Report: Foley tried entering pages' dorm
UPI ^ | 10/11/06

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."

This "dormitory" report was in the "orginal stack of stuff" (sorry Rush) in the early speculations on day one or two of the story.

So, a UPI editor must have gotten a call from Pelosi asking for some help keeping the Foley affair alive.

"Paul tells MoJo he knew al-Qaeda’s Abu Musab al-Zarqawi “when he was nobody.” Dubbed the "spiritual adviser to the scum of the Earth," Paul says he has counseled such men as Saddam Hussein, Muammar al-Khaddafi, Slobodan Milosevic, Liberia's Charles Taylor ---- ".

This guy K.A. Paul is a complete idiot, as are all those mindless morons asking for Hastert's resignation.

Did he run over a barrier while going driving there drunk???

Ooops - That's the other DemocRAT Kennedy (not the one named Teddy - who forgot his date Mary-Joe back in the car and couldn't hear his nephew raping a girl on the front lawn years later.)

McCain never met a bandwaggon that he couldn't jump on... And just think, he ruined his chances at being President by standing up for soft treatment of the enemy.... Like he had any chance in the first place.

Give it a rest ABC News! You have no story. Just pathetic desperation. The National Enquirer reports more truthful news!

And therein lies the difference between the GOP and the Democrats. A Republican merely "tries" to get into the dorm while Bill Clinton would have actually done it. He's a true man of action, not a pretender like Mark Foley! Bill Clinton would have gotten in, porked every last page, and told 'em to put some ice on it. No mamby-pamby IMs or dirty emails for him! Vote Democratic the fall and bring back real, MANLY sex scandals!

</sarcasm>

McStain, put a cork in it.

Still no proof this happened. If it did happen, it's not against the law anyway. The dorms are always guarded against congress-pervs and other criminal types.

"He resigned & is in rehab. Well isn't that convenient!"

If the individual is guilty, it shows the American people how something like this should be handled - no stone-walling, finger wagging, lying under oath etc.

Just resign and leave town.
