A Tale of Two Senators

By Nicole Belle

FoxNews Sunday had Sens. Patrick Leahy (D-VT) and Arlen Specter (R-PA) on this morning, predictably steering the conversation to Larry Craig. Their responses fall right on party lines:

Leahy asks why the Republicans have such a double standard between pressuring Craig to resign and protecting David Vitter

...but Arlen Specter thinks that Craig got a raw deal and should retract his guilty plea and fight. Note the recognition of word parsing, that favorite ploy of Republicans. Grasp at straws much, Arlen?
