I think there’s problem, though it probably won’t destroy any party. May likely cost the GOP any hope of control of Congress in the upcoming election cycle.

Craig’s ousting doesn’t prove the GOP is hypocritical, the failure to oust Vitter for his involvement in prostitution does, though. In looking the other way when it comes to Vitter and others the GOP has provided the liberals with a never-ending source of viable ammo re: intolerance, bigotry, hypocracy, yada yada, etc.

Shoelover wanted it to be known that the little situation involving US Senator Craig has not gone unnoticed and despite being contacted by 3 major international news outlets, 4 US senators, 3 US congressmen, 1 presidential candidate, 4 Canadian members…

I am not going to publish the link here because it is way off topic, but if you go to my blog tomorrow sometime I will have published a recap of the game.

Although when I keep score, I read it differently…

Raiders…4 championships…
Seahawks…bagel!

And speaking of bagels…Good Shabbos everybody…a peaceful weekend to you and your loved ones.

The two big winners in the Larry Craig sex scandal are:

1) Alberto Gonzales…boy did he disappear fast from the front pages.

2) Hillary Clinton…another fundraising scandal gets buried because sex is more interesting to talk about.

3) Seahawks-19 Raiders-14

Sorry eric, I just had to add that one..

1) Alberto Gonzales…boy did he disappear fast from the front pages.

2) Hillary Clinton…another fundraising scandal gets buried because sex is more interesting to talk about.

After all, Bill Clinton got into trouble over Monica, Al Capone got caught for tax evasion, and Darryl Strawberry for child support issues.

In all those cases, stuff they got away with, to varying degrees, was far more serious.

Larry Craig did not solicit a child. He solicited an adult. His arrogance at trying to use his power as a Senator to avoid the rap is serious, but the underlying charge, a misdemeanor, is nothing compared to other scandals.

The fact that it follows Mark Foley magnifies it.

To quote the grumpy old man on “Law and Order” played by Stephen Hill a few years back, “Make it go away.”

Conservatives still profess belief in such quaint concepts as morals, “character”, integrity”, ethics, “values” and traditional notions of the metes and bounds of human sexuality, as well as holding the Judaeo-christian idea of human beings being flawed by Original Sin, and thus susceptible of violating norms and values, i.e. sinning. So when A conservative gets caught doing something immoral or unethical, or outside traditional bounds of human sexuality, liberals POUNCE on ALL Conservatives!

Thus the liberal sages predict that Craig’s undoing will destroy the republican party, because Craig’s outing “proves” that all conservatives are hypocrites, that conservative ideas about moral, ethics, sex etc. are unrealistic, in that they are crabbed, oppressive, and serve the interest of ruling elites.

And of course, since liberals conveniently forget the “humans as flawed creatures” side of things, and how Christians (and Jews) understand the notion of repentance, forgiveness and redemption, they have no concept of sin, and indeed laugh at such a primitive notion. Sin? You mean my medical addiction? My stealing because I am poor and thus deserve that iPod? Redemption? My ten hours of community service will take care of that!

It’s sooooo easy being a liberal! You don’t ask society or God for forgiveness, and then earn your redemption — you just forgive yourself and “move on”! No wonder so many make such an easy, lazy choice.
