Excerpt from an article titled How to Date a Congressman, by Sallie Motsch as she skims through social encounters with several eligible bachelors from the Newt Gingrich Contract w/ America class including, of course, Mark Foley.

Ooh la la . This congressman is a blast of exuberance. Tall and solid with sparkling blue eyes and subtly coiffed hair, his wire-framed glasses lend authority to his round face. Impeccably tailored in a Prince Charles plaid Joseph Abbound suit and a French blue shirt, he's got a real Palm Beach polish, although his district skirts that elite community....Foley, 40, has been a Florida politician since he was 23. State and local governments were steppingstones to his childhood dream of a congressional seat. Half Polish, half Irish, he grew up in West Palm Beach in a close-knit family. He points to a young dishwasher behind the bar, unloading glasses. "I've done that. And I've been a waiter and an owner," Foley says, referring to a former restaurant venture.

Beep-beep-beep-beep-beep. ....15 minutes to record their vote . . .Twenty minutes later, he's back, breathless. Once again, the sprint-for-the-vote leads to the issue of footwear. "I love these Allen-Edmonds," Foley says. He also loves clothes, confessing a passion for Bill Robinson and Neiman Marcus shirts: "American-made."

We polish off our Merlot.

Another? He hesitates, I insist, he agrees.

Foley's Palm Beach politicking has given him some pretty heady contacts. It's no wonder that he needs to keep one tuxedo in Washington and another in Florida.....

shouldn't the Prince Charles plaid Joseph Abbound suit and a French blue shirt and the Merlot have been a clue?

:rofl:

Just kidding (my very hetero hubby drinks Merlot).

:hi: Good find!

she's a wicked wag, or she is clueless beyond belief!! Other amusing quotes:

Not only is this fellow connected, but judging from his easy manner and relaxed laughter, he's happy.

Happy, eh? Or was she going for a synonym? But he's waving a beard frantically:

"I was at the party for the opening of Mar-a-Lago," Foley continues, launching into another story. "Miss Germany was my date and . . ."

"Miss Germany?" I interrupt. I'm wondering about this trend of freshmen congressmen and German women.

"Yes, Miss Germany," he continues, "and Donald Trump rushes over to me and asks if there's anything I can do about his air space," Foley says, waving his hands over his head, mimicking The Donald imitating flight patterns. "He said the air traffic over Mar-a-Lago was terrible, and he wanted to know if I could change it."

Foley clearly is on the move, and not just because of his social contacts....."Where do you live?"

"The Watergate."

It wasn't running to get there.

and is probably spot-on.

and it went off loudly when I first saw Foley on TV.


This ability has saved me many embarrassing public moments.

I can teach it to you too for only 19.95 + shipping and handling.
