Somebody please explain this to me:

Senator Craig pleads guilty to trying to pick up a man for sex in a public toilet and the Republicans are all over his case demanding his resignation.

Senator Vitter admits to soliciting prostitutes, and barely a word from the Republicans. Senator Vitter remains on board.

Could it be:

1. Louisiana has a Democratic governor who would make the appointment in Vitter's case, while Idaho has a Republican governor?

2. Hetero-sex with a prostitute is OK with the "family values" crowd, while gay sex is not?

3. There are a lot more Republicans who are guilty of what Vitter did than what Craig did, and people in glass houses don't throw stones?

What?

1. number 1

of course

[rateyes]

2. That was my best guess...

I think #3 has something going for it, too.

3. The answer is D: all of the above.

4. Those are not mutually exclusive choices

I'm inclined to agree with the "all of the above" response.

[rateyes]

5. So, the answer is: Yes.

:hi:

I think that, too. But, I think #1 is the prime reason.
