I don’t find his I-sent-this-to-my-supervisor-to-deal-with defense terribly inspiring. Is he a file clerk or a congressman? It’s even worse that his chief of staff went back to help his old boss Foley try to get out of trouble on Friday. Kirk Fordham, Reynolds’s cos, is the guy who reportedly offered ABC an exclusive on the resignation if it withheld the instant-messaging story. (How could anyone have possibly thought ABC would take that deal?)
