Romney Sticks the Knife into Larry Craig

Mitt Romney sez:

Yesterday, former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney (R), whose Idaho presidential campaign Craig headed until the charges came to light, compared Craig’s behavior to President Bill Clinton’s encounter with a White House intern and to the case of Mark Foley (R-Fla.), who resigned from the House of Representatives last year in a scandal involving male pages.

“I think it reminds us of the fact that people who are elected to public office continue to disappoint, and they somehow think that if they vote the right way on issues of significance or they can speak a good game, that we’ll just forgive and forget,” Romney said on CNBC’s “Kudlow & Company.” “We’ve seen disappointment in the White House, we’ve seen it in the Senate, we’ve seen it in Congress. And frankly, it’s disgusting.”

I don’t disagree with Romney, but I do question his loyalty to his friends.
