Foley Forum

I wonder. Who's side are these Republicans on anyhow? I mean, Katrina was great for the colored, the middle east gets the muslums, 9-11 gets the jews, but heck! If they can't get the Gays out of their own party! How should we expect them to find Bin-Laden? It's time to get that Pedophile Ring Out before they ruin the elections.

Shimkus mentionned the bye-bye speeches. Text of these is in the Congressional Record available through the GPO online:

Foley (despite never being on the page board) was a frequent speaker and Shimkus even introduced him with words that indicated Shimkus was aware of the excessive amount of time and interest Foley spent with the pages. This was from his first year as Chair - why was Kolbe removed? One year, Foley even talked about hair color, hair gels, and earrings. Foley seems to be the only House member who was not a page as a teen or on the board who was a regualr contributor at this event. I think some others speak on rare instances since there was a kid from their area or just to give an acknowledgement or get some PR.
