What is it with Republicans and the Minneapolis airport?
In case you haven't heard: FOX "News" anchor "Gregg Jarrett" has been hauled off to the hoosegow after causing a disturbance at a Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport bar. This, a mere seven years after Republican Senator Larry Craig was arrested at the same airport for soliciting a blow job from an undercover police officer.
Hm. Right wingers, who are so intolerant and judgmental of others, always seem to be falling into scrapes like this. Andrew Breitbart gets loaded and screams at Occupy protesters. Vito Fossella is pulled over for DUI (and eventually, reveals that he has an entirely second, secret family). And then of course there's John Boehner. We cats could go on and on.
Yet whenever Republicans are caught misbehaving, it's always a "problem," never a crime — and the hypocrisy is never addressed. In the words of the FOX "News" official statement, "[Gregg] is dealing with serious personal issues at this time." Such understanding, such compassion!
We've said it before and we'll say it again: You're not a first-class person until you've learned to have some regard for human frailty. The Republicans have none — yet, how incredibly frail they continue to be.
