Bush suddenly started avoiding Foley in Sept. 2004, after months of using Foley to help Bush's re-election campaign. What did Bush find out?

Why did the White House suddenly decide two years ago that Foley was too hot to handle?
And even more interesting, why did Foley reach out to Jeb Bush about something he needed his advice on right about the time Foley's creepy emails became known amonst Republicans on the Hill in late 2005? Did Foley and Jeb Bush talk about the sdandal a year ago? Did the White House know something two years ago?

Foley: "Tomorrow Potus is in Martin County and I am told I am not allowed to be there either. 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 on everything from haiti to hurricanes ... sorry to trouble you ... and I wouldn't if this wasn't so frequent ..." http://www.palmbeachpost.com/news/content/nation/epaper/2006/10/12/m5a_FOLEY_EMAIL_1012.html

1. George Bush Sr. said he like Congressman Foley a lot on LKing

I think they want to portray that they were distancing themselves. How do we know those emails are legitimate between Jeb and Mr. Foley? They indeed could be but who benefits from looking like he was distancing himself.

George Bush.

Actions speak louder than words - actions show that Karl Rove (ie Dick Cheney,others) forced Foley to stay in the game. Is that because they knew they would throw him off the bus at a later date? Certainly seems possible.
