IT MIGHT BE FUNNY IF... - an 8th draft

A friend of mine called yesterday. "WHY do you HAVE to blog about that creepy Craig "thing," it's disgusting ... the least you could do is give (Senator David) Vitter equal time with the hypocrisy issue!" Then without missing a beat this former actor created some hilarious ideas for a two man Craig/Vitter stage show.

Now in case you live under a political rock, the “ethics” of Senators David Vitter (R-LA) and Larry Craig (R-ID) have come into question; Mr. Vitter has been visiting prostitutes for years and Mr. Craig likes to troll the toilets. Both conservative Republicans ran on “family values” platforms. Mr. Vitter’s type of “ethics” has not damage his Senate career but Mr. Craig says that he was “not only thrown under the bus but it has backed and ran over me again.”

So thinking about equality and tired of "driving a bus," I did a little research and found this interesting tidbit about the Vitter/Craig "whatever-you-want-to-call-thems." It seems that one influential gay lobbying group is tying the two of them together (figuratively) and is objecting to the Craig Senate Ethics Committee investigation.

Why? Because they say there is an "inherent contradiction between your (the ethics committee's) treatment of allegations of ethical misconduct by Senator Larry Craig and Senator David Vitter ... There is no explanation for the diametrically opposed responses to these two situations other than hypocrisy tinged by homophobia."

Now, let’s see, what can we name this "Vitter/Craig" stage show? It's a comedy right?
