Senator Craig Taps His Foot

The legal angle is intriguing. Here is the document Senator Larry Craig signed indicating that he was guilty.

Now he claims that his plea was a mistake. However, wouldn't that claim that his guilty plea was a mistake make his guilty plea perjury since he was asserting? The man has put himself into a box from which I doubt he can slither out.

The expression on the face of Craig's wife as she stood by his side was telling-- a wrinkled nose, as if she was smelling something especially vile, and sunglasses that no doubt covered red-rimmed eyes. My heart goes out to her but not to her despicable husband.

Karl Rove has claimed that the reason the Republicans lost in 2006 was over ethical issues rather than the war. I think Rove is mistaken. But nevertheless the Republicans' claim to moral supremacy in family issues is tattered, and they are eager to put this sordid affair behind them as fast as they can-- not that it will do much good in 2008. My guess is that Craig will offer his resignation for health reasons by Labor Day.
