The Pendragon's Hall

As usual, the only sin liberals are willing to excoriate is hypocrisy. Idaho Senator Larry Craig (Republican) has been justly criticized for his restroom tryst. The Pendragon wholeheartedly supports his resignation (a rare agreement with John McCain) but it is constantly annoying how the real problem the liberals on Capitol Hill and their trained dogs in the media have with Craig is not that he is a scumbag or that he engaged in improper sexial activity in an airport restroom. There is no disgust here--in fact the media is elated as are liberals in the blogosphere and elsewhere. They love this. Now when someone brings up Bill Clinton, they can shoot back that Republicans have Craig. Of course Dems have all the Kennedys and many others, but apparently Craig makes up for all of them. The Pendragon is saddened and disgusted by the senator's misbehavior, as I was by Clinton, Kennedy and the myriad of others throughout the ranks of the Democratic party, but I do not rejoice in it. And libs would do well to learn that the hypocrisy charge is a double-bladed knife that can easily cut the hand that wields it. Republicans can remind them that "everyone does it" and leaders should not be held accountable. Actually, Republicans throughout have portrayed more consistency than the Democrats ever have. They have not hesitated to attack and drive from office the man who did this--Democrats on the other hand defend felons and sexual predators with a D after their name; only when it is a Republican do they become concerned with morality. There's no hypocrisy here, folks.
