Kolbe confronted Foley about improper emails in 2000.
Retiring Rep. Jim Kolbe (R-AZ) confronted Mark Foley in 2000 about his personal communications with pages. Kolbe had been informed of sexually explicit Internet messages from Foley that had made the youth feel uncomfortable with the direction Foley was taking their email relationship. “The revelation pushes back by at least five years the date when a member of Congress has acknowledged learning of Foley’s behavior with former pages.”

Of course, I’m sure that Kolbe was actiing as a Democratic operative being paid by Soros. After all, it’s always everyone else’s fault but the GOP’s.

Thanks, TP. This won’t hinder the GOP from winning the majority of the house, thank god.
October 9th, 2006 at 8:44 amSure it’s the Dems fault. The Grand ol Pervs een tried to blame clinton for it. They also blamed Clinton and the Dems for the North Korea test even though they have been in power fo12 years since 1994 when they took the House. What did they do? It’s never the Pervs fault.
October 9th, 2006 at 8:48 amJust think…the worse it gets…the better it gets. I haven’t read a novel as good as this fiasco in a long time!
October 9th, 2006 at 8:58 amThey’re eating each other!
October 9th, 2006 at 9:00 amDaryll,
Even god can’t help your pathetic party now.

The only question left is whether Americans will vote Democrat or Independent, after all of the shit the Republicans have pulled over the last six years, the Republican’s time in office is done.
October 9th, 2006 at 9:17 amIsn’t Kolbe the Democrat on the Page board? The headline needs an edit, in case anyone has moderator responsibilities.
Bush is going down…on whom we will soon find out!!
Sing it Susan!!
October 9th, 2006 at 9:33 amKolbe is the only openly gay republican in the house.

October 9th, 2006 at 9:54 amJim Kolbe is serving his eleventh term in the United States House of Representatives. He was first sworn into Congress in 1985, becoming the first Republican to represent southern Arizona since statehood.
“CatholicPriestsLoveLittleboys”, (Horrible Name BTW) Don’t underestimate the power of the People to Jump when they hear “Boo!”.
Sadly, It would not surprise me in the slightest if this makes no difference on Election day.
October 9th, 2006 at 9:57 amIt is clear that 1/3 of Americans will continue to support Bush and the sick, corrupt GOP no matter what happens. If the GOP loses the House and Senate in November, as seems likely now, I expect many of these reality-challenged freaks to deny the legitimacy of the election (without factual basis, of course). How many of these people might be willing to support Bush if he claims power to nullify the elections?
October 9th, 2006 at 10:12 am2000? as in pre-W 2000? the repercussions of this cover-up are growing exponentially… to think, the last six years could have been avoided had this come out when it should have!!!
October 9th, 2006 at 10:28 amKolbe was most likely doing the male Pages too, but he decided to retire at the end of this year, so cannot get kicked out of the House!
October 9th, 2006 at 10:37 amAnd Rep Kolbe, being the upstanding representative of the people he is, protected those pages by exposing Rep Foley’s predatory ways….
Huh? What? Oh, I was dreaming again…
October 9th, 2006 at 11:00 amSorry for the erroneous idea about Kolbe being a Democrat…I think the Democrat I was thinking of is Kildee…
October 9th, 2006 at 11:04 amGOP GUYS LOVE COCK !!!
October 9th, 2006 at 11:50 amMOST LIKE IT IN THIER RECTOMS.
Gay Republicans are bi-sexual,
October 9th, 2006 at 12:02 pmthey like men & boys.
Daryll,
Catch!
The GOP already has a majority. Therefore they would want to MAINTAIN or KEEP the majority.
Now you can tell you right wing buddies that you caught a clue.
October 9th, 2006 at 12:04 pmSo much for the party who claimed to have a direct line to Jesus, eh?
So much for the party who claimed to hold the high moral and ethical ground, eh?
It’s a long fall from grace, but it’s happened. ReichWingNuts squandered EVERYTHING away. Incompetent Misleaders.
October 9th, 2006 at 12:08 pm33% of voters will be voting Republican. I just hope that Diebold will not be voting 51% Republican.
October 9th, 2006 at 1:27 pmI wonder if information will soon surface about Rep. Kolbe’s relationships with congressional pages.
Today’s Washington Post story reports very close relationships between Kolbe and pages.
October 9th, 2006 at 2:07 pmFoley uses his position of authority as a means to sexually exploit underage pages. No different than a teacher predating on his/her students.
Hastert also quit teaching when he was accused of improper realtions with male students, Hastert was a wrestling coach and history teacher.
October 9th, 2006 at 3:06 pmEverybody told somebody, but nobody followed up. That’s the part that will sink a bunch of them. They talk big and are expected to act accordingly.
October 9th, 2006 at 10:25 pm#19 Nobody ever accused Daryll of being intelligent. Come on, his name is Daryll.
