Nice misrepresentation Sangha. That said, it was a poor choice of words used in he Article.

After Foley resigned from the House in 2006, he entered treatment for alcoholism, and all but disappeared from politics. He recently began hosting a radio show in Palm Beach, and according to the Palm Beach Post, recently appeared at an event with newly-elected congressman Allen West (R-FL).

I think He should stay retired from Politics.

You have an interesting way of distorting, and an interesting sense of humor. Lets try to keep this Thread out of the Romper Room.

Still trying to malign the guy? The fact that he retired from office isn't enough?

Not sure why the YR would want him to talk to them. He's hardly a good example of what should happen in politics.

I've touched your children... and they've touched me.

I also continue to malign Pol Pot, Lenin, and Mao. They're also retired. That must really piss you off

Oh wait!! It doesn't. You don't really care that Reagan is "retired". You're just upset that someone is criticizing your idol. You're just not honest enough to admit it, so you try to dress your complaint up as an objection based on propriety, when all you care about is your patron saint of negotiating with and arming terrorists, Ronnie Reagan.

Not really sure what Reagan has to do with anything. However, while I admire the work he did for our country as President, I in no wise idolize the man. The man had as many faults as anyone else. It's the principles that mattered.
