Mitch has created a great extended list of Republican corruption and criminal behavior at Basket of Puppies. Again… note the themes. Take a look. Thanks for commenting and letting me know about your list, Mitch!

On this Larry Craig scandal in particular, I’m struck again by how destructive it is when people cannot accept themselves for who they are. There is a strange doubling of the personality.
