Republican Reaction To Foley Scandal

With their party rocked by the Rep. Mark Foley sexual-harassment scandal, Republicans are using the following strategies to overcome the bad press:

• Launching ad campaign entitled "Okay, We Goofed"
• Releasing new, sexually explicit electronic messages that are more rooted in family values
• Coming out against terrorism
• Hiring new pages from pool of senior citizens desperate for work
• Getting out and raising a little money together
• Revealing how devastatingly handsome the teenage boy was
• Only getting involved in scandals that don't directly fly in face of party line
