Thank the lord, for George Nethercutt. In 1994, Congressman Foley -- Tom Foley -- and Democratic Speaker of the House lost his re-election fight. If he hadn't, there could quite possibly be 2 "Congressman Foleys" in Washington DC, and well, there might be some confusion when you read these headlines about "Congressman Foley":
US congressman Foley: A modern day online Jekyll and Hyde?
Disgraced Congressman Foley was a Moderate "Pro-Choice" and "Pro-Gay Rights" Republican
Local Party Representatives React To Congressman Foley's Resignation
Disgraced Ex-Congressman Foley Caught Logging Online Tuesday While Supposedly in Alcohol Rehab
...and there's plenty more.
So, the lesson: Be careful with your name. So says, Ambassador Tom Foley. (The former congressman who was run out of town by the voters and not a bunch of pissed off male pages...) You wouldn't want to get caught up in that one!
