more proof that republican leadership knew damn well what foley's interest in those pages was really like. plus, scientology!!!
I don't know anything about Kirk Fordham, until yesterday chief of staff for GOP Congressman Tom Reynolds. Before working for Reynolds, he was for ten years chief of staff for Mark Foley. And in 2003 Fordham went to Denny Hastert's office telling them about Foley's behavior and begging them to do something about it.
Obviously, they didn't do anything. Why? No doubt because as I've said before, the Republicans don't give a shit about you if you aren't one of them -- and they'll protect a pedophile if he's THEIR pedophile, and will only abandon one of their own if the heat gets too close. Courageous protectors of family values, those guys. And Fordham could have done more earlier to protect the pages from his boss's skeevy attentions.
The Department of Justice is getting involved, warning people not to destroy emails or other documents related to Foleygate -- although I'm sure their pace of investigation will be slow enough to get safely past the November elections. As usual in Washington, the coverup seems more threatening than the original crime.
Meanwhile, Foley is safely in a rehab center. Well, maybe it isn't so safe -- it's run by Scientologists. Nice to see L. Ron's people sheltering a pedophile. Think they'll get any credit from the GOP for holding their black sheep incommunicado for thirty days? But it'll be longer. I'm sure the scale of Foley's terrible alcohol addiction, which NOBODY noticed before last Friday, by the way, will simply require him to remain in the tender care of the Scientologists -- who owe Foley a few political favors -- until at least the second Wednesday in November.
I'm not sure what would be worse -- facing the music publicly or having a bunch of loony Scientologists blathering on at you about your thetan levels and Xenu and all that crap.
