In typical fashion, Hugh Hewitt calls for his resignation because he was the head of Romney's Idaho campaign and senatorial outreach program. The Cowardly Lion can't have anyone giving Mitt a hard time. As you see, Hewitt is still supporting the creepy David Vitter, but not Craig....'Nuff said.
And this response by his blog brother Dean Barnett is also ludicrous as he defends Hewitt:
I don’t think anyone’s being hypocritical if they say Vitter can stay and Craig must go. Unless you’re going to say that no moral and personal code should apply to our politicians, Craig’s career must surely head to the crapper.
Apparently, what matters is to have moral standards, even if they are completely incoherent, arbitrary and applied solely to suit one's personal biases and political interests [Vitter's resignation would be for heterosexual encounters and would lead to appointment of a Democratic replacement (hence Hewitt opposes it), while Craig's resignation would be for gay sex and would lead to a GOP replacement (hence Hewitt favors it)]. It might be totally "arbitrary," says Barnett, but at least it is a moral standard.

Two words. Hugh Hewitt. This person is leading the charge against Craig?
Damn, I almost hope he stays in office now.
How did you come to KNOW and support Gov. Romney?
Marco @ 2:
Of course Democrats should hope Craig remains in office!
This way he can be replaced next year by a Democrat!!!
Could someone please explain to me how the most virulently homophobic and anti-gay segment of our population almost chronically has its luminaries outed for trying to solicit gay sex in public?!?!?!
Romney wasted no time in throwing Sen. Craig under the bus.
Avery Davis @ 5:
Maybe he's related to J. Edgar Hoover....
For Republican Senators, having a Democratic governor is the same as having Dan Quayle as vice president, the best insurance money can buy.
OMG, I just LOVE Willard's (I mean "Mitt's") Family Values...I mean the man is just so virile, what with all the offspring...to work for him was a foot-tapping delight...
they met in a bathroom stall years ago.
he supported him then and he supports him now.
after all the positions you find yourself in while screwing in a bathroom
stall are precarious to say the least.
Hold it... isn't that supposed to be a (D)?
:|
"Craig’s career must surely head to the crapper."
Yeah, just like he did.
Does Larry "support" Mitt by cupping his balls?
What a moron.
The Truth Hurts @ 13:
I guess that's what you call taking the low hanging fruit!
So, Senator Craig how did you meet Romney. We bumped to each other in a men's bathroom at the airport.
I just had to do it. Romney is just as big a sleeze.
So I guess the real crime he committed was being gay after all.
Avery Davis @ 5:
Self hatred.
The poor buses! They're getting a lot of folks thrown under 'em lately.
"In typical fashion, Hugh Hewitt calls for his resignation because he was the head of Romney’s Idaho campaign and senatorial outreach program. "
Why does this blog think there's no problem with both bashing liberals when they take conservative actions, and bashing conservatives when they take liberal actions?
If you don't consistently stand for either the people in the party, or the ideas of the party, what exactly is left? Just trying to pick fights between both sides of the aisle? Seems kinda like something the MSM would do.
Mitt should strap Craig to his car roof to cure "teh gay".
JudyLou @ 19:
LOL, I know, must be hell on the shock-absorbers!
I love gay people, but I can't stand hypocrites.
When will the rank and file Repubs see their party for what it is? They've created an insular culture of morals obsessed, self-loathers. There's really no good that can come of that...
soothsayer @ 6:
At least he didn't strap him to the rooftop and drive down the highway.........yuk.
Dr. Matt @ 21:
Why do you (and people like you) keep giving BillO more and more ammo to use against liberal bloggers? Do you really feel that your attempt at humor needed to be stated THAT much? I mean, what even gets accomplished with comments like this? You feel a sense of accomplishment after making yourself believe that people actually think stuff like this is funny?
Stick to the topics, stay creative and be constructive, and there's nothing that can stop the Left.
Keep on trying to be funny whilst contributing to the national distaste for the far left, and we'll stay right where we are.
Craig's crime, and Hewitt's too, for all practical purposes, is not for being gay. Or being lewd. They are guilty of the most blatant hypocrisy we've witnessed in recent times. They are hypocritical homophobes. If Craig is really not gay, then why did he plead guilty to the crime? Did he think that getting the charge reduced to disorderly conduct (which obviates the bracelet and the yellow dot on a web site) would make this go away?
And if he claims it was a mistake, then he's incompetent to hold his office. Does he expect his constituency to believe that he makes laws but cannot understand how they work?
Sadly, it is nearly impossible to show the sheeple how ridiculously and circuitously incoherent they sound as they try to stake their respective "positions".

