Kolbe knew Foley was talking to pages about his penis size and thought an apology would end it.

That's got to inspire pride for those on the GOP size.

Cover up.

That's the problem with assigning everyone to groups and subgroups.

Not in the least. I was flabbergasted to hear that Jefferson was re-elected.
