Idaho isn't Massachusetts, so as soon as the story of his bathroom escapade broke it was clear that Senator Larry Craig would soon be needing new business cards. Except for those elected from the Bay State, US senators and representatives involved in sex scandals are almost always forced to leave Congress.
Hmm, yes. "Almost."
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Jack Kelly says:
[M]edia bias is not the main reason why Republicans suffer more from scandals. Democratic voters expect Democrats to steal on their behalf.
...
The typical Republican voter wants his senator or congressman to keep his taxes low, his government honest. He is furious when GOP lawmakers stick their fingers in the cookie jar, or give lip service to values they do not practice.
Hmm, yes. Those "Typical" Republicans are "furious" with Goopers and their sex-scandals.
I present to you Rudy Giuliani, and his Southern Regional Chairman, Senator David Vitter. Giuliani enjoys being the current GOP Presidential frontrunner, and Vitter enjoys overwhelming approval from Louisiana Republicans. Also, both Rudy and Vitty greatly enjoy being heterosexual.
See, it's all about "Faith, Family and Country" for Vitty and Rudy.

Update: From the T-P's article on the Southern Decadence parade, we found this descriptive morsel:
In past years, Decadence has drawn anti-gay protesters, such as the Rev. Grant Storm, but only a handful showed up Sunday. And the only cross in sight was a big red one carried by a man dressed, he said, as Republican Sen. David Vitter, in a coat, tie and tight white underwear. He was accompanied by a group of men in drag wearing "Wendy" name tags. One was posing as Vitter's wife Wendy, another as prostitute Wendy Cortez, who has said Vitter was a customer, and a third as the red-headed poster girl for Wendy's Hamburgers.
Send me a picture of this if you got one. (Update: Gentilly Girl found one.)
