WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate Ethics Committee says Idaho Sen. Larry Craig acted improperly in an airport men’s room sex sting.
Wonder what first tipped off the Ethics Committee sleuths nearly six months ago?

Don Frederick has served as an editor helping guide coverage of every presidential election since 1984. He is a third-generation Washingtonian, so watching the political world comes naturally to him.
Andrew Malcolm's immigrant parents repeatedly stressed the importance of active participation in a democracy. Early lessons included learning the alphabetical list of states by watching televised roll calls of national political conventions. That childhood exposure led to a lifelong fascination with politics, including 40-plus years of covering them and a brief stint practicing them as press secretary to Laura Bush in 1999-2000.

This would never happen to Ron Paul. He whizzes outdoors.

Just another righteous Republican caught with his pants down - literally. From Gingrich through DeLay, Cunningham, Foley, and now, Craig.
Not that the Democrats are exempt - think Clinton and Studds.
But the Demo's don't parade their morality: they're only venal, whereas the Repub's are also hypocrital.

IF Larry Craig were a high level executive, he would not still have a job. Slapping him on the wrist as the ethics committee did today is not eough. Why can't this august group police its own in a timely fashion. I want to know if he gets to keep his senate retirement and health insurance if he retires as a senator, as he plainly proposes to do? Then we can go on supporting him and his behavior for the rest of his life.
