When all else fails...

What do the Republicans do when a member of their party goes down in screaming flames? Why they lie about it of course.

I gotta hand it to them, though: Fox news really has honed deception to a fine art. On the one hand, the lie preserved plausible deniability that it was just an honest mistake (although it's quite a coincidence that the one time they make this particular mistake it works to their advantage) and on the other hand it was likely very effective. There is no doubt in my mind that there are now tens of thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands of people in the country who think Mark Foley is a democrat. (Hey, if you believe the earth was created in six days you can believe anything.)

But aside from having no respect for the truth (or the Constitution) I'm sure the Republicans are all honorable men.
