Senator Larry E. Craig of Idaho, defying the wishes of many in his own Republican Party, said Thursday that he would remain in the Senate through next year despite a court ruling against him in Minnesota, where he had sought to rescind his guilty plea stemming from an undercover sex sting.

Shortly after a judge denied his request to withdraw the August plea admitting to disorderly conduct, Mr. Craig said he had reversed his previously announced decision to leave the Senate if he could not get the plea thrown out. He said he would instead serve out his third term, which expires in January 2009. He said he would not run for a fourth.

Pajeff3, keep the drooling excuses flowing but just remember one thing:

GOP=GROUP OF PEDOPHILES ( and just closet perverts in general, can't be denied unless you're brainwashed)

The hypocrites you're defending are perverts and slimy restroom republicans, Larry has done miles of cock!!! Keep posting your garbage about corruption because when it comes down to the politicians corruption has no bounds. But when it turns out that your GOP pals are just a bunch of hypocritical perverts there is no way you will find as many Dems in the pervert department as the in the closet cock sucking GOP department!!!!! Get over it, you're trying to defend the indefensible!LOL LOL

Poor pajeffie... seems awfully desperate to defend the ReTHUGs... and yet claims to be an Independent. Of course all the other "indies" hav fled the GOP. Leaving pajeffie all alone.

But, hey, pajeffie - thanks again for helping kill off the GOP.

The neo-cons paid millions to create Swift Boat Veterans for Truth to distroy Kerry's Vietnam service.
This GOP 'Family Values Hypocrite' is free! The DNC just needs to promote this poster child of the right.

By not admonishing him or kicking him out the GOP is making yet another stupid move. Great!! They just keep cutting their own throats. Larry Craig couldn't get elected dogcatcher in Idaho right now. All the democrats have had to do for the last couple of years is sit back and watch the show. Could this widespread self-destruction of their party be God's way of punishing them for selfishly, erroneously and immorally hijacking him to suit their own agenda over the years with help of the nazis in "The Christian Right", which is anything but christian? Absolutely.

Larry won't go! No, Larry can't go! Remember, he didn't flush! What a record for the GOP legacy of corruption, incompetence, and hypocrisy: Stevens, Craig, Domenici, Ney, Cunningham, Foggo (Exec. Dir. of CIA), Claude Allen (President's Domestic Advisor/shoplifter), Gonzales, etc. etc. etc. Plus their pussy friends Haggard, Dobson, Rush, and Robertson and Condi and Ann Coulter, etc.

It's supposedly an ancient Hebrew aphorism that didn't make the cut for the Book of Proverbs, so I guess we can't fault Craig for not heeding the wisdom that "pride goeth before a fall".

Once you state ...I am not gay...I have never been gay...and I have never had a cock in my mouth, you are probably stuck in that stance. ( ok, i put the last line in, but that is what he was trying to say )

My guess is that he's betting that if he can just hold on, it will all blow over -- just like all Republican scandals do.

The guy spends his career demonizing gays, and then he ends his career by breaking another barrier for them: making it acceptable for gays to engage in conduct unbecoming a senator! You're a trailblazer, Senator!

Sen. Vitter is the luckiest guy in Washington, having Larry Craig for political cover.

Also, shouldn't the Republicans stop demanding that Sen. Craig "give up his seat"??

It's only acceptable for the "I'M NOT GAY...NEVER BEEN GAY" Republican crowd!

Stay safe, healthy and happy,
Love, Loretta

You are so right about David Vitter. But I think the only reason the GOP has not thrown him under the bus is LA has a Democratic Governor. If they force Vitter to step down Gov. Blanco would appoint a Dem to replace.

The only question remaining for Larry is if he is a Crystal METHodist like his perverted, drooling GOP pal Ted Haggart. Larry has done miles of cock but does he do METH?
