While the media has been covering the fallout, except Fox News, the story has a predictable arc. The hypocrisy of another anti-gay Republican opening the closet door is up there with the media's hypocrisy in conflating what Craig was doing with Foley going after children. And next to conservatives accepting Senator Vitter paying for (heterosexual) sex but calling for Craig to resign for peering through the bathroom stall.
After hypocrisy and homophobia comes the denouement. Craig will resign no doubt and be replaced by another anti-gay Republican (who may or may not be gay). The media will move on to the next story (read: scandal) and Hurricane Craig will pass with minimal damage and little national discussion on the underlying issues.
