A former aide to Florida congressman Mark Foley will go before investigators today.
Mark Foley's former chief of staff Kirk Fordham will testify today before the house ethics committee.
Fordham says he warned house speaker Dennis Hastert's staff three years ago of Foley's inappropriate conduct toward pages.
Hastert has denied knowing of Foley's conduct before the end of september and has said anyone involved in a coverup should lose their job.
"But, I am telling you, the ethics committee does not have the where with all to get to the bottom of this!"
Many on the ethics committee won't WANT to get to the bottom of it. Delay, delay, delay.
I'm glad you sent your info direct. Now, they need to get on with it!
"Many on the ethics committee won't WANT to get to the bottom of it. Delay, delay, delay."
That's just it...and time is running short!
Foley, Fordham, and Palmer: All gay, right? "Not that there's anything wrong with that."©
I'm beginning to think there WAS a cover-up. No, not a Republican coverup. A GAY coverup.

"Only the FBI can do that and if we don't start hearing something soon on that front..then my research needs to come out in the open ,so you guys can decide!"
---- The FBI is so compromised with Clintonistas that it will do nothing of substance unless its hand is forced by those who embarrass them into action.
It really is a shame that as an out gay man you are spending your first National Coming Out Day today in "rehab" (wink, wink).
From wonkette: I have a 2nd hand sighting, from a very good friend of mine who said Foley has been harborred by friends in DC since everything went down… most recently he was staying around 11th st NW… with an ANC commissioner friend… He was driven to the airport on Monday Night… my friend drove him… If you can get into flight manifests, it should show him on a plane from National Airport to somewhere around 7-9pmish….
interesting...wonder if he is vacationing in Thailand?.....lol
To: "TexKat (Just because you did not see it or read it, that does not mean it did or did not happen.)"
----- Just because you saw it and read it, doesn't mean that it happened.
BTTT!
Only partially right!
And, what about gay Boy Scout troup leaders?

WASHINGTON - Rep. Jim Kolbe (R-Ariz.) took two male pages with him on a three-day camping trip in 1996, former congressional pages and National Park Service officials have told NBC News.
The pages, who were 17 at the time, went rafting and camping with Kolbe in the Grand Canyon over the July 4th holiday that year.
A spokeswoman for Kolbe confirmed the overnight trip but said that the pages did not travel alone with Kolbe.
The congressman's sister, along with office staffers and several Park Service employees, traveled with Kolbe and the pages, Kolbe spokeswoman Korenna Cline said.

Foley says White House snubbed him
Reuters Thursday, October 12, 2006; 4:52 PM
MIAMI (Reuters) - Disgraced former U.S. Rep. Mark Foley complained to Florida Gov. Jeb Bush two years ago that the White House snubbed him during presidential visits to the state, according to e-mails obtained by the Palm Beach Post.
(http://www.palmbeachpost.com) on Thursday, Foley asked the
"Have I done something to offend the White House? ... I am always getting the shaft," Foley wrote to Gov. Bush on September 29, 2004.
The Republican former congressman said in that message he had not been allowed to accompany the president on post-hurricane visits to Foley's district in Florida, although other local lawmakers had been invited.
"I can't quite figure what I have done, but this is a continuing pattern of slights. ... I have constantly put the president in the best possible light," Foley wrote to the governor.
(Excerpt)
A student at the University of Michigan has told the Michigan Daily that former Rep. Mark Foley got his attention five years ago, when he was a page. Richard Nguyen, a first-year student at the university's Gerald Ford School of Public Policy, said he saw Foley make "inappropriate contact" with another page on the House floor, the Daily reports.
"I wasn't sure if it was a social norm I wasn't accustomed to," Nguyen told the Daily. "I mean, you see athletes patting each other's asses all the time on the field."
Well, people do say politics is a sport.
But Nguyen thinks of the page program as a learning experience, he told the Daily, and he wants it to be preserved. In that fight, he joins a University of Texas sophomore who has just launched a lobbying group that hopes to go to Washington speak on the program's behalf, the Daily Texan reports.
Foley Cruising in His BMW; Another Dorm Visit in 2000
October 11, 2006 11:33 AM
Rhonda Schwartz Reports:
A staff supervisor at the dorm for congressional pages intervened when former Rep. Mark Foley (R-FL) tried to pay the teens a nighttime visit in the summer of 2000, ABC News has learned.
The pages were having an informal "mixer" party in their dorm at the Tip O'Neil building behind the Capitol, according to a former page who was 17 at the time.
"It was a beautiful summer evening, and I recall Mr. Foley arriving in his blue Series 3 BMW convertible about 9:30 at night," the former page said. "Several of us saw him and went outside to chat."
A page program supervisor came out to warn the pages "not to go far because they weren't signed out" and shooed them back inside, he recalled.
The page supervisor was one of the adult staffers who worked for the House Clerk's office, which oversees the page program. It is not known if any formal report was filed regarding Foley's surprise visit.
The former page, who spoke to ABC News on the condition he not be identified, said he then began receiving instant messages and e-mails from Foley which became sexually explicit immediately following his 18th birthday.
He said he has not retained any of the messages or e-mails.
"I would turn on my instant messenger, and he would be online at all hours of the day or night. The talk would quickly turn sexual," he said. He says Foley requested that he send photos of himself performing sexual acts.
According to Newsweek Magazine, it was the report of a similar nighttime visit by an inebriated Foley to the page dorm sometime in 2002 or 2003 that caused Foley's then Chief of Staff, Kirk Fordham, to alert Speaker Hastert's office to the congressman's inappropriate actions, a warning Hastert's office now says they never received.
