At times, Foley seemed to speak suggestively to boys before they left the program. A female former page remembers becoming uneasy one day in 2000 as she watched him talk "a little too much" on the House floor to a boy she knew. Right afterward, she asked what Foley had said. The boy, she recalled, told her Foley had admired the page's "very big hands" and boasted about his "glorious" home in Florida. The boy added: "Eighteen. Eighteen's that magic number." The girl was appalled at what seemed to her to be a come-on that the boy did not fully understand.
Ha ha! Even
Lonelygurl15 could have caught that one in either one of her 'lives' the
MySpace fantasy of homeschooled 'homegirl' or the socially estranged young woman from New Zealand..
Many bloggers and probably sane people too have taken last week's report that the Capital Police did not have a record on Foley attempting to enter the page dorm to mean that such an event never took place. That's not what the Capital officers said. They said that "if a crime had been committed then they would have recorded it, but not otherwise" (paraphrase). For a House member to simply attempt or maybe even to get into the Page House was not a crime, therefore there would be no police report. That does not mean that Foley didn't try to get into the dorm.
And besides remember the case of Representative Kennedy and read linked WP report. The CP and other Washington entities do everything they can to keep from embarassing Congressionals. Like the Pages note, these are powerful people!
