He's trying to make a point that Denny Hastert resigning has nothing to do with Foley's ... erm... issues.

It's a very poor point. The editorial page editor does not have responsibility over an HR person, as Denny (R-Bratwurst) does, and whoever does would only be held responsible if he were covering up a HR person's indiscretions, as Denny was.

But whence does this episode of Really Bad Analogies come?

The human resources director of The Washington Times has been arrested on charges of soliciting a teenager for sex on the Internet.

D.C. police say 53-year-old Randall Casseday of Dobbs Ferry, New York, was arrested Tuesday night in Northeast Washington. He had allegedly arranged to meet what he believed was a 13-year-old girl he had been corresponding with in an online chat room. The person he was communicating with was a detective with the department's Internet Crimes Against Children branch.

Casseday, who rents a room in the Washington area, was charged with attempted enticement of a minor and was due to appear Thursday in U.S. District Court.

Brian Bauman, a spokesman for the Times, says the company is cooperating with authorities and that Casseday has been suspended without pay pending the results of the investigation.

A perv? At the Moonie Times? PERISH the thought!
