Missed connections

Salon continues its maddeningly weird political coverage today with the totally irrelevant revelation that now-disgraced Rep. Mark Foley gave campaign contributions to three other members of Congress -- and all three are Republicans who are vulnerable this year.

So fucking what?? It's not that Foley had to resign over financial misdeeds -- he resigned because he was discovered coming on to under-age teen boys. That George Allen and Bob Ney got money from Foley is utterly irrelevant.

I want the Republicans to lose as badly as anyone at Salon does, but I don't think they're building their credibility this way.
