The Cast of Characters Expands
From tomorrow's WaPo: Lawmaker Saw Foley Messages in 2000
Rep. Jim Kolbe (R-AZ) is the lawmaker in question. He is the only openly gay Republican in Congress and is retiring this cycle. His seat is looking like one of the Dems most assured pickups. It just got more so.
This can't help but fuel the "Velvet Mafia" meme. But it also reestablishes that Foley's behavior was not some surprising revelation that just struck Hastert and Co. a week ago Friday.
It's a self-immolation, and they just keep on dumping on the kerosene.
