...recent exposure of former Rep. Mark A. Foley (R-Fla.) sending sexually explicit correspondence to young Congressional pages immediately comes to mind. Foley wasn’t just any politician; he was a member of the anti-child pornography vanguard in the House, serving as former co-chair of the House Caucus on Missing and Exploited Children. He also introduced a bill in 2002 to protect children from exploitive child modeling, wrote letters to officials in Florida in 2003 asking for review of teenager programs at a nudist resort, and made sex offender laws more severe this year by helping...

Not once in the past 12 months has she reached across the aisle or offered any sort of bipartisan cooperation. In fact, one Member of Congress told me House Democrats have strict orders not to cooperate or even talk to their Republican counterparts until Election Day. At the very moment when the public most craves serious solutions to serious problems, the Democrats' "together, we can do better" message responds with the worst form of sloganeering.
