This has to be one of the choicest nuggets bubbling out of the GOP Foley meltdown. While House Republicans are lining up announcing how they believe Rep. Foley should be sent to Gitmo and immediately waterboarded, the House Republican campaign committee appears to be angling to get him to cough up his $2.7 million warchest so they can give it to other GOP members of Congress.

From the Times ...

Carl Forti, the communications director for the National Republican Congressional Committee, said Sunday that the committee would gladly accept Mr. Foley’s money or part of it to devote to House races. Mr. Foley already gave $100,000 to the committee in July, campaign records show, as part of the party’s Battleground Program, to which members are asked to contribute.

“The money is in the control of Mr. Foley,” Mr. Forti said. “Whatever he decides to do with it is up to him.”

Money can't buy ya love?
