Reynolds abruptly cancels Sunday show appearance.

Rep. Tom Reynolds (R-NY), the top House Republican campaign official who was told of Foley’s emails last spring, was “booked weeks ago” for an appearance on ABC’s This Week, and “confirmed his appearance on Wednesday.” But by Saturday, “his office canceled without explanation.” A spokesman later said he had “flu-like symptoms.” A new poll shows him 15 points behind his opponent.

It’s understandable. It being Sunday, he couldn’t round up enough kids to hide behind.

OH MAN I LOL when I heard that. What a coward. First he hides behind a bunch of kids so reporters cant ask him any questions about Foleygate and now hes ducking the media.

I keep thinking it cant get any better and then the next day, it does.

Karma really is a bitch.

The Foley strain is terribly debilitating and highly contagious to Repbulicans.

I LOL when I heard that this morning. I think Reynolds is a coward.

When he cant hide behind children like at his last news conference he just bails. Nothing like acting guilty when the going gets tough.

It is enough to give any Republican the “flew” symptoms.

Poor old Tom. I can understand how that could make him feel pretty sick.

Republicans are chickenhawks. they can shoot their mouth’s off when they face no challenger, but put them up against an actual opponent and they run for cover. And they think these rerehensible chickens are the “best and brightest” to run the country.
