WASHINGTON -- A Democratic candidate accuses her Republican rival of not doing enough to stop disgraced former Rep. Mark Foley and his cybersex exchanges with teenage males in an advertisement for Christian radio stations.

Democrat Mary Jo Kilroy is challenging seven-term Rep. Deborah Pryce of Ohio, a member of the GOP House leadership, in one of the more competitive races. Kilroy's weeklong ads begin Saturday.

"What is going on in Washington? ... Deborah Pryce's friend Mark Foley is caught using his position to take advantage of 16-year-old pages," says the ad, which will air on Christian and Clear Channel Communications Inc. stations in central Ohio.

Foley, then a Florida congressman, helped Pryce get elected House Republican Conference secretary, then its chairman, the No. 4 position in the House leadership. Last month, in Columbus Monthly magazine, Pryce named Foley one of her five friends in Congress.

2. I'm simply shocked...

that Christian/Clear Channel (they're both just about the same thing) radio agreed to air the ad in the first place!

They must have realized that a press release by Kilroy's campaign letting voters in the district know they refused to air the ad wouldn't have been good for business...

5. The ad was "anti-sin"

which still trumps anti-Republican.

I'm running out of popcorn; this is getting good!
