WASHINGTON, Oct. 11 (UPI) -- A former Republican worker in Washington claims former Rep. Mark Foley tried to gain entrance to the pages' dormitory while drunk, ABC News reports.
The network said the testimony will be given to the House ethics committee on Thursday by Kirk Fordham, Foley's former chief of staff.
A source said Fordham will testify he was told by House clerk Jeff Trandahl that Foley had been stopped by security staff a few years ago, and that Fordham said he notified the office of House Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-Ill.
Foley resigned when reports emerged he had been sending suggestive messages to underage male pages. Two days later he entered an alcohol rehabilitation clinic.
Hastert is also fighting calls for his resignation for doing little about the reports when they were first allegedly made.
U.S Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., called for an independent investigation of the scandal as "there's conflicting stories as we all know as to who knew what and when."

Abolish this stupid page program.
What kind of parent would send their kids to live in the middle of hundreds and hundreds of politicians anyway?
I mean, did you ever wonder why they call it "congress?"
And if the kid comes home screwed,
Why should he be different from anyone else who spends time or money in Washington?

He was probably drunk when he did it. He has admitted to having a drinking problem - that's all folks.
Remember when a Kennedy got picked up dui, went for treatment, all is well now.

Foley being a Republican has taken all the fun out of this.

Lets see... he didn't have sex with a minor... and he's quit. So far... he's acted more responsibly than Garry Studds.

Untill the day after the election. Then the media will stop.

This story is more of a condemnation of the gay lifestyle than it is of the Republican party.
