Foley's e-mail to governor voices fear White House snubbed him

TALLAHASSEE — E-mails from former U.S. Rep. Mark Foley to Gov. Jeb Bush reveal that Foley feared two years ago the White House was shunning him, and he called on the governor, President Bush's brother, to intercede.

Foley wrote to Gov. Bush on Sept. 29, 2004: "Have I done something to offend the White House ... I am always getting the shaft ... they came to ft pierce a few weeks ago and said I was not allowed to attend ... yet joe negron is there ...

"Tomorrow Potus is in Martin County and I am told I am not allowed to be there either. I can't quite figure what I have done but this is a continuing pattern of slights ... I have constantly put the President in the best possible light on everything from haiti to hurricanes ... sorry to trouble you ... and I wouldn't if this wasn't so frequent ..."

POTUS is an acronym for president of the United States. Foley's message referred to President Bush's visits to Florida in the aftermath of Hurricane Jeanne.

Bush responded that day: "I will try to help. I know it is nothing you have done. Promise. I think it relates to debate prep time. Jeb."

1. Because "they" knew about Foley's actions?

Wow, hard to prove but if the White House knew about
Foley and yet did nothing to stop him ..... bush falls from
33% to 15%.

2. Well something is up

When I lived in Palm Beach County, Foley was always there with Bush when he came to town. Foley was always doing Bush's bidding for him.

So for the Whitehouse to not allow him to attend functions and appearances seems like the administration wanted to put distance between themselves and Foley.

Now the question is why?

3. Hell yes Bush knew! But he didn't out him, they ignored him and

allowed him to sexually stalk children for two more years.

6. This Was Taken In 2004

Ya think that might have been the reason? Maybe Foley invited booshie boy for a measuring contest.
