Oh MAN! I was flipping around just minutes ago, and ended up on the Fox Noise Channel. Sean "I'm unbiased" Hannity was on there with three talking heads. And he was saying how he's amazed at the double standard. Sen Craig was only sitting in a stall, tapping his foot on the floor, waving his hand under the stall. That's not lewd conduct!, so Mr. Hannity claims. But Bill Clinton, well he actually had SEX with that girl and lied about it! Now THAT'S criminal.(of course, Mr. Hannity conviently forgets that Mr. Craig PLED guilty to the charge, and Mr. Clinton was NEVER convicted of ANY wrongdoing, despite the millions of dollars the Republicans wasted in the persecution of him, culminating in the misguided impeachment)
Another talking head got on then to say that he's amazed also by the 'double standard'. When people take a 'moral stance' like Sen. Craig, when he has a lapse in judgement, the Democrats call him a hypocrite. He's not a hypocrite, he's a sinner! And as a sinner he needs to be forgiven and allowed to continue doing his job. And a hyopcrite, well, let's not forget Al Gore, who sucks up all this energy and then tells the rest of us not to. Show me one Democrat that called Al Gore a hypocrit.
(Of course, this joker conviently forgets that Senators McCain and Coleman (?) BOTH Republicans have called for him to resign.)
I wonder, do either of these guys, or thier ilk, see any irony, or, dare I say it, hypocracy, in denouncing a 'double standard' by pointing out how 'badly' the Republicans are treated but yet how 'easy' Democrats have it?
Nah, that sort of deep, logical thought is more than likely lost on the Fox Noise Makers.
