Below I suggested (via Hilzoy) that Mark Foley Chief of Staff turned Tom Reynolds Chief of Staff turned Mark Foley Harvey Keitel figure Kirk Fordham must have gotten permission from his current employer before freelancing on behalf of his former employer. The NRCC chair’s chief of staff went scandalously AWOL in the middle of a fierce battle for his majority’s survival? Come on.
Via Aravosis and hot off one of the most embarrassing press conferences in modern history, Reynolds claims (video link) that Fordham went AWOL.
So now the buck is in Fordham’s lap. What do you think will be his story?

I think I’m going to enjoy watching all of this on The Daily Show tonight… why waste time coming up with gags when you can just run video of Congressmen self-destructing…

That media accounts of the whole affair are hasty, biased, and inaccurate; that he had no idea of what was happening since it was not his job, anyway; that these things should not take up the peoples’ time when issues of national security are at stake, and that, in any case he was home with his family when all this was happening; and that what Bill Clinton did was worse, so why are all these biased reporters picking on him?
Or words to that effect.

“Let’s concentrate on the REAL issue – how did you find out about this buck in my lap? What did Sloan/Soros/ABC know, and when did they know it? Barney Frank is gay. No more questions, please.”

Hmmmm…again someone’s trying to minimize the extent of the situation. It was a “twenty dollar bill” and it wasn’t put in his lap! They can attempt to spin it any way they want…it’ll only get WORSE.

Throughout all this, I keep hearing background music…”Pop goes the Weasel”…fits so many aspects of and so many people in this entire mess.
