The Larry Craig debate brought out interesting points tonight with guests Dennis Prager and Juan Williams joining the hosts, conservative Sean Hannity and left leaning Allan Colmes. The fact that Craig, R- Idaho , would plead guilty to disorderly conduct to avoid publicizing " more serious" charges in relation to his possible connection to attempt toill have gay sex in a Minneapolis airport bathroom does not bode well for the Senator. As Republicans begin to line up against him, he will likely be forced to resign soon.
Williams and Colmes pointed out correctly that is is hypocritical for Craig to espouse " family values" while possibly living a secret life which has been rumored for twenty-five years. Hannity and Prager noted that it is hypocritical for Democrats to ask for the resignations of Republicans such as Craig and disgraced Republican and former Florida Representive Mark Foley, while supporting the actions of Bill Clinton , Gerry Studds, and Barney Frank.
Foley was asked to resign for illicitly emailing a House page. Studds was a Democrat who actually had sex with a page, and Frank was found to have a prostitution ring operating out of his D. C. apartment and was being run by his gay lover.
While Democrats are howling for the head of Craig, they supported the re-election of Studds, and Frank is still in office. Republicans at least pressured Foley to resign. Who is worse? Both parties are full of hypocrites and people who don't deserve to be in office. Can't America do any better than this?
