"A Republican congressman knew of disgraced former representative Mark
Foley's inappropriate Internet exchanges as far back as 2000 and
personally
confronted Foley about his communications," the Wa****ngton Post re****ts:
A spokeswoman for Rep. Jim Kolbe (R-Ariz.) confirmed
yesterday that a former page showed the congressman
Internet messages that had made the youth feel
uncomfortable with the direction Foley (R-Fla.)
was taking their e-mail relation****p...
A source with direct knowledge of Kolbe's involvement
said the messages shared with Kolbe were ***ually
explicit, and he read the contents to The Wa****ngton
Post under the condition that they not be reprinted.
But [Kolbe press secretary Korenna] Cline denied the
source's characterization, saying only that the
messages had made the former page feel uncomfortable.
Nevertheless, she said, "corrective action" was
taken. Cline said she has not yet determined whether
that action went beyond Kolbe's confrontation with Foley.
Kolbe is gay, the only GOP House member to have publicly acknowledged
homo***uality. And the revelation got us to thinking: We hear a lot about
"homophobia," or fear of homo***uality, but if Foley's fellow Republicans
failed to be alarmed by his "overly friendly" emails, maybe it was because
of something more like homo-obliviousness. Most people just don't think
that much about homo***uality.
When we first read those emails, we found them odd and a bit creepy. But
it
occurs to us that if a 50-year-old man sent a 16-year-old girl an email
asking her to send a picture of herself, that would have set off loud
alarm
bells and brightly fla****ng lights. We know how the mind of a hetero***ual
man works, being in possession of one, and when a guy asks a gal he barely
knows for a picture, it means that he has a ***ual or romantic interest in
her.
When a guy asks another guy for a picture, what does it mean? When we stop
to think about it, probably the same thing, but it wasn't obvious to us
because it simply isn't part of our experience. We suspect the same was
true of Hastert and other House leaders. Kolbe, on the other hand, because
he is gay, probably understood better what Foley was up to and that it
wasn't good.

It is simply breathtaking to watch the glee and abandon with which the
liberal media and the Angry Left have been attempting to turn our military
victory in Iraq into a second Vietnam quagmire. Too bad for them, it's
failing.
