Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and the Democratic Party are trying to make political hay with the resignation of former Rep. Mark Foley from the House of Representatives.

The Senate Democratic Campaign Committee (SDCC), headed by Reid, sent an e-mail with the subject line "Heckuva Job!" to supporters Wednesday. The e-mail contained a photo of President Bush, Foley, and former FEMA director Mike Brown during a visit to Florida following a hurricane. Beneath the photo appears the caption: "It's Time for a New Direction."

Democrats are trying to link Bush to the Foley scandal, along with the memories of Brown's mishandling of the Hurricane Katrina aftermath.

Brown was forced to resign from FEMA following Katrina due to public outcry about the federal government's slow response to the natural disaster that destroyed portions of the Gulf coast, particularly in New Orleans.
