Craig loses bid to withdraw guilty plea

Idaho Sen. Larry Craig lost a court bid to withdraw his guilty plea stemming from an airport men's room sex sting, and his state's governor swiftly announced he had chosen a replacement in the event of a resignation.

Craig had no immediate public response to the ruling by Hennepin County Judge Charles Porter in Minnesota.

But a pre-emptive announcement from Idaho, Gov. C.L. Butch Otter seemed an unmistakeable signal that home-state Republicans want Craig to surrender the seat he has held for 17 years...

He does have kind of a sweet mouth, don't you think?

This P.O.S. is too damn stubborn to resign. Nobody in Idaho wants the dude around except for the few partisan republicans that always follow the party, but even the party establishment is looking to get rid of him.

The Dems are more accepting of "alternative" lifestyles, so Barney doesn't have to go around denying his gayness.

It's the Republicans that are running their fellow polesmoker out of town. All the Dems have to do is sit back and watch them implode.

Might have something to do with the hypocritical gay-bashing the Republican poofters have typically engaged in, prior to being outted.

I'm more disgusted by the dude's willingness to perjure himself to try to save face than his desire to give some cop a handjob underneath a restroom partition.

That would be an excellent way to replace all of them.

He's not being forced to resign, period.

And if you listened to his initial presser after this story broke, it seemed clear that he was more concerned over the fact that some people might think he was gay than he was over the fact that he had pled guilty to a crime.

I believe that he may have been gay, but that he's now cured.

If by salt solution you mean manchowder, then yeah, that sounds about right.

With eighteen years as a sidewinding player in the GOP machine, Senator Widestance is also a serious Christer, with all its vast hypocritical flatlands..where he can rest at night...and cup the warm (etc) balls....and feel the power.

Oh, there's power under that partition....
