DNC Says Foley Tragedy Could’ve Been Avoided
The Democratic National Committee issued a statement alleging that the scandal surrounding Rep Mark Foley (R-Fla) demonstrates a “lack of leadership” in the Republican Party.
“You didn’t see people resigning in disgrace for these kinds of scandals when the Democratic Party was in the majority,” Howard Dean, Chairman of the DNC, said. “We kept things under control.”
The statement went on to list people who were able to avoid resigning in disgrace when Democrats held the majority: Rep. Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass), Rep Gerry Studds (D-Mass), Rep. Jim Bates (D-Calif), Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-Mass), and Pres. Bill Clinton (D-Ark).
“The careers of these fine men were protected so they could continue their important work in government,” said Dean. “The record clearly shows that it is the Republicans who are so corrupt they have to resign.”
The statement went on to urge voters to vote Democrat “to put an end to the Republican culture of corruption.”
