That's a good question. It will take hours of hearings by the ethics committee, no doubt complete with reenactments of the wide stance and hand flashes, to determine whether he is deserving of expulsion for committing a misdemeanor offense.
So, I go back to my original question:
If you're a D, are you better off avoiding the question altogether (not voting one way or the other) or are you better off sticking the R's with hearings and then keeping him in office for another 1.5 years, while voting for the "principal" that committing a misdemeanor is not worthy of expulsion.

I would wager that the only people who really care are Republicans who want Craig out of their party for principled or instrumental reasons, and if I were a Democrat I might decline to think about the matter altogether.

OTOH, the Dems won't even kick you from a committee if the feds find cold cash in your freezer. |

And he could slap the cuffs on once he had them immobilized with their dicks in his mouth! Perfect!

The recent discovery that both parties are capable of having sex calls into question whether assertions that one's party is a "big tent" was a double entendre all along. |

Can you imagine the vivid word-image that Carville could have come up with to refer to Craig. I miss his mumbly-mouthed slanders. I still think Paula Jones' lawyers missed a target there.

Just wow.
Can I profile which doctor i go to in the ER?
- Muslim medical students get picky
Some Muslim medical students are refusing to attend lectures or answer exam questions on alcohol-related or sexually transmitted diseases because they claim it offends their religious beliefs.
Some trainee doctors say learning to treat the diseases conflicts with their faith, which states that Muslims should not drink alcohol and rejects sexual promiscuity.
A small number of Muslim medical students have even refused to treat patients of the opposite sex. One male student was prepared to fail his final exams rather than carry out a basic examination of a female patient.

Pssh. They just don't want to be urologists. I'd say it's a blunt instrument. |

See the word "some"? The same phenomenon has been going on with Orthodox Jews and fundamentalist Christians for decades. Eventually they concede all science to the godless moderates, and then all is well once again. |

think. between. the. lines. if the Jihadis won't exam a female at all, even when they have a decent excuse, how is sebastian's "blanket the mideast in Porn" cure going to gain any traction?

You go to the ER for STD treatment? You should really attend to that sort of thing before it gets to the emergency stage.

the last time a girl let me, you know, I was so happy i decided i would never wash my, you know, again. anyways, when green started oozing I just thought that was to be expected and I didn't put 2 and 2 together for awhile. then, even when i knew i had to go to the ER, 3 islamic cabbies turned me down to go to the hospital because i had a flask with me to calm my nerves.
