October 17th, 2006 at 10:37 amI don’t know what’s more sad. This news or the fact that it doesn’t surprise me.
October 17th, 2006 at 10:37 amNext thing you know, where gonna hear about the Dukestir throwing Page parties at the Watergate.
October 17th, 2006 at 10:44 amNice question mark TP, thouight you guys were better than Fox news.
October 17th, 2006 at 10:46 amWhy should we be surprised if another GOP member molested or tried to hit on underage teenage Pages? Most DC Repubs are closeted hypocrites, so expect some of them to be exposed for sexual infractions > OUT them all!

October 17th, 2006 at 11:17 amFeds probe trip that Kolbe made with pages
NBC exclusive: Congressman alleged to have been inappropriate in ‘96
By Jim Popkin, Aram Roston and the NBC News Investigative Unit
Updated: 12:55 a.m. CT Oct 13, 2006
WASHINGTON – Federal prosecutors in Arizona have opened a preliminary investigation of a camping trip Congressman Jim Kolbe, R-Ariz., took 10 years ago that included two teenage congressional pages, a Justice Department spokesman told NBC News. NBC News first reported on the camping and rafting trip on Tuesday.
…
Jim Kolbe (R-AZ) took a camping trip with underage pages 10 years ago. Is that normal?
October 17th, 2006 at 11:21 amThis kind of innuendo is exactly how Republicans smear Democrats. It’s about time Democrats gave Republicans a taste of their own medicine.
October 17th, 2006 at 11:50 amI posted this on digg yesterday. I was hoping it’d be front paged (not because I care about that sort of thing but because it’s news). The digg link is here

October 17th, 2006 at 3:12 pmNameless lawmaker is news for TP, but senate minority leader, Harry Reid breaking ethics rules with shady million dollar profits is nowhere to be found. Can anyone explain to me what happened to progressive credibility?
October 17th, 2006 at 3:47 pmMemo to: Paul
“Progressive credibility” goes after all lawbreakers and does not discriminate. The kind of mentality that seeks to discriminate — GOP good, DEM bad or DEM bad, GOP good — is undemocratic. Distinctions such as the one you make here only harm the democratic process. GOPers on the ethics committee should go after opposite-party Reid to the full extent that he is culpable. Why aren’t they? Can you answer that question? I doubt it.
October 17th, 2006 at 6:40 pmOh, my God, I was a BS troop leader for about 8 years! If you guys have any concept of how many teenage boys I took on weekend campouts, you would crucify me. Seriously, we did have one gay assistant troop leader – he was sent packing on his second outing when he tried to get too friendly with a 13 year old.
October 17th, 2006 at 7:24 pmMemo to: WaltTheMan
I fear your experience with the Boy Scouts of America — and I do respect your service with them — gives you very little insight into the ongoings of Congressional partisanism as it relates to real moral values.
Do you know why Mark Foley wasn’t “sent packing” after it became known that “he tried to get too friendly” with an underage page? When you weigh real moral values (RMV) against immoral partisan advantage (IPA), for instance, Karl Rove and “swiftboating,” IPA whacks RMV — until the sun shines in. Then everybody “gets religion” and all bets are off.
