Romney links Craig with Bill Clinton

From NBC's Mark Murray
In his interview on CNBC's Kudlow & Company (which will air later this afternoon), Mitt Romney had some sharp words for Sen. Larry Craig, who had endorsed the former Massachusetts governor's presidential campaign and was his Idaho chairman. "Once again, we've found people in Washington have not lived up to the level of respect and dignity that we would expect for somebody that gets elected to a position of high influence. Very disappointing. He's no longer associated with my campaign, as you can imagine... I'm sorry to see that he has fallen short."

And Romney also included this jab at Bill Clinton as he continued to talk about Craig: "I think it reminds us of Mark Foley and Bill Clinton. 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. And the truth of the matter is, the most important thing we expect from elected--an elected official is a level of dignity and character that we can point to for our kids and our grandkids, and say, `Hey, someday I hope you grow up and you're someone like that person.' And 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."

1. Dog abuser.

[TwilightGardener]

2. Oh, that Mittens. But at least he pointed to Foley. Bipartisan credit.

[rinsd]

4. But by lumping Bill and Foley together, he muddies the waters.

[AlCzervik]

5. yup and you know thats the plan.

[rinsd]

7. It so is. Hypocritical bastards.

:hi:

[NNN0LHI]

3. This from a guy who wears this shit. Unbelievable

[struggle4progress]

14. May I ask how you know the fellow wears undergarments you find so insufficiently stylish?

Do you really have strong opinions regarding what candidates wear beneath their suits? If you learned (say) that a candidate wore boxers with smiley pictures of spouting whales, instead of briefs, would that affect your interest, donations, and vote?

6. Say what you will about Craig, but Mitt shows absolutely no gratitude

Craig did wrong and is being hit hard, but you would think that a man who he worked for and endorsed would have shown a little compassion for the guy. Instead he throws him to the wolves. No, "I'm sure this is a tough time for Sen. Craig and his family" or anything. I wish somebody would have some dirt on Mittens.

9. Excellent point.

Do you think Mitt's campaign is gonna attack Rudy on family values therefore needs his own slate to be "clean"?

[TwilightGardener]

10. Mittens is ruthless--he has no feelings. He'll toss you overboard

as soon as look at you--he's the OPPOSITE of Chimpy in terms of loyalty.

[AlCzervik]

11. you're absolutely correct. Romney really is nothing but an opportunist

and really heartless.

[madinmaryland]

8. I wondered how long it would take someone to blame Bill Clinton.

Less than 24 hours.

:grr:

[Snotcicles]

12. Come on now, Grease Pit Mit? you sure? nt

[DCKit]

13. Hey Mittens, how come there are more gay hustlers per capita in Salt Lake City

than in Babylon, Sodom or Gomorrah?

Just asking.
