Craig: Romney 'threw me under ... bus'
I like this. It won't be long and they'll be calling each other names. If they'll just keep it up until this time next year, we will
have it all won.

Craig: Romney 'threw me under ... bus'


SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 15 (UPI) -- Sen. Larry Craig, R-Idaho, has harsh words for presidential hopeful Mitt Romney in an upcoming NBC News interview, The San Francisco Examiner reported.

The newspaper said Sunday it has obtained excerpts of the interview, conducted by NBC’s Matt Lauer, with Craig and his wife, Suzanne. The interview is scheduled to air Tuesday night.

Craig -- who has announced he will serve out his Senate term despite a guilty plea in connection with his arrest at a Minneapolis airport men’s room -- was one of two Senate liaisons for Romney's campaign for the 2008 GOP presidential nomination. Craig resigned the position after his arrest became public, and Romney later said Craig had “disappointed the American people."

During the NBC interview, Craig slammed Romney.

"I was very proud of my association with Mitt Romney,” Craig said. “I'd worked hard for him here in the state. I was a co-chair of his campaign on Capitol Hill. And he not only threw me under his campaign bus, he backed up and ran over me again."

1. Awww, perhaps you took too wide of a stance with the Mitt?
I love to see them fall all over themselves attacking each other.

3. No, sorry Larry, you did that all by yourself
First when you got busted and second when you pled guilty. Trying to blame others for your problems is so, well, Republican. Grow up and own up to your own fuck-ups.

5. Well he did get that one right. Mitty dropped him like a hot Idaho tater.
In fact, he dropped him so quickly that one has to wonder about Mitty himself and what kind of stance he has.

follow along like good little puppies, I hope we don't become the same.
