Ol’ Wide Stance Loses

Servicing lobbyists is a core job duty for Senators, no?

200K’s an extremely expensive closet.

When I saw this picture I thought it was connected with the Time magazine photos immediately below. It was a natural mistake.

While being as happy to gloat as the next men I must confess to being very disturbed by the entrapment aspect of this story. Say he’d been a businessman from Toldeo with a wife and children caught by a cop who was coming on to him would we be so happy? Of course, it’s Larry Craig so whatever but the entrapment aspect is too like the way things used to be for me to be able to completely enjoy this.

But kudos to brother Craig for the entire absence of shame where money is involved aspect.

@Benedick: I agree that, if the facts are as were described by the ex-Senator, this case could be rife with entrapment. However, the police report told quite a different story about who came on to who.

I can’t judge credibility at this distance. Both sides had an interest in spinning the facts.

However, he did plead guilty. In my mind that allows us the right to nail him on the hypocrisy of his conduct. Being a conservatard Republican is, on this point, quite different than a private citizen.

He may have been entrapped. We don’t know. But even turds get entrapped, and that doesn’t exonerate them from being turds.
