Rep. Foley Rocks Kerry's 'Sinking Ship'

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - Latest reason we admire Rep. Mark Foley, whose district we used to live in:

Foley, appearing this morning on "Fox & Friends," celebrated President Bush's re-election triumph and zinged this year's Sore Loserman ticket: "Well, Senator Kerry has bragged about his military record; he should be able to recognize a sinking ship."

Both of Ohio's senators have called on John Kerry to admit his defeat.

"There's no mathematical path to victory for Kerry in Ohio," Nicolle Devenish of the Bush-Cheney campaign said today.

Afternoon update: Foley saluted Kerry after the Massachusetts Democrat's concession.

"I want to thank Senator Kerry for his prompt concession in light of the President's insurmountable national and electoral victory," the congressman stated. "Having had a front-row seat to the chaos, litigation and turmoil in Florida four years ago, I am pleased to see that John Kerry has signaled to the nation that the campaign is over and it is now time to govern.

"Last night's results gave a definitive result and President Bush can move forward during these perilous times for our nation and work to strengthen our economic and homeland security."
