House Pages Were Warned To Stay Away From Rep. Foley

I kid you not. The Blotter has the story: A Republican staff member warned congressional pages five years ago to watch out for Congressman Mark Foley, according to a former page. Matthew Loraditch, a page in the 2001-2002 class, told ABC News he and other pages were warned about Foley by a supervisor in the House Clerk's office. ...
I beleive that was a story from LAST FRIDAY. Since then, Matthew issued a correction, saying that ABC misunderstood what he had said.
He SAID that what he told ABC was that the pages were told Foley was a "bit odd", which I think was code for "he's gay, so watch out boys".
Nobody could say that directly, because you'd be called a homophobe. But you have to warn them:
See, we always warn our daughters to watch out for older men that pay too much attention to them. It's drilled into them their entire lives (or it should be).
But most people don't think to warn their boys of older men -- it would confuse them since we send them off to boy scouts and other activities where there are men we want them to admire and learn from.
Therefore, when you put those boys in a situation where there is a homosexual man who is a predator, those boys don't know what to watch out for, and they can be taken advantage of.
So, someone decided to warn the pages to protect them, but they had to do it in code so as not to be called a homophobe.
