no frank, he's better than many REPUBLICANS, too. your making it partisan is ridiculous given the long line of hypocrites that come out of your party.
now ask yourself, did he pay a hooker and wear a diaper like vitter?
did he pay off the husband of his girlfriend out of campaign funds so he'd keep quiet?
did he hit on underage congressional pages?
did he out a CIA agent?
did he lie to start a war?
did he make his kids play with a dead baby?
Except he's not a Republican. So he can't be judged by GOP standards. He has to be judged by the more lenient Democrat standards.
Frankly he deserves to go just for being so damned stupid about it. Wha would have happened had he fessed up at the very beginning and then begged for understanding? The press hates being lied to.
how are the standards more lenient if he's going and vitter is still there?
i agree about lying. he should have said nothing. he panicked
Barney Frank is still there. Alcee Hastings is still there. Maxine Waters is still there. Charlie Rangel is still there. All of them have committed, or there is reasonable evidence to suggest, far greater crimes than flashing your hamptons or patronizing a hooker.
If he had said nothing he would be cooked. If he had just spilled it he might have survived the scandal.
But your judgment isn't the greatest, as we already know.
