Craig sex sting case dividing GOP senators

Sens. Ted Stevens of Alaska, Jim Bunning of Kentucky and Michael Enzi of Wyoming voiced their dissatisfaction with the response of GOP leaders in the chamber, according to one senator who was at the luncheon and two aides familiar with the meeting.

Stevens, whose home was recently raided as part of a federal corruption probe, stood up to say it’s wrong to prejudge these matters, the sources said.
