From today's page one story in the Times, "Former Pages Describe Foley as Caring Ally." (Foley, of course, is Mark Foley, the Republican congressman who resigned last week because of his inappropriate level of interest in male pages.)

"Ashley Gallo, a 21-year-old former page who is now a senior at Western Michigan University, said on Sunday that many of her friends had viewed Mr. Foley as one of the few lawmakers who made a real effort to reach out to young people. "

Um, isn't that why he had to resign?

Then there's this:

"Secretary of state Condoleeza Rice said it was 'incomprehensible' that she could have ignored dire terrorist threats two months before 9/11."

Exactly Condi. That's what we've all been saying for the past 5 years. Absolutely freaking incomprehensible.
