Republicans are Whistling Past the Foley Graveyard

Where's Newt Gingrich's Republican lexicon? Did he lose his book of "new" words to toss at the non-Republicans? "Foley arts" is also the guys who put the sound effects that make the film arts "rock" and "roll" with footsteps, broken glass, etc., named after the guy who did it best I guess. Also watching my father in the hospital I learned another name for a catheter is a "foley" at least that's how it sounds. "Foolee" would be the guy who ran into the Scottish "bobby" at the world economic conference in Scotland on his bicycle and put the officer out of service for, what, 14 weeks?

Any relation to?

"The day he arrived in Baghdad, he met with Thomas C. Foley, the CPA official in charge of privatizing state-owned enterprises. (Foley, a major Republican Party donor, went to Harvard Business School with President Bush.) Hallen was shocked to learn that Foley wanted him to take charge of reopening the stock exchange."
