Allah links to word of another potential page scandal emerging. But there's already some history that might be worth exploring, especially as it's possible nothing could be proven or debunked before election day. The Congressman allegedly involved is running against a Kossack, of sorts, who, just for kicks, also happens to be ex-CIA - the out of fashion Russian variety. I wonder just how bad he wants the job?
The kossacks have targeted the seat as far back as Sept. 2005.
The congressman is Jerry Weller, first elected in 1994. He took 64% in 2002, but only 59% in 2004. With the right candidate, Weller can be defeated.
Below is from two weeks ago at DailyKos.
My current congressman, Jerry Weller, is widely rumored to be gay, and there are even uglier rumors concerning the ending of his first marriage and his step son. Weller was pictured with Foley in many of the news articles. Their pic was on the frontpage of the Drudge Report yesterday. The pic from 2003 when Foley was deny he was gay. Weller was right next to him lending him support.
John Pavich is hitting Weller hard in the local press demanding Weller to answer what he knew and when he knew it. Weller is the deputy majority whip in the house and a member of the now infamous Illinois republican congressional delegation that includes Hastert and Shimkus.

"My current congressman, Jerry Weller, is widely rumored to be gay, and there are even uglier rumors concerning the ending of his first marriage and his step son." Kankakee.
"rumored to be gay, and there are even UGLIER rumors". so, according to kankakee, being gay or rumored to being gay is ugly.
