Retiring, and gay, Arizona Rep Jim Kolbe has clarified his position on when he learned of issues with Foley and Pages, and what he did at the time. And as I suspected yesterday, Kolbe did notify Jeff Trandahl, House Clerk, and Foley’s office (that would likely include Kirk Fordham). Given the fact that Trandahl and Fordham are, we believe, also gay it is not unreasonable to think these two attempted to deal with Rep Foley without bringing the event to Hastert and his leadership. Remember that the Republicans are tolerant, but not enthusiastically supportive of same sex relationsips. We can all see that in their support for civil unions but not gay marriages.
So the ‘cover up’ of Foley’s problems may simply be within the gay community of staff and representatives on the Hill – not House leadership per say, since Trandahl is considered part of the leadership. Now we can look at who tried to hide the information from authorities and the real House leadership for more than a year when the story of the LA Page was leaked in Oct-Nov of last year.
As for those who hid Foley’s problems from the House leadership problem, Hastert is making the future clear to them:
“However, you know, in 20/20 hindsight, probably you could do everything a little bit better,†he said. “But if there was a problem, if there was a cover-up, then we should find that out through the investigation process. They’ll be under oath and we’ll find out.
“If they did cover something up, then they should not have their jobs,†he said.
Now, if the Democrats make the same pledge we can finish up Foleygate and get on with our elections.
from StrataSphere
Rep Jim Kolbe has implicated (as I predicted) House Clerk Jeff Trandahlm and Foley Chief Of Staff Kirk Fordham of not alerting Hastert and the broader house leadership regarding issues with Foley in 2000-2001.
In addition, it is now established a Democrat operative – male – was shopping the Foley and LA Page story from November 2005 through July 2006 – but apparently never once contacted law enforcement or house leaders to the pending problem with Foley.
The blogosphere will have to do the heavy lifting in getting the facts out on this story, and undoing the damage done by the democrat partisans who hid this story from our government while shopping it around to the media.

For cornerback Josh Wilson, the best part about joining the Baltimore Ravens had nothing to do with the team's playoff potential or the proximity to his alma mater, the University of Maryland.

Reason for concerns: AFC North (SportingNews.com)
A capsule look at reasons for concern among teams in the AFC North: Baltimore Ravens 1. An offensive line in flux. There is no timeframe when RT Jared Gaither will return from a back injury. The top backup, Oniel Cousins, has missed substantial practice time with a concussion and was inconsistent when healthy. The coaches probably will move RG Marshal Yanda to tackle and insert backup C Chris Chester at right guard. That leaves this unit with little depth.
Ravens Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)
Expectations have only been raised for the Baltimore Ravens this preseason.
Quarterback Joe Flacco has had a strong preseason, completing 61 percent of his passes and throwing three touchdowns (a rating of 90.9).
Baltimore's starting defense didn't allow a touchdown in three preseason games.
"Anything less than a Super Bowl win, really, is a disappointment to us," wide receiver Derrick Mason said.
"I think we've done more than enough over the last three years to put ourselves in a position to win a championship. To do all we've done and not come out of this thing with a championship would be disheartening." Most of the excitement has been generated by the Ravens offense. The Ravens bolstered themselves at wide receiver by trading for Anquan...

While Ben Roethlisberger is out, the Pittsburgh Steelers need to keep the wheels on. Although they will be down an important man, a strong, physical team effort can keep them from spinning in reverse. Here are four things they must do to stay on track into mid-October, regardless of who replaces Roethlisberger: Pound the ball For the first time since Jerome Bettis and Bill Cowher left, the Steelers have a reliable power back. "Rashard Mendenhall will absolutely be key for them early," Cowher said.

The final night of exhibition games was replete with the NFL's notable rookie quarterbacks: Sam Bradford, St. Louis Rams It will be surprising if the Rams don't start the season with the first overall pick as their starting quarterback. Bradford strengthened his case to be the No. 1 in Week 1 with another strong performance at home, going 6-for-6 on a touchdown drive in his only series against the Baltimore Ravens. Colt McCoy, Cleveland Browns Perhaps buoyed by assurances he would make the Browns' 53-man roster, McCoy shook off three shaky stints...
Steelers, Ben Roethlisberger await suspension decision (SportingNews.com)
Pittsburgh Steelers fans have seen the last of Ben Roethlisberger for a while. The question of how long -- six games, four games, or three -- will be answered by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, perhaps as soon as today. The spotlight now is on Roethlisberger's replacement. While coach Mike Tomlin was expected to name seventh-year veteran Byron Leftwich as the stand-in during Roethlisberger's suspension, that plan likely will have to be scrapped.
