GOP Hypocrisy

Much has been made, and deservedly so, of the hypocrisy of Sen. Larry Craig after the relevation that this social conservative pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct stemming from a sex sting arrest in a Minneapolis airport restroom. But equally hypocritical are the foot tapping Craig's Republican Senate colleagues who tripped all over themselves in condemning his behavior and calling for his resignation when no similar demand was made of Louisiana Sen. David Vitter who garnered headlines for procuring the services of a prostitution ring that masked itself as an escort service. Apparently for the political party of God and family values, some adulterous affairs are less egregious than others and therefore more tolerable.
