Can someone explain this to me. . .
So Bill O'Reilley had this guy on his show named Tyson Vivyan, who claimed to be a former Congressional page who'd also had sexual advances made upon him by Congressman Foley.
Ms. Underestimated, has a link to the video, and lemme add that there are DEFINATELY more reasons to check out her site.
So I was curious about this Vivyan guy, and wanted to see if there were any articles out there with this guy's story.
I had meant to search Google news first, but by accident I just ran a straight Google search on him. Lo and behold. . .
Not a peep. Now that seems VERY VERY VERY strange to me. One would expect there to be at least SOME hits on someone who has done enough in their high school life to merit getting a slot as a page, and certainly SOME of that would be referenced somewhere on the web. Alas, no, it seems this Tyson fella just magically appeared all of the sudden.
Seriously, there should be at least SOMETHING out there with this guys name attached to it. Congressional pages usually have some meritorious service before they become a page, right? Debate Club, Athletics, School Paper, SOMETHING!
Now I'll admit that I also ran a Google News search for the kid, and there were a couple of references, but only to the O'Reilley spot. So what gives? Is this the first guy to be lucky enough to be the only American with absolutely NO REFERENCE to him throughout the world wide web.
Well, I guess there is at least ONE now.

PS - Before some leftard or Kos Kids descend upon me and try to paint me as a Foley apologist, lemme just make this perfectly clear. I think Foley acted inappropriately for a Congressman, very inappropriately. I'm glad he did the correct thing and resign immediately when this story popped up. I also feel that if it can be determined that he did in fact break the law, then he should go to jail, preferably under the jail, and not pass go, not collect a Congressional Pension.
Let me also say that this is looking like another RatherGate more and more. However that does NOT excuse Foley's abuse of his position with regard to Congressional pages. If he broke the law, throw the book at him, PERIOD. If he is vindicated of any legal wrongdoing, I still say it's good that he resigned, his actions were not befitting a Congressman.

UPDATE: From ZERO presence on the net via google to 42,000 plus and growing two days later. Nice PR campaign you created for yourself Tyson. Something tells me we'll be seeing more of Tyson in the future as he parlays this.

We were on to something. Are you hearing about the same thing I am today about this character? We knew it.... this guy's apparently a phony. Can you say "piling on?"
