Dale Kildee

Rep. Dale Kildee is being a good Dem soldier.

He gave the lib media a couple of sentences to provide justification for them to keep the Mark Foley scandal on top of the news heap.

WASHINGTON -- Allegations of improper conduct toward teenage pages that are not connected to the case of ex-Rep. Mark Foley are under discussion by House overseers of the program, according to a Democratic lawmaker involved in the talks.

Rep. Dale Kildee of Michigan, the only Democrat on the House Page Board, would not say Monday whether the allegations involved Republicans or Democrats, lawmakers or staff members. He said nothing has been proven.

In his unexpected remarks, Kildee — who is unhappy Republicans did not tell him about Foley's improper approaches to male pages — said the page board discussed the new allegations in a conference call Monday.

"It was about other allegations and I'd like to leave it at that," he said. "Let me just say, not about Mr. Foley. It's only been allegations."

What a reckless, irresponsible thing for Kildee to say!

That's dirty politics.

I could say I've heard allegations that Kildee regularly views child porn and his charge card records show that he has purchased illicit materials.

Would that be valid and worthy of reporting such allegations?

Hey, they're just allegations.

...Kildee's remarks are potentially ominous because they carry the possibility that one or more other lawmakers behaved improperly with pages.

If any Republicans are involved, new allegations could further damage the majority party in Congress less than a month before the election. Polls already show the GOP has been damaged by the scandal involving Foley, R-Fla., who sent former male pages too-friendly e-mails and sexually explicit instant messages.

The lib media are in full drool mode.

While Kildee did not divulge details, it is known that federal prosecutors in Arizona have opened a preliminary investigation into an unspecified allegation related to a camping trip that Rep. Jim Kolbe, R-Ariz., took with two former pages and others in 1996. Kolbe, the only openly gay Republican in the House, has denied any wrongdoing.

No details, just rumors.

Kildee has obviously studied his Dem playbook, Leaking for Dummies.

Regarding Kolbe, the key words are "former pages."

Kildee spoke to reporters after testifying behind closed doors on the investigation of Foley, who resigned Sept. 29 after he was confronted with his sexually explicit instant messages.

Kildee would not say whether he told the ethics committee about the new allegations. The panel is only known to be investigating Foley's conduct and whether lawmakers and staff aides did enough to stop him.

Kildee would not say this.

Kildee would not say that.

So why are his very brief remarks a story?

Elementary, my dear reader.

The lib media, propaganda arm of the Democratic Party, are deeply invested in defeating Republicans in November.

Fair and balanced, Yeah, right.
