Unfortunate Moments in Eating Your Own Words

Larry Craig on naughtiness and nastiness

Meet the Press January 24, 1999, Sunday 9:00 AM

MR. RUSSERT: Larry Craig, would you want the last word from the Senate be an acquittal of the president and no censure?

SEN. CRAIG: Well, I don’t know where the Senate’s going to be on that issue of an up or down vote on impeachment, but I will tell you that the Senate certainly can bring about a censure reslution and it’s a slap on the wrist. It’s a, “Bad boy, Bill Clinton. You’re a naughty boy.”

The American people already know that Bill Clinton is a bad boy, a naughtyboy.

I’m going to speak out for the citizens of my state, who in the majority think that Bill Clinton is probably even a nasty, bad, naughty boy.

The question issue now is simply this: Did he lie under oath? Did he perjure himself and did he obstruct justice? And that’s where we’re trying to go now in this truth-seeking process. And I hope we can get there. And then I’m going to have the chance to decide and vote up or down on those articles. After we’re through with this impeachment trial, it’s collapsed, it’s gone, then the Senate will make a decision on if it’s a censure or not.

  1. I would conjecture that the reason that there are so many cases of Republicans being unmasked as family values hypocrites is that many of them do not really believe in the values of the social conservatives. For many of them family values are simply a ploy to con lower income people into voting against their economic self-interest by voting for the party of the rich, which shafts them economically.

  2. Another Republican hypocrite bites the dust! I am sick and tired of the some for me and none for thee crowd. Don’t do as I do, do as I SAY! What a bunch of dirtbags!
