Thread Name: BS: Senator Larry Craig (R-Idaho)- lewd conduct
Subject: RE: BS: Senator Larry Craig (R-Idaho)- lewd conduct
Clinton "getting serviced by a 21 year old intern" was indeed "outrageous" and even lieing about it under oath, "outrageous" but...

...hardly an impeachable offense...

As for the presses' involvement??? Hey, we have become a tabloid mentality nation... It comes with the decline of critical thinking...

Gotta keep the Epsilons happy, you know, which means NASCAR, Budweizer, country music and gossip...

News divisions in corporate media have taken a big hit to their budgets so if you think we're seein' sleaze-media now just hold on to your horses... It really doesn't take hard journalism to get the gossip and vourarisitic stuff out there for public consumption...

But I do somewhat agree with John in that the Repub base has a different set of marals than perhaps the Dem base but the Repubs have been cultivating these folks for decades with their pounding away at the Dems on "family values" (whatever the hack that means) and now it's coming back to haunt them...

I will give the Dems credit here for not politisizing the Craig situation because one of the things that pollsters have said is that the American people are fed up with politics... Had this been a year ago and the Senator been a Dem I think Karl Rove would have played it much differently...

My hats off to the Dems here...
