Craig's resigning

My favorite part of the article is this last part:

QUOTE
Craig also was an opponent of expanding the rights of gay Americans, a stance that drew charges of hypocrisy from gay rights advocates after his arrest became public. He has supported a constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage and opposed extending a federal hate-crime law to cover violent acts based on a victim's sexual orientation.

Uh huh. So Craig (a senator from a state with a Republican governor) gets prodded out of office for something that's questionable at best. Meanwhile David Vitter (a senator from a state with a Democrat governor who would theoretically replace him with a Democrat) gets to stay in office after getting caught with prostitutes.

Politics and double standards ahoy!
