To say the least, the GOP senate line-up of who's who in scandals and corruption charges is pretty impressive, the latest being Senator Larry Craig who was charged with soliciting gay sex in a public bathroom at airport, admitted to the charge and a guilty plea, agreed to step down, and who turns around and says he's nothing of the above.
I can imagine how furious the GOP senate leadership must be, to have this seemingly family guy exposed to be gay, soliciting sex from a man who turns out to be undercover police, AND worst of all, he flip-flops and now refuses to go!!! Well, what are we to do with a hypocrite like this. Can anything be mistaken, that he really wasn't soliciting sex, when he made foot gestures, put his hand under the toilet petition, and touched the agent's foot? Would any innocent person even be doing that? I don't think so. Oh, and now he believes his guilty plea as an impulse that he really didn't mean it. It's good that the judge dismisses his motion to withdraw the plea. He's not under duress or coercion, and he's not minor. Afterall, it's a grandfather, for Chris sake.
This guy really should just go quietly, and perhaps live another 10 years or so in quiet life. Maybe then, all the charges will be forgotten by 99% of the people (outside of his constituent). But I guess he couldn't face down his family.
Bill Clinton can probably give him some bits of advice, from his (painful) experience, that sometimes it's the act of cover-up, rather than the "crime" itself (if it is at all a crime, rather than just a shameful act, if exposed) that can drag a person down and destroy one's legacy. Well, doesn't look like Craig is learning.
And, does GOP have any other senators left who can claim moral high ground and run on a platform of family values, anyone?
