I would like to nominate the pretzel-knots the wingnuts are twisting themselves into trying to justify running Craig out of town on a rail while ignoring and giving a standing-O to Diaper Dave Vitter.

I believe that it was Republicans that outed Craig (after all I am sure Craig trusted someone within the Republican leadership and it is that person that served him up in a platter by leaking the news). They did it for two reasons: one of them I do not know and it probably has to do with dirty laundry within the party power structure (much the same as Trent Lott was thrown under a bus to install Frist as majority leader); the second one is that Republicans wanted to dull the news of AG Gonzales’ resignation and this was a resounding success – Craig got Gonzales out of the headlines (and out of most news) all week long.

The rats are not only leaving the sinking ship. They are starting to attack each other. If Vitter’s “indiscretions” had come out at the same time as AG Gonzales’ resignation he may have been the one thrown under the bus.

hypocrisy:

Patrick Sammon, president of the Log Cabin Republicans, a Republican gay rights organization, said: “Senator Craig entered a guilty plea to this crime. Senator Vitter, while he is a terrible hypocrite and his behavior was rotten, he wasn’t convicted or charged with a crime.”

But Mr. Sammon also said there were clear political distinctions at play in the way Republicans responded to the two situations. Were Mr. Vitter to resign, his successor would be chosen by Louisiana’s Democratic governor, while in Idaho, Republicans had the comfort of knowing that Mr. Craig’s successor would be chosen by a Republican, Gov. C. L. Otter.
