Paging Mr. Reynolds
As the smut thickens in the Mark Foley e-harassment scandal, New York's Tom Reynolds, chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee and representative of the 26th District, has been dragged into the drama. Reynolds knew of the Foley e-mails last spring and not only did nothing to expose his series-of-tubes abusing buddy but also accepted a $100,000 donation Foley made to the NRCC in July. That money is, at best, "overfriendly."
Local lefty blogger Daily Gotham wonders if the cover-up is ready to "explode, right in Tom Reynolds' face." Not the Faso-esque metaphor we'd choose, but descriptive nonetheless.
