Oh, well. Maybe Larry shouldn’t have made enemies over the amnesty debate, after having voted to grant amnesty to illegals.
WASHINGTON – Senate Republican leaders called for an ethics committee review Tuesday into Idaho Sen. Larry Craig’s guilty plea in a police sting operation this summer in an airport men’s room.
Republican leaders also are “examining other aspects of the case to see if additional action is required,” Sen. Mitch McConnell and other top GOP lawmakers said in a written statement.
They released the statement shortly before Craig’s scheduled appearance before television cameras in Boise, his first public comments since confirming his guilty plea to a misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct.
However, the Dems should, but aren’t, staying quiet over Congressional scandals:
And a spokesman for the Democratic Senate Campaign Committee, Hannah August, said Craig’s guilty plea “has given Americans another reason not to vote Republican” next year.
Really? How’s your buddy William “Cold Cash” Jefferson doing? Craig did what he did, but Jefferson sold his vote in the House of Representatives – a vote the American people gave him to use legitimately.
