Man, I love the
Internet Archive. If you know what you're doing, you can find some really neat things on it...like a list of pedophile ex-Rep.
Mark Foley's 2002-2004 fundraisers that once appeared on the National Republican Congressional Committee website.
Of particular note to us here in MI-08:
October 2, 2002

(emphasis added)
It gets better. Read below the fold for more, including the rest of Foley's NRCC "engagements"...
See the funny thing is, only this morning, Rep. Rogers (being challenged by ex-CIA operative and Valerie Wilson schoolmate
Jim Marcinkowski)
had this to say to his local paper:
He said he knows Foley from their service as deputy whips, but didn't socialize with him and had no inkling of the hidden scandal.
(emphasis added)
Didn't socialize with him? Uh, Mike...you headlined a fundraiser with Foley...AT HIS HOUSE!!! (more on all of this - including a picture of Foley and Rogers hanging together can be found in my post at
michiganliberal.com
And then there's
this footage of Rogers and Foley strolling along side by side in the shadow of the White House - that keeps running over and over and over again on TV:
Inspired by my luck with Rep. Rogers, I decided to delve further into the archive to cull as many of Foley's "engagements" as I could find. Below is the list.
First, a technical note. This is not a complete listing. This is just what I was able to find in the Internet Archive. By digging around long enough, you can find all of these entries
here. Unfortunately, by the summer of 2004 the NRCC figured out how to keep their fundraising calendar out of the Archive cache. But there's a few good hits that might be useful to folks here...especially if your local congresscritter is on the list and has been trying to pretend they never knew this guy named Foley. Enjoy!
