Matt the good Republican suck up really handled this interview with kid cloves. Now he attacked the Clinton's. Mr. and Mrs. Craig demanded that Bill resign from office yet he feels he should stay and finish his job. The lesson is let the first person without sin case the first stone. Yes Craig was throwing stones at Bill Clinton and God was watching. I guess Bill read the bible as he wishes Larry the best.
