Coleman’s smoke billows over the state

.
Well, Norm Coleman remains true to form. Our carpetbagger senator has popped his little head into the limelight again, after Sen. Larry Craig’s arrest — for soliciting sex in a Minneapolis men’s room — became public.

Coleman chases the ambulance, calling for Craig’s resignation, seizing another opportunity to appear original.
The key word is “after” Craig’s arrest became public, did Coleman become the righteous man. The question remains, however, “What did Coleman know and when did he know it?”

As has been the case with many “family value” pols who clamored for a past liberal prez’s lynching, another hypocrite is bound for the public stocks or worse, for crimes far worse than any dilly-dallying. It all reminds me of a police officer pal’s observation that most apprehended suspects that say they are God-fearing Christians are the bad ones, indeed.

It seems pols and lots of so-called “God-fearing folks” might do well to heed the old but true advice, “People who live in glass houses should not throw stones.”

Should we be surprised when we find out that Coleman and some other of his colleagues, knew of Craig’s excursions long ago?

The Idaho Statesman (newspaper) and at least one blogger have been on Craig’s tail for quite some time, so Craig’s predatory behavior has been no secret. But, as in the case of ex-Florida Congressman Mark Foley, congressional ethics people ignored the smoke, and the fire soon raged.

Note well, Coleman’s smoke billows all over Minnesota ...
