Kirk Fordham Will Testify On Mark Foley

According to ABC News, Kirk Fordham will testify to the House ethics panel that he was told by Jeff Trandahl that Foley attempted to enter the page dorm. Foley was severely drunk during the incident. Fordham and Trandahl proceeded to warn Hastert's office about Foley. Fordham will testify that he spoke to Hastert's Chief of Staff Scott Palmer.

"What Kirk Fordham said did not happen," said Palmer.

The question is will Palmer make the same statement under oath. That will be interesting to see.

Ginny Brown-Waite (R) states that she heard about Foley's dormitory from eyewitnesses.

In other news.


Arizona Rep. Jim Kolbe said Tuesday he told the House official in charge of the page program as early as 2001 about Rep. Mark Foley's "creepy" e-mail to a former page.

Kolbe, the only openly gay Republican in Congress, said a former page he had sponsored contacted his office to complain of e-mails from Foley and that he "passed along" the complaint to Foley, R-Fla., and then-House Clerk Jeff Trandahl. Kolbe said he did not take the matter to other lawmakers.


Both Fordhan and Kolbe told Jeff Trandahl. Kolbe in 2001 and Fordham in 2003. Why did Trandahl sit on this. If Congress wasn't going to do anything then publicly blow the whistle for the sake of the kids.
