Republican U.S. Rep. Mark Foley, of West Palm Beach, traveled down from his district to provide the day's only fireworks. He challenged whether the ballots should be available under Florida's open records laws, and said the media's work would only serve to "undermine the legitimacy of the presidency."

"Mr. (Al) Gore conceded," Foley said. "That should have been the end of it. We could reopen the Warren Commission, too, but I don't think we would learn anything new about the assassination of John Kennedy."

Foley said the ballots are "not really a public record." In defense of his claim, he argued that the ballots are anonymous and therefore should be excluded from the state's open records laws. But a Leon County judge ruled otherwise last Friday in answer to open records requests from 11 news organizations.

Due to sending something to a 16-year old girl page that works for him...that apparently was inappropriate.

3. Will There Ever Be Justice?

Can a guy like this be brought down and disgraced so thoroughly that he has no reason to go on?

I realize it's not right and not DU protocol, to wish harm on another person. But if he goes down in flames, I'll be the first one on the scene with some kerosene.
