Will Kari Chisholm cop to attempting to deceive Blue0 readers? Just admit the mistake. And Clinton & Smith can apologize for voting for the war, and Merkley can apologize for voting for HRes 2 and many will be much happier.

Why isn't McCain calling for Vitter to resign, since he admitted to hiring prostitutes? Why is McCain even in office at all since he was part of the Keating Five. Where is your Honor, Senator McCain?

Just admit the mistake. And Clinton & Smith can apologize for voting for the war, and Merkley can apologize for voting for HRes 2 and many will be much happier.

EBT, the horse died sometime yesterday. I suggest that you stop beating it.

Did you see Lars Larson weigh in on the subject of Larry Craig tonight on the Larry King Show? Unfortunately, we didn't get to hear much of what Lars had to say, as it would have been fun to respond to it later. Randi, bless her babbling heart, would not shut up, though her points were good. To Lars' credit, he thinks Craig should resign. But he also reverted to the old "the Democrats do it too so nah nah". He is a smart guy and I'd love to have seen whether he had any other talking points. If not, then the Republicans "got nothin'". Randi, next time stfu. Thank you.

So, here's my question. When will Gordon Smith ask his friend Larry Craig to resign?

Any senator or representative who voted to give Bush authorization to go to war on Iraq would have to be a hypocrite if he or she called for Craig's resignation for a relatively minor crime that would have caused little or no injury to anyone.

All of the people in Congress who voted to authorize Bush to go to war if he felt like it betrayed their oaths to the Constitution and facilitated a war crime that has evolved into a crime against humanity. They should all resign and get on the next flight to Amsterdam and hitch a ride to The Hague where war criminals are tried.

So, I can't believe that no one has asked yet...will Jeff Merkley call for Sen. Craig's resignation?

Has Gordon Smith called on the Hatch-Act-violating Lurita Doan to resign yet, as Ron Wyden did?

Smith is obviously OK with a brazen lawbreaker and deluded partisan zealot like Doan running the GSA and converting millions of dollars of taxpayer funds for partisan purposes.

I'm astounded! I thought most, if not nearly all Democrats (and TRUE conservatives) believed, and strongly so, that private consensual sexual behavior between consenting adults was hust that: private and not subject to government interference and regulation. I will be far less impressed by any Dem that leaps on that hypocritical band wagon.

As to Craig, he's apparently been hoisted upon his own pitard and is therefore not deserving of any sympathy. As to Smith he is on the horns of a dilemma: either way he is likely to lose favor with one group or the others: the right wing fundamentalists or the moderate Repiblicans and independents. Ny guess is he'll say something innocuous and ambiguous like "It's a real tragedy" and otherwise keep his mouth shut.
