Firing of Fordham Makes Things Look Worse For NRCC Chief Reynolds |
|
A quick point about the apparent firing of Kirk Fordham, the chief of staff to NRCC chief Tom Reynolds. ABC News says that Fordham's allies are defending him by saying that Fordham repeatedly warned Hastert's staff about Mark Foley's "problem" with pages. But paradoxically, this version of events actually makes it look even worse for Fordham's ex-boss -- that is, Reynolds.
Here's why: Reynolds' chief of staff, we're told, knew this was a huge problem -- huge enough for him to push Hastert's staff repeatedly. But Reynolds apparently did nothing more than mention it to Hastert. His own chief of staff knew Foley had this "problem," but Reynolds did little to nothing -- one conversation with Hastert, no apparent follow-up. Even worse, if Robert Novak is right, Reynolds even pushed Foley to run again. Bad, bad, bad.

1. Well it doesn't help that 2 mins after they dumped blame on Fordham |
|
Fordham then turned around and blasted back with both barrels and declared he'd sing to the FBI or whoever and wasn't going to fall on his sword if he was going to be, in addition, stabbed in the back.
Smooth move, Republicans.

2. All this blame and finger pointing within the rethug party......... |
|
keeps this story alive in the MSM and increases the probability that SEVERAL rethug congressman and their aids may be forced to resign. The RNC won't let this go on much longer; the whole corrupt party is in meltdown.
