I posted this at the end of an earlier article and am reposting it so it will get more views and hopefully lots of fun uses. "Foleyate" use it enjoyably and often.
Foleyate:(verb) to taint a political party with scandal, negatively affecting their success in an election year.
Derivation: Mark Foley's page scandal tainted the entire GOP contributing to their losses in the 2006 election.
Use in a sentence: Republican leaders and right wing pundits are demanding that Senator Larry Craig resign now, because they fear if he remains in office until the end of his term, or even chooses to run for reelection, he will Foleyate the rest of the GOP ticket in 2008.
