Craig Resisting Resignation

By now you've heard Larry Craig is thinking of not resigning.  That's a big deal.  When the conservative machine cuts a public figure's head off, it always stays cut off.  And usually they pay the person off to make sure they go into lucrative private practice.  So what exactly does Craig have on the GOP establishment, otherwise known as the 'world's biggest closet'?

I'm still assuming Craig's done, as I have a hard time imagining he stays.  But wow, this is a breakdown of discipline.

strikes me as evidence that the national Republican party is completely and utterly dysfunctional.  Specter stuck his finger in McConnell's eye, in full view of everyone.  And there's not a thing McConnell or Bush or anyone else can do about it.

I hope Craig stays for a host of reasons including the fact I don't think this is worthy of resignation even if the guy is a total hypocrit.  His fraudulent life has been exposed which is probably punishment enough especially in an intolerant place like Idaho.

Plus, I can't imagine it helps the Rs with their base or the 2008 Idaho Senate race if Craig stays in office.

So I say to Larry Craig, go ahead and stay in the Senate!


I wonder what dirt Craig has on Arlen? (0.00 / 0)
Hmmmm going to get interesting.

Craig was rail-roaded and he should stay and fight (0.00 / 0)
I don't see that what he did in the bathroom is a crime.  If he had done the same kind of thing in the airport bar, would he have been arrested? 

The contrast between his and David Vitter's plight is interesting and I hope that angle gets more attention.

But, basically, I like to see hypocrits get called out and this case has ALOT of potential in that direction. 

Craig is the new Foley.
