It's a beautiful thing that neither of them are there to kick around anymore!WASHINGTON -- For Tom Foley, election night was a bitter replay of a moment he would rather forget.
Ten years after the former Democratic House speaker was turned out of office in a humiliating defeat, Foley watched as Senate Democratic leader Tom Daschle was vanquished in a race with parallels to his own.
In each case, voters more conservative than the veteran lawmaker representing them punished a leader they perceived as more in touch with the capital than his home state.

Tom Foley feels Daschle's Pain
Not that anyone cares what Tom Foley thinks or feels, but I lived in his Spokane WA district when I was a little shaver and picked up on this piece. Apparently he's commiserating with the outgoing (literal not figurative) senate majority leader and feels Daschle's pain.
