The only chance the Democrats have of ever winning an election is by lying, cheating, vote fraud, and sleaze.

AMHERST, N.Y. (AP) - A former aide for disgraced Congressman Mark Foley has quit his job as chief of staff for the upstate lawmaker embroiled in the scandal that's rocking House Republicans.
Kirk Fordham has issued a statement saying he resigned today as chief of staff for Congressman Thomas Reynolds of Erie County. Fordham once served in the same position for Foley, a Florida Republican who resigned last week after it was revealed he sent salacious electronic messages to teenage male pages in Congress. After the scandal erupted, Fordham counseled Foley to resign.
Today, Fordham said he reached out to Foley as a longtime friend. Reynolds -- running for re-election in the 26th Congressional District -- is a member of the House G-O-P leadership who has struggled to avoid political damage in the scandal's fallout.
Fordham says he resigned today to prevent his own ties to Foley from being used by Democrats in the race for Reynolds' seat in Congress.

I hear you. I agree that it should be news of an earth-shattering note, but given the situation, this is going to be played up by Dems, and is happening in close proximity to the election. I'll also note that Reynolds is in a very tight re-election bid.

Can't be, if he was from Greece, he could't leave his brother's behind.

Thank you for updating the title. I did not know what could be posted by the Rochester D&C (a Gannett paper), so I erred on the side of extreme caution and paraphrased the title to the story.

Yes. In this case Greece is a town that is a suburb of Rochester, NY.

"...a life long Greece native."Wonder if he was also a life long Greece resident? Probably not.

I think Hastert is going to have some difficulties. Boehner jumped all over this. Probably bucking for a leadership position like Frist did with Lott.
Hastert just had no idea of the 'wall of anal pain' that lurked in the halls of congress.

That's a Gannette Snoozepaper to you. Their no-excerpt policy is ridiculous, in violation of the fair use provisions of copyright law, and doesn't make much sense, since websites like this can drive traffic to their newspaper. Instead, we mostly ignore Gannette Snoozepaper stories.
I won't click on their links unless their stories are compelling. This one, you can get elsewhere.

Yeah...we all know the Greek jokes.

I was wondering who would be the first to go down that road.
