Does it really matter if Craig stays or goes? Idaho will just send in an even more far-right psycho, and in three weeks the whole sorry episode will disappear down the National Memory Hole anyway.

All in all, I'd say this is a shrewd victory for Senator Craig who succeeded in perpetuating the hoax of his "resignation." This is the kind of "Fuck You" politics that's the norm today.

Because...they don't. And they don't.

PLEAD with Sen. Craig to not only stay BUT RUN FOR RE-ELECTION!!! The perfect storm would be the GOP having to run someone else against Craig in a primary race which costs the GOP money. Money that can not be spent on other campaigns. Even though the Dems pretty much have no chance of winning the seat such a primary race in the GOP makes the Republicans WASTE MONEY!!

So come out with me and say "Stay Larry Craig, and RUN RUN RUN for Re-Election in 2008!!!!!"

he he he he!!!

He then drew an obvious Bush-Nixon parallel by saying, “Spiro Agnew was not an American hero."

I can't stop laughing.

That's just the kind of Bush-bashing, America-hating tirade you'd expect from a leftist, moonbat, Che Guevara-fellating, communist faggot like Chris Matthews.

Larry Craig is one such senator: http://craig.senate.gov/photo.cfm. I think my copy is still sitting somewhere in the garage back home collecting dust.

Tearoom sex isn't my gig, but liking it isn't antithetical to respectable public service. No, I want him thrown out of the Senate because he's a lying, motherfucking hypocrite who would condemn those who do what he does secretly. That's where the moral turpitude lies.

When did this happen?

Also, he apparently thinks that he came out as the clear victor during the interview with Jon.
