The Road of Bones

Say it ain't so, Doc!

Republican Congressman Jim Kolbe of Arizona is being investigated regarding a fishing/camping/rafting trip he took in 1996 with two male pages. NBC reports ...

NBC News interviewed several people who were on the trip, and their accounts vary. One participant, who requested anonymity, said he was uncomfortable with the attention Kolbe paid to one of the former pages. He was "creeped out by it," he said, adding that there was a lot of "fawning, petting and touching" on the teenager's arms, shoulders and back by Kolbe.

The Representative maintains he did nothing wrong. The investigation is ongoing, but the battle for opinion has already been won.
