Foley in a Capsule

Just a brief though on the Mark Foley scandal.

This is deadly for the House Republicans because it's simple and non-political people will GET it: They had a pedophile in their midst and they covered for him. No national security spin, no ends justify the means arguments to make, no complicated details to sort.

Paul Begala concurs:

"Most normal people, even political people, react to this like moms and dads. I’m a dad. Somebody sends an email like that to my kid, they are going to deal with the law firm of Smith & Wesson, OK? It ain’t going to go to no Page Board."


And the hypocritical archived quotes are just frosting on the cake.

This could swing a few marginal districts...
