Trying to pretend it is an "August dog day of summer" story misses the dishonesty of a family value man caught doing the exact thing he has preached against.

It's the kind of story you Lefties love.

More to the "politics for pros" issue is the question how it might change Romney's chances. Any thoughts on that?

It won't.

Next question?

Your friends in the MSM agree with you.

ABC Uses Craig Scandal to Again Predict Doom for GOP
NEWSBUSTERS
By Scott Whitlock on This Week

Tuesday's "Good Morning America" used the arrest of Senator Larry Craig in a men's bathroom as an excuse to again herald the end of the Republican Party. Guest co-host Bill Weir teased a story on the Idaho legislator by wondering, "Is the GOP losing its grip?" Reporter David Kerley saw this as a case of Republican hypocrisy. He pointedly observed that "Craig is a conservative who lists among his goals to defend and strengthen the traditional values of the American family."

In early summer, the ABC morning show found another reason to predict doom for the GOP. Co-host Chris Cuomo, introduced a June 25 story on new polling data by claiming that the Republican candidates were "hitting some serious bumps in the road." He then ominously added, "So now the question is, can any of them beat the eventual Democratic nominee?"

Following David Kerley's August 28 piece on Senator Craig, "This Week" host George Stephanopoulos briefly discussed the issue with guest GMA co-anchor Elizabeth Vargas. At one point, Stephanopoulos appeared to find the whole situation amusing. Vargas asked the former Clinton aide why Craig plead guilty. Stephanopoulos responded with a laugh:

George Stephanopoulos: "Uh, that was a big mistake, I guess. [Laughs] I think, the evidence, if you read the police report, and we're not going to go into the details of a police report, it does seem like he was engaging in some kind of solicitation."

..preaching family values

So does that mean Democrats don't have any family values?

Conservatives who do immoral things are always hypocrites. Liberals aren't as they have no morals. Would you agree?

I never heard of the guy until Sunday.

Had no idea he was working for Romney or a Senator for that matter, and I'm a political junkie.

I don't imagine the rest of the folks much care..............excluding political partisans and Idahoans of course.