Someone's got a little bee in their bonnet...
Who gives a rat's ass what "BillO" thinks? Not anyone with 2 brain cells to rub together...
Has anyone checked foxnews to see if they "mistakenly" displayed his name as
Sen. (D) Larry Craig ?
Can't you just feel the love?

Jo @ 27:
Balls. I meant to answer, but not mid-stream. Thank you, Dr. Concern. Many of us need humor, a lot of it after seeing our country be flushed down the toilet. Don't worry, BillO will do his thang regardless of what we say or do. And there is nothing like a good laugh at hypocracy.
AquaVelvaMan @ 28:
Here! Here!
billo: "where did you say that restroom is"?
AquaVelvaMan @ 28:
It's a rather detrimental thing in politics to assume that everyone else agrees exclusively with you. That being said, ALOT of people care what BillO thinks. And regardless of what you think of these people, or their intelligence, they get to vote.
See where I'm going with this?
[Yes, we see. Thanks for your "concern" -- Sitemonitor]
[Deleted. The concern hijacking is over. Don't like the topic of the thread? Then don't comment.]

Sounds like he's living in his own private Idaho.
[Deleted. This line of conversation is over. Please return to the topic]
What's behind the right's different response to David Vitter's call girls and Larry Craig's boy trouble? In a nutshell, the boys.
As the old expression goes, you are what you eat. And that imagery, apparently, is behind the growing conservative chorus calling for Craig's resignation.
For the details, see:
"Behind the Right's Double Standard on Craig and Vitter."
[Deleted. Start your own blog and show us how it's done. Until then, do you have anything to add that is actually on topic?]
Craig is behind Romney all the way? Couldn't resist.
Anyway, it is great that some old queen who pretends to condemn gay sex supports a Morman who pretends he doesn't support poligamy.
JudyLou @ 12:
The other Senator from Idaho (no, you da ho) is named "Crapo"
How is he?
MANAGER:He's okay -- he's in the back.
[They walk to the back of the club.] Come on girls, take a hike. (then) In this room here.
TOM: I want to talk to him alone first.
MANAGER: Come on; Huh.
[TOM walk in to a room alone.]
TOM: I thought I could help you SENATOR.
GEARY: Hagen. [TOM nods.] Listen, I did not --
TOM: I know, you're alright.
GEARY: I didn't do anything.
TOM:It's okay. You're very lucky -- my brother FREDO operates this place, he was called before anyone. If this had happened someplace else, we couldn't've helped you..
GEARY: I -- when I woke up, I was on the floor -- and I don't know how it happened.
TOM:You can't remember?
GEARY: I passed out. [He stands up and moves over the bed where we see a bloody dead girl.] I -- I'll fix it. [He unties the girl's hand from the bed post.] Just a game.
[He takes a towel and begins to wipe up the blood that is all over her. He looks at the towel and wipes off his hands.] Jesus, Jesus.
[He begins to cry. As he does, TOM looks over at NERI who is wiping his hands in the bathroom.] Jesus, God -- Oh, God. I don't know -- and I can't understand -- why I can't remember.
TOM: You don't have to remember -- just do as I say. We're putting a call into your office -- explain that you'll be there tomorrow afternoon -- you decided to spend the night at Michael Corleone's house in Tahoe -- as his guest.
GEARY: I do remember that she was laughing...we'd done it before -- and I know that I couldn't've hurt -- that girl
TOM:This girl has no family -- nobody knows that she worked here. It'll be as if she never existed. All that's left is our friendship.
...
I have no idea why this just came to mind?
Craig pitching to the catcher Mitt.
[Deleted. Please do not feed the concern troll]
Can't help but wonder what percentage of Republicans are gay. It has to be high.
call me twisted, but i feel bad for guys like craig
what is it like going through life hating yourself?
what is it like going throught life hating yourself so much that you distance yourself from others who would welcome you openly?
what is it like hating yourself so much that you would assist in writing laws that will cause the downfall of your personal life and career?
when will the republicans choose to return their party to its roots?

