Ah, the Sweet Stench of Hypocrisy

Want to protect marriage.

Two United States Senators implicated in extramarital sexual activity have named themselves as co-sponsors of S. J. RES. 43, dubbed the Marriage Protection Amendment. If ratified, the bill would amend the United States Constitution to state that marriage “shall consist only of the union of a man and a woman.”

Sen. Larry Craig (R-ID), who was arrested June 11, 2007 on charges of lewd conduct in a Minneapolis airport terminal, is co-sponsoring the amendment along with Sen. David Vitter (R-LA).

Craig, who entered a guilty plea to a reduced charge of disorderly conduct, was detained and charged for attempting to engage in sexual activity with a male undercover police officer. His arrest and plea became public two months later. At that time, Craig attempted to withdraw his plea and enter a new plea of not guilty. To date, his efforts have been denied by the courts.

In July of 2007, Vitter was identified as a client of a prostitution firm owned by the late Deborah Jeane Palfrey, commonly known as The DC Madam.

With a Democratic controlled Congress it is unlikely the bill will be brought up for a vote in either the Senate or House of Representatives.

Of course it wouldn’t occur to them to start with their own.

Well, I suppose all they need now is Ted Haggard to do the T.V. spots.

See? They're misunderstood. They're really God-fearing heterosexuals that really love their wives!

Care for s'more Kool-Aid?

Maybe they're volunteering to be the poster boys for the ammendment.

I KNOW...OMG...Can they be any more of a joke?

It will be interesting how other republicans will vote on this. They are damned either way. If they vote for it, there can be ads on how they voted with Craig and Vitter. If they don't vote for it, there will be ads that they didn't vote for it.

Well, who knows better than these two, just how much marriage needs to be protected?

I don't understand why these guys would want to put themselves out there for MORE potential embarassment!
