From that description, it was Fordham, Foley’s former aide and, until his resignation (or firing…it’s still kind of up in the air which) yesterday, Tom Reynolds’ current aide.
How about a parasitic worm-the GOP is unevolved and all…
And I love how it’s always the damned aides that fall on swords. Who’d be an aide?
Sorry, I really don’t see much Kudzu here, especially as compared to places like Georgia. Now we could use water hyacinths as a symbol.
The “Cute and Fluffy Australian Bunny Rabbit Party” approach will probably backfire.
Zebra mussels just aren’t sexy enough.
The invasion of the Pacific Northwest by Californians is too local.
Keep the ideas coming, though. There’s got to be mileage here someplace.
The Africanized Honeybee Party (maybe too WASPish)
The Necrotizing Fasciitis Party
No, no–the honeybee one is good. So is the Mexican Killer Bee Party.
But my vote goes to the Nec Fasc party. Brilliant!
The way things are going, “Republican” might be just fine.
Newest twist: Limbaugh blames pages for encouraging Foley. :rolleyes:
Certainly puts a new spin on the old “Prince Albert in the can” prank, don’t it? 
In message replies to that link above, posters say that the “page” who sent the IM messages says it was a prank. Where can I read about this?
That claim appears to have originated with Drudge, it seems from this MPSIMS thread.
It was on Drudge.
I haven’t found the link, but FWIW I have seen a quote from the page’s lawyer saying it was not a prank.
Even if you were to believe the claim that the pages were playing a prank on Foley (and there’s no good reason to believe it, I think), notice what Limbaugh is admitting to. He’s admitting that, as a teenager, he committed a crime which, had he been caught, would at best have caused the police chief to haul him and his parents to the police station, where he would have been lectured and the parents would have been told they had to pay for the cost of transporting the refrigerator. And that’s at best. At worst, it would have gotten a teenager a juvenile record if his parents weren’t friends with the police chief. But Limbaugh considers this crime to be at the same level as one young child calling another names.
So it’s O.K. that he committed a crime as a teenager that would have gotten other teenagers a juvenile record. It’s O.K. that he illegally obtained prescription drugs as an adult. It’s O.K. that he’s been divorced three times now, which would have caused other people to be labeled as “anti-family-values.” Do any rules apply to Limbaugh?
“Do as I say, not as I do.”
Are there any fans of Rush Limbaugh on this board who can tell me how you can still consider him a defender of conservative values, now that it’s obvious that he thinks the rules don’t apply to him? Please, no snide, joking replies from people who dislike Limbaugh. If I wanted to hear a snide joke about Limbaugh, I can make one up myself. I just want to hear from anybody whatsoever who still thinks that Limbaugh is an honest defender of conservative values.
Limbaugh made the cover of Time this week.
That enough of an answer for you, Wendell ? 
I don’t think you’ll find many of them in the BBQ Pit. Like Rush himself, his fans are good at dishing it out, but lousy at taking it.
I’ll try, even though I’m not that much of a fan of Limbaugh. I do think he has one of the better political talk-radio shows out there, and he’s more entertaining than most of them… I don’t really understand your question, though. He is a defender of conservative values. The fact that he might not always practice them isn’t relevant.
