answer also. Pronto.

someone in the cable news media had to have know this what a bunch of sick bastards.

"They owe the public an answer also. Pronto". Godamn right they do.

:rofl:

I suppose it's one step up from calling him a Democrat to not identify his party at all.

He's like the energizer pervert!!!

I can't even lay down for 30 minutes anymore or I'll miss something. :)

And that July 10th briefing, which means that second the first plane hit the tower (even before, when the planes from Boston changed course).They Knew..and what did they do?

That's what I want to know!

Merlot and email don't mix!!

and emailed that picture to everyone I know with the title..."Here's a picture of me!". :rofl: :rofl:

You can actually buy it!

:rofl:

sadly, it usually worked for Ted Bundy

Within a week we discover that he has cybersexed, invited boys over to his place to drink without "getting busted" and now we know of at least one booty call attempt. Just $#*&@ great. I hope all his attempts failed miserably but I'm not holding my breath.

:spray:

It's a freaking October Christmas.

He has been doing this shit for at least 10 years. A former page was hit upon by him 10 years ago.

Anyone know if the pages dorm has a video surveillance system as part of the security system?
If there is.I bet it could have some interesting shots.

:evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin:

their doors!!!

Were the police called? Was anyone called? Or did those in charge at the page dorm protect Foley by not reporting it to anyone? If they were and there is no report we should remind all the RWingers what they said about Kennedy getting special treatment when he had an auto accident.

I see where they're trying to go with this... blame it on alcoholism. Anyone who drinks has probably had an embarrassing experience at some point. I find it plausible that it may have happened, however, seeing as nobody can seem to recall Foley being any kind of drinker at all much less an out of control drinker, I have my doubts.

And if it DID happen, WHY THE FUCK WAS IT COVERED UP?!

I think they better latch onto a different excuse on the list... this one isn't going to fly.

"No, not by the hair on our chinny chin chins!"

:puke:

I'm sure he was carrying milk and cookies, ready to pull up the blankies and tuck them in. <sarcasm off>

This eliminates the "its just politics" argument. Very powerful stuff here.
