Mike Weaver should definitely have sat this one out. Trying to score political points for himself on the Mark Foley mess, Weaver said "This has to do with 16-year-old boys," which it doesn't. Then he said "that showed a very liberal tendency from some of the leadership in the U.S. House of Representatives," which it didn't.
Then his campaign manager interrupted the interview with a Lexington Herald Leader reporter to add that Weaver was "not saying liberals are pedophiles."
Whew! Nice catch by Ryan Alessi and John Stamper and a funny story about a soon-to-be unemployed politician.
Democrats really think inferior candidates are going to be swept into office on this idiotic thing. Lots of luck.
