Foley's Behavior No Secret on Capitol Hill

October 1, 2006— It turns out Foley's obsession with 16- and 17-year-old male pages has been known to Republicans on Capitol Hill for at least five years.

Two of them were sent to pages in the 2001-2002 class, with sexually explicit messages, most too graphic to be broadcast, from Foley using the screen name Maf54.

A reference to his request that the page provide the measurements of his sexual organ, a request he repeatedly made to another page as well. snip

Former pages tell ABC News the pages involved with Foley were afraid to offend the powerful Republican congressman.

"So there would definitely be some hesitation especially for the people who want to move up in politics eventually," Loraditch explained. "You know, you don't want to get involved in something like that."

1. Anybody know if Foley was ever a page?

From the "old stories" of activities in government and at the White House, perhaps he was a victim as a young man. How long have they had pages in Congress? JAT

3. I remember 'gay pages' being all the rage in the late 70's early

80's. Must have been a big scandal back then, too.

2. C'mon ABC; if we could stand the semen stains on the blue dress...

C'mon ABC; if we could stand to hear (endlessly) about
the semen stains on the blue dress, we can stand to
hear what the Republican said.

4. Kinda bad news for Denny.

It more or less shoots down the whole "overly friendly" meme.

Edit to add----->

I also saw several posters claim that one of the pages called the first e-mails "sick" in a CNN quote this morning.

5. Well, he had to try, didn't he? n/t

6. So why didn't Foley check himself into

a clinic in these five years?:rofl: :rofl: :popcorn:

7. But the emails were to a 15-year-old. At least, the ones we saw were. nt
