Politics Today is October 1, 2007…

…and Sen. Larry Craig (R-Idablow) is still in the U.S. Senate. Craig had indicated his intention to leave the Senate by September 30—which was, uh, yesterday. But Craig is refusing to step down until a judge rules on his petition to withdraw his guilty plea. And if a judge allows Craig to pull out his hot, sweaty guilty plea, Republicans worry that Craig may try to remain in the Senate through 2008—and they’re not havin’ it.
Sen. Larry Craig of Idaho is a tough guy to run out of town.Not that his Republican colleagues aren’t trying. Worried that the disgraced lawmaker intends to remain in the Senate indefinitely, they are threatening to notch up the public humiliation by seeking an open ethics hearing on the restroom scandal that enveloped Craig last month.
The Senate hearing would examine the original charges in Craig’s case, including the allegation of “interference with privacy,” for peeping into the bathroom stall occupied by an undercover police officer. One senior Republican aide imagined “witnesses, documents, all in front of the klieg lights.” The committee also could look for “a pattern of conduct”—which means combing court records in other locales to discover whether Craig had prior arrests that haven’t come to light.
Maybe Larry is secretly a Democrat, too. Thanks, Larry!
Oh, Larry, you go girl!
Yay, Larry! Fight for your right to potty, baby!
The gift that keeps on giving...blowjobs!
Tie a bow on it, Larry, and hand it to the Democrats. We thank you. Be our guest, make as much noise as you like.
Who sez the Republican party ain't diverse? Larry Craig represents self-hating closeted homosexuals across the country!
His leaving is great for salmon.
Well, what a perfect way to cap off the Summer of Cum aka the Endless Cummer.
Time flies when you're having fun, right?
Now it's time to prepare for the Fall Republican Sex Scandals. I'm on the edge of my seat awaiting the Cocktober Suprise.
Yay!!! Please, oh please, keep fighting. Lets hoist this old thing up the flag pole a few more times. Beat that dead horse again. Drag the hypocrisy back onto the front pages as long and as often as you want. Preferably up until next November.
Oh, and Will @7, his leaving is only good for salmon if the Republitard that replaces him is more of an environmentalist than he is (unlikely). The Idaho governor will assign his replacement, who will inevitably be a Republican of equally right wing voting record. The only difference will be the lack of public hypocrisy and scandal, which would be boring.
low chances of reversal ... and he will exit if his court case is not re opened
he still polls well in Idaho ... the voters think he was set up and don't like cops
in some ways, smart voters ... I don't trust cops either, and he was part of a sting scam
too bad his politics are so horrid - seems to be a fighter
by the way, per usual, the cop in the stall is just a cutie pie, at Purr should he appear, the hot eyes would melt the ice supply
Rumor has it Craig was going to quit but then decided to stick it out.
I was really pissed that Bill Clinton didn't stick by Lani Guiner but now I see that the Repubs dont' have a backbone either.

It was hard when he left his friends behind in DC.