Worst press conference I have ever seen.
The gop will force him to resign for their base of ignorant haters.

Apologies to Lowell George:
Senator Larry sat down where you poops and you pees
He said “Hey Buddy, let me check your stall, all right?”
Rolled his suitcase to block out the sight
And took a “wide stance” to see just what might
I said mister, I said hey mister, what are you up to?
Don’t want nobody sittin’ in the next stall
Don’t want nobody thinkin’ ‘bout cuppin’ my balls
It’s PRIVATE time! It’s private time
But there’s a republican in the next stall tappin’ shoes
I hear you moan, I hear you moan, I hear you moan….
Craig's list. That is uber funny!
Even Michelle Malkin is calling him"a lying crapweasel."
The CoWardly Lions Moral for the day:
Shitting in a diaper and paying a female prostitute for sex is AOK.
[Vitter]
Hitting on other men in the shitter looking for free sex is BAD.
[Craig]
what a sterling example of conservative thinkering.
He's so gay
He's so gay
He's very very gay
He's so gay
He's so gay
And he likes to be that way
With his keys all on the right
He's into rubber every night
He's so gay
He's so gay
He's ALMOST EVERYONE TODAY
He's okay
He's okay
He's got a role he wants to play
He's okay
He's okay
He's just a cowboy for a day
Of course, his evening's not complete
Without some meat in the seat;
Let's skate away
Down Santa Monica today
Maybe he wants a little spanking
Maybe he'll eat a little chain
Maybe his lover should be thanking him
For the way he makes it sprinkle
Into drops of GOLDEN RAIN
He's so gay
He's so gay
He rules the city in a way
You could say
You could say
It's sorta different today
All the taffeta and chintz
And every Leather Boy's a PRINCE
Hey hey hey!
Please don't look the other way
You could be just like him
TOMORROW!
Maybe you'll get a chance
To borrow
(Borrow)
His bouquet
And maybe later...MAYBE LATER
We'll ALL BE
GAY-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y!
DO YOU REALLY WANNA HURT ME?

Taarak @ 43:
maybe because we're watching repugs throw each other under the bus after all these years of keeping their crap in the 'closet'.
these repugs will continue to destroy themselves. they have been imploding precipitously since the 2006 election. I am loving every bit of it.
Biggus Diggus @ 54:
Shouldn't that be "stool pusher?"
Links aren't working. Please fix. Thank you.
uncle joe mccarthy @ 47:
Craig hurt no one with his private actions. I care not what the man likes to do in the privacy of his (or anyone else’s) bedroom. I’m not that concerned with his coded sex requests in the men’s stall. In the words of Homer “I want to make one thing PERFECTLY CLEAR. I thought the policeman WAS A PROSTITUTE!”
Craig is a victim of Rovian Politics, and it was his most public actions that caused the most harm. With his hypocrisy, his very vocal disdain for anything not traditionally “family values” (whatever the Hell THAT means), and his lockstep march toward GOP self-loathing incompetence, he has hurt and helped hurt the very fabric of all we as a nation hold dear.
He is now being thrown under the bus by the very people who he has relied upon over the last 25 years. If I feel sad for him, it is because of the last 25 years of his misplaced loyalty to a system that will now destroy him.
too funny what's happening to these assholes!!!!!!
I have no sympathy for this spewer of hate.
Taarak @ 60:
Craig did, however, hurt a lot of people with his very public actions.
And if he is now destroyed by the system he has cynically been a part of these last 27 years, I will feel no sadness for this subnormal, amoral parasite.

