Neopartisan and Thoroughly Amateur



Craig ouster marks new GOP strategy - Patrick O'Connor - Politico.com
The rush to judge Idaho Sen. Larry Craig this week was most severe among his own Republican colleagues.

Craig officially ended his 17-year tenure in the Senate on Saturday after party leaders abandoned him in the midst of a sex scandal over a June incident with an undercover police officer in an airport bathroom.

His swift condemnation marks a growing imperative among congressional Republicans to punish their own after the party was battered by a string of scandals over the past three years.


File this away for the next Ted Stevens-esque bribery/corruption scandal, and we'll see if it's a "growing imperative" to call a spade a spade in the GOP or not.
