Lame metaphor, Luce

Baxley says Riley must `come clean' in lobby ties

You want to smear Riley as dirty, so you do your spiel outside a carwash. I suppose it's better than a laundromat.

Not to encourage my little troll sock-puppet (does the Riley campaign really have so much manpower they can afford to troll my little site?) but Riley really does have a problem here. His former personal aide is Jack Abramoff's sidekick. There's no getting around it. All he can say is that after Scanlon worked for him, Riley never asked Scanlon for money. He can't even deny getting money from Scanlon, or won't, which amounts to an admission that he took money.