Better yet, I think Craig sounded more like Frankie Five Angels. Since we are getting in Godfather references.
You guys want to know why the right pardoned Vitter in a blink?
Well this son of a bitch was the loudest anti-immigration voice in the senate. That's why. As long as you can keep the Brownies out all your sins are forgiven.
Pete @ 63:
Who am I to deny anyone their moment of schadenfreude? But let’s not forget why we’re angry (or in this case joyous at someone else’s misery).
Even with all the subtle and not so subtle gay jokes and jibes, it is not Craig’s penchant for perversion that angers us, as it is with those who are so equally angry on the right. There’s a difference.
For those Reich-wing vocal many, they are angry because Craig ended up different than themselves. They only espouse tolerance, forgiveness, and understanding for those they understand to be like them. If you’re like them, there’s not much you can do that will be considered worthy of reproach. Step outside that boundary however, and the US vs. THEM mentality is unleashed with fury. Then they get angry. Craig went outside that boundary.
It is precisely that anger that infuriates those on the labeled-left. We are angry at them for their anger, intolerance, rigid self-righteousness, and unforgiving temper.
I would prefer to keep it that way. I will be angry with them for all those things. But it is not anger for the sake of anger. It is anger for the sake of the rest of us (and them).
Immigrant @ 67:
Agreed. Racism trumps questionable morality every time. Personally I think prostitution should be legal. But not these hypocrites. So reap what you sow.
Joe Klein's conscience @ 66:
Ok, that’s a good one too. But the Senator Geary reference is scary. What Craig has kept hidden over the years isn’t equivalent to the fictitious Geary, but the implication of exposure is. The possibility that he was kept so rigidly in step with the Rovian politic because of the fear of exposure is real. And scary.
i've got $100 in a republican/conservative perv pool.
(it's on rushbo to appear on "to catch a predator")
His Party needs to stand behind him and be firm. They need to be careful of leaks, and if any are found they need to act fast to plug them.
I want to thank all of you for coming out today. Let me begin by saying I have done nothing wrong. Before, when I admitted to doing something wrong, I was not gay. I still am not gay and have never been gay, even after this unforunate witchhunt.
And let me be clear on another homosexuality point, I have never unzipped another man's zipper. I have, however, zipped my own zipper, both up and down and always up and down, but never, and let me be perfectly clear about this, never in and out.
Think about this. If I were gay would I have a woman wife? And furthermore, if I were gay would I have children, or, even more unbelievably, would I have grandchildren? Of course not.
Here's what I would have if I were gay, which of course, I am clearly not. If I were gay, which I am clearly not I would have a purse or several purses, which I do not. I would also have a cabinet full of makeup, which I clearly do not.
Think about it. And the the more you think about it the more you'll realize I am not gay and never have been.
By the way, I have many, many guns. Manly guns that no homosexual would dare own. What do you think about that?
Craig was arrest on June 11th
Craig enters guilty plea on reduced charge August 8th
How come we're just now hearing about it? Who's been sititing on the story and why?
Just asking....
Supporting misogynists, racists, pathological liars, swiftboaters and war-addicts = otay!
Supporting a guy who whipped out his dick in a bathroom while not standing in front of a urinal = automatic dissociation.
Not defending the dick-whipper, but I just find it amazing that for all the insane shit Republicans do, only the Mark Foleys and Larry Craigs end up being political poison while the truly dangerous cats like Bush/Cheney, Newt Gingrich, Joe LieBerman, Pat Robertson (etc. etc. ad infinitum) still have clout.
I think Craig is right.
He’s not gay.
