Foley’s Tomfoolery.

Politics (2005-2006)

The GOP’s annus horribilis continues: Another once-safe House seat comes into play as Florida Republican Mark Foley abruptly resigns in the wake of a growing scandal involving inappropriate (or “sick sick sick“) e-mails sent to a 16-year-old page. “Hours earlier, ABC News had read excerpts of instant messages provided by former male pages who said the congressman, under the AOL Instant Messenger screen name Maf54, made repeated references to sexual organs and acts.” Foley, it pains me to say, was the co-chair of the Congressional Caucus on Missing and Exploited Children.

You mean MARK Foley.

I know it doesn’t work quite so well with the “tomfoolery” zinger, but I don’t think that’s a good enough reason to debase former Democratic Speaker of the House Tom Foley’s good name.

D’oh! You’re right…big mistake on my part. I got my wires crossed there somewhere, sorry. (It’s fixed now.)
