First, the Mouth of the Potomac picked up CREW's call for Fossella's resignation:

Amid a sympathetic backlash for disgraced Rep. Vito Fossella, legal watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington is calling for the Staten Island congressman to step down over the alleged use of taxpayer funds to pay for trips he and his admitted mistress took while on official business.

Left-leaning CREW, which played a key role in the downfall of several GOP lawmakers in 2006 and has taken on a few Democrats, too, credits aggressive reporting with revealing that “taxpayer dollars helped fund his long-standing affair.”

”By traveling the world with retired Lt. Col. Laura Fay, Mr. Fossella used his position and public money to pursue his illicit affair,” said CREW Executive Director Melanie Sloan.

The group called for Fossella to quit amid a “don’t veto Vito” blowback on Capitol Hill, in which some lawmakers contend Fossella can survive a drunken driving charge and an admitted affair with a retired Air Force officer assigned to work with Congress when the tryst began.

Then, the Daily Politics did, too, noting our criticism of former Speaker Hastert: 

The Citizens For Responsibility and Ethics in Washington became the latest today to call for Rep. Vito Fossella's immediate resignation and is also seeking an investigation into his potential use of public funds to conduct his extramarital affair.

CREW Executive Director Melanie Sloan deemed it "reprehensible" that Fossella only admitted his "two families" in the wake of his drunk driving arrest. She also slammed former House Speaker Dennis Hastert, saying he was "apparently aware of the affair."