He’s a homosexual.
And I for one think there’s a hell of a difference.
Craig is a self-hating, closeted homosexual.
But he’s never done anything in his pathetic life to merit being called “gay.”
Being gay is about being strong enough to live the truth of your life. Being gay is about overcoming the stupidity of anti-gay cultural bias and hatred.
Craig is just a sad pathetic person who has allowed fear and self-hatred to run his life. Craig has allowed this fear to twist him like every other self-loathing closeted homosexual (think Roy Cohn, J. Edgar Hoover and the list goes on…).
We need to be mature enough to know the difference between these two categories.
When Craig claims “I’m not gay” its just another window into the self-deceptive compartmentalization that has ruled his life. “I’m not one of those people.”
He knows who he is. He knows he likes men and wants to be with men. But he doesn’t have the courage to live his life honestly.
Pathetic? Yeah.
Closeted? Yeah.
Homosexual. Yeah.
Gay? No way. Maybe some day, if he grows a pair and can be honest with himself and the world. But not now.
Maybe Trent Lott can offer Sen Craig some advice on how to deal with GOP colleagues who were friends and colleagues for many years, but then after a small transgression they abandon you like so many Bush White House denizens. Yeah, Trent ol boy was bitter but he's back now, even in a leadership position. But his involved mere unfortunate 'words', not actions (let alone gay actions). Yeah, don't look for lemon-puss McConnell to care one iota about Craig anymore. It's the GOP or nothing.
Hugh Hewitt is gay???!! I knew it !!
cg @ 75:
I could not agree with you more.Homophobia strikes deep for all the Rethug creeps....
"Someday,all those cocksuckers will get caught
--Frank Zappa,1988,on hearing about Jimmy Swaggart
Craig is a Repug therefore he's not gay....
Hewitt finds a new idol every few years and constantly goes to bat for them. Mitt's his latest puppy love
2000 Election: Bush California co-chair, Dave Drier
2008 Election: Giuliani Louisiana co-chair David Vitter
2008 Election: Romney Idaho co-chair Larry Craig
2008 Election: McCain Florida co-chair FL Rep. Bob Allen
Anyone see a pattern here?
Well, at least Vitter was straight, loved the girls, paid them well and got his diapers changed.
►Runs-With-Dog◄ @ 72:
Oh, I don't think this will hurt Craig's future too much, he is the best come from behind candidate we have seen in a long time. Butt, like you said, His Party needs to swallow each others' pride and not come to any premature conclusions. That's classic Republican damage control 101.
i was surfing around, looking to see how conservative blogs were handling this news about one of their elected representatives... and found this comment on the following site...
what does that even mean???
What !,
He supports Mitt?
Guliani is going to be upset. Rudy may not cross dress for Craig anymore........
Hey he's not gay. He just likes to have men perform oral sex on him.
The GOP is going to throw Craig to the sharks, because they believe they can hold his seat if a different
thugGOP candidate runs in his place. They are supporting Vitter, because they aren't so sure.The GOP is an organized crime entity. All GOPer politicians know that. So they shouldn't be upset when somebody says to them, "Nothing personal, this is business".
Well they always say...the only thing that can end a politicians career is to be caught in bed with a live boy or a dead girl.
Not much has changed in 30 years.
I thought Romney's religion said to love all people even bathromm stalking, flaming homosexuals.
Mitt's so unhappy that he wouldn't let me download the wmv version of this video.
Craig's been a very bad boy. He should be properly admonished by being forced to ride in a travelling kennel atop the Five Brothers tour bus, at least until the draft is reinstated.
This photoproves Hugh Hewitt is a defender of Mitt Romney's faith.
The blog also documents Hugh Hewitt is a shill for Mitt Romney. After you're done laughing at the first photo, follow the links for the next.

Actually, Larry supports Mitt's sons.
