Feds Probe Trip That Republican Congressman Jim Kolbe Made With Pages |
E-Gad!
Can we just take all of this stuff -- 'State Of Denial', 'Tempting
Faith', Foley, Kolbe, Hastert, Iraqi death count, Bob Ney, Abramoff,
Rove's assistent, Tom Delay, N. Korea, and all the other scandal's and
catastrophic miscalculations and roll them up into a single thing
called 'Republi-gate' or maybe something catchier?
How can one Administration along with it's party's complete control of
the legislative branch screw so many things up??
They planned on no one ever finding out.
Have a great weekend -- hope you didn't get dumped on with the 2 feet
of snow!
Cheers!

Feds probe trip that Kolbe made with pages
NBC exclusive: Congressman alleged to have been inappropriate in '96

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.
A spokesman for the Justice Department in Washington said that the U.S.
attorney in Arizona has started a "preliminary assessment" of the trip,
after an unidentified source made allegations about the congressman's
behavior on the expedition.
"The U.S. attorney is looking into allegations about the congressman
taking a trip with the two pages," the spokesman said.
As NBC News first reported, Kolbe took a tour down the Grand Canyon in
July 1996 with a group that included two 17-year-old males who had
recently left the congressional page program.

The "allegations" included Kolbe touching the arm and back of one of the
former pages. Sounds like what you'd expect a boy scout troop leader to do
with the kids out on a camping trip to me. The "behavior" sounded like
the kind of touching that coaches do with their players on high school and
college teams.
