Foley Turns Pages In Congressional History

[jedusor]

Sharai, after hearing that Rep. Foley said he was "deeply sorry" for letting down his family and voters: "He should feel sorry for letting down his pants!"

Bill's contributions to the humor of the incident (paraphrased from memory):

How are Foley and a vibrating cell phone similar?
They both get a buzz when a page comes.

What's the difference between Foley and Michael Jackson?
Michael Jackson can sing.

EDIT: I forgot two.

How is Foley similar to his page?
They both relinquished their seats.

How do we know Republicans are good readers?
They go right to the bottom of the page.



Now for something completely different, because polls are fun.

Mmm. I make a good price for petrol in the UK at the moment about $6.30 per US gallon.
