HOW TO AVOID REPUBLICAN EMBARRASSMENT?

So a 52 year-old Republican Congressman has embarrassed the "family values" party with his lurid behavior. How should conservative "Fox News" deal with this?

How about simply identifying the shamed Congressman as a Democrat?
That's right, according to Crooks and Liars:
The O'Reilly Factor ran it in not one, but two segments and posted it three times. I can understand if FOX and The Factor made an error the first time, but to post it repeatedly should be a firing offense, The most watched show on FOX News has now labeled the former Republican Congressman Mark Foley, who is in the middle of a sexual predator scandal that has Hastert's career on the ropes —a Democrat.
Add that to the Republican talking points... and you've got some full-on "spinning" going on in the "No Spin Zone".

UPDATE: HERE'S THE VIDEO FROM YOUTUBE. FOLEY IS SHOWN AS A DEMOCRAT TWO TIMES, AT THE :56 AND 2:38 MARKS.


AN "UPDATE" TO THE UPDATE: DENNIS HASTERT IS A DEMOCRAT TOO!
Thanks to Crooks and Liars.

Couple of more years and they'll start saying Bush was a Democrat.
