He's a Hollywood guy and his wife lives in Hollywood. Nobody should care, but that's the world we live in. Coleman is extremely creepy from a political POV, consistently supporting Bush at crunch time but pretending to be independent in between times.

He's trying to come on like a choir boy regarding Craig, but forgot the part about his Dad having sex (Dad's in his 80's) in a parking lot & getting caught. The only reason Coleman's a Senator is Paul Wellstone was killed. The only way he will retain his seat is to make 'news' about how righteous he is. It's all PR. As his college roommate just disclosed, Norm 'Bongman' Coleman was basically stoned throughout his college years. People that live in Bong houses shouldn't play with matches.

Didn't they used to return donations from unacceptable characters? This money isn't stolen. If Coleman thinks Craig is unworthy of giving him money he should return the check with a gracious "no thank you" and be done with it. Donating to charity allows Coleman to take credit for charity that while denouncing the man who doled out the cash. Turn the money over to charity?

Craig has become GOP kryptonite. He a) was busted for soliciting nasty anonymous gay bathroom sex, b) pled guilty to the offense, admitting his guilt, and c) subsequently denied any and all allegations, making it obvious to anyone capable of walking with the use of their knuckles that there's a lie in there somewhere...a veritable trifecta of GOP hypocrisy.
