The Continuing Saga of Senator Widestance





Well, well....our favorite men's-room-cruising senator, Larry Craig has had quite a busy month. After first pledging to resign September 30, good ol' Larry flip-flopped and announced he would stay and fight. Gotta love these Republicans and their "ethics".


Sen. Craig. of course, famously reversed course initially by saying if he was able to convince a judge to withdraw his original guily plea, he wouldn't resign. How did that work out? Eh, not so well.


This mattered not a whit to Sen. Craig...he vowed to complete his current term, which runs through January 2009 (about the time we'll be swearing in a new Democratic president and ushering in significant Democratic majorities in both houses of Congress). I would love the spectre of this closet case in the Senate as a daily reminder to voters in Idaho and elsewhere that the GOP is a party of moral hypocrites, serial lawbreakers, and self-aggrandizing liars.


One more note - it's good to see that certain sectors of Sen. Craig's homestate still stands behind him, firm and strong. Welcome your newest inductee into the Idaho Hall of Fame - Senator Widestance.
