NYT article on Foley's "caring" unintentionally reads like "The Onion"

[KurtNYC]

6 years into the up-is-down, through-the-rabbithole atmosphere that is now the USA, the MSM is swimming in their own spin, unable to know which scandals to soft-peddle and what the public will and won't buy. In an article which attempts to seriously portray Foley as a "caring ally" to pages, the writer includes these unintentional gems:

In the hierarchy of Congress, the high school students who serve as Congressional pages fall somewhere near the bottom, seemingly invisible as they scurry through the hallways of the Capitol ferrying messages to powerful lawmakers who often fail to give them a second glance.

(...but Foley)took pains to befriend the 16- and 17-year-old aides, several former pages said in interviews on Sunday. He chatted with them on the House floor, they said, sent handwritten notes and urged them to keep in touch when they left Washington for their hometowns.
...

...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.

2. Yes, it does!

“He would say, ‘Here’s my e-mail address if you want to keep in touch."

4. So many unintentional double entendres in there.

"...pages fall somewhere near the bottom..." "...urged them to keep in touch..." "...reach out to young people..." :rofl:
