One of Josh Marshall’s readers dug up this quote from the St. Petersburg Times:
“It’s vile. It’s more sad than anything else, to see someone with such potential throw it all down the drain because of a sexual addiction.”
–Rep. Mark Foley (R-FL), commenting on President Clinton, following release of the Starr Report, September 12, 1998.
On another note – I picked up a copy of Bob Woodward’s new book and am going through it as fast as I can, given that it’s 491 pages long. I’m about 100 pages into it, and I’ll say this much: it will not be on any GOP recommended reading lists during the next 5 weeks before Election Day.
I’ll have more on Foley and Woodward soon.
