<snip>Congressional candidate David McSweeney, who is trying to unseat Democrat Melissa Bean, said he talked about the Foley scandal at a fundraiser and rally he had with Giuliani and popular former GOP Gov. Jim Edgar in the Chicago suburbs.

"If he were not a member of Congress, he would be arrested by now," McSweeney said of Foley in a telephone interview.

Lahood said it won't be easy for Republicans like himself to cut through the scandal and get to the party's message as the midterm election approaches.

"You have to talk about this and then the message. You have to talk about both," he said.

2. But I think the same thing applied to
McKinney and Kennedy. Just to be fair and balanced.

7. No but if I hit a cop or drove under the influence
I would be arrested. Granted in Kennedy's case, the police didn't take the proper steps when someone crashes their car so you can't blame Kennedy for that.

I'm just saying let's be fair now.

I think in McKinney's case, the Capitol police should've known who she was, new hair cut and all but if anyone else hit a cop they would be arrested and that's just the plain truth of it.
