Wasn't Clinton's dalliance with Monica "wholly unrelated" to official duties, too?WASHINGTON (AP) -- Lawyers for Sen. Larry Craig asked the Senate ethics committee Wednesday to reject a complaint based on the Idaho Republican's guilty plea in a police undercover operation in an airport men's room, saying the events were "wholly unrelated" to official duties.
"Assertion of jurisdiction over this matter by the committee would be literally unprecedented and would create deleterious consequences for the Senate as a whole," the lawyers wrote.
The letter was hand-delivered to the ethics committee hours after Craig served notice that he was reconsidering his weekend pledge to resign his seat.

I'm glad he's fighting this. It's just prolonging the whole thing and making for lots more press.
Exactly!
I'm sure the Republicans are cringing at his smiley face....
