The G.O.P. : Growing Obnoxiously Pathetic!

Last year we had Mark Foley for being caught for breaking his own law, and then coming out with his sexuality. And now we have another few scandals in the making with the Republican party, who touts itself as the "cleaner" one of the two main parties of our country.

Idaho Senator Larry Craig was arrested at the Minneapolis-St.Paul International Airport for lewd conduct in the mens bathroom a la George Michael style. The senator who campaigns with anti-gay rights and a family values, quite ironically, finds himself on the side he has been working against. Well the Senator plead guilty to the charges, but now is saying that he regrets doing so. Pretty much a confused person.

Then we have Senator Ted Stevens of Alaska taking bribes to give federal based contracts to a contractor. The bribe of course was the doubling the size of his house, which currently the Justice Department is investigating.

And it continues to get bad if not worse, with Louisiana Senator David Vitter being involved in a prostitution ring. His reply of "I committed a very serious sin", doesn't even sound serious in my opinion. What's ironic here is that he replaced Congressman Bob Livingston after his infamous adultery scandal during the Clinton-Lewinsky affair, which the Republican party used to their fullest advantage of making the public believe it is an ethical party. What's absurd is that Republican senators gave Vitter a "loud standing ovation" after his scandal broke, which is hypocritical by contrasting that with the Republican attitude towards President Clinton's marital infidelity.

Comically Senator Vitter's wife, Wendy Vitter commented on the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal by saying, "I'm a lot more like Lorena Bobbitt than Hillary. If he [Vitter] does something like that, I'm walking away with one thing, and it's not alimony, trust me," referring to the incident of Lorena Bobbitt severing the penis of her husband and to Clinton's wife, Hillary Clinton. I have one word of advice for Mr. Vitter......RUN!!!!

And with now former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales's resignation yesterday, more cans of worms might be opened with the political fight brewing on Capitol Hill. Maybe many more scandals and resignations might be on their way.
