Larry Craig had this to say about his plea denial:
I am extremely disappointed with the ruling issued today. I am innocent of the charges against me. I continue to work with my legal team to explore my additional legal options.
I will continue to serve Idaho in the United States Senate, and there are several reasons for that. As I continued to work for Idaho over the past three weeks here in the Senate, I have seen that it is possible for me to work here effectively.
Over the course of my three terms in the Senate and five terms in the House, I have accumulated seniority and important committee assignments that are valuable to Idaho, not the least of which are my seats on the Appropriations Committee, the Energy and Natural Resources Committee and the Veterans’ Affairs Committee. A replacement would be highly unlikely to obtain these posts.
In addition, I will continue my effort to clear my name in the Senate Ethics Committee – something that is not possible if I am not serving in the Senate.
When my term has expired, I will retire and not seek reelection. I hope this provides the certainty Idaho needs and deserves.
So, they deserve a toilet trolling Senator who goes back on his word? Poor fuckers.

Newsflash: every politician goes back on his word.

Yeah, WWH, but this guy is an exceptional hypocrite.

I have lived in Idaho my entire life and am glad to say i have never voted for this guy. The sad thing is that even with this discrace to the republican party of Idaho another republican will be elected to the senate. Its unfortunate that even with this scandal and with all the other republican discraces recently a democrat still has no chance in a state like Idaho.

Panther, after many years of a Republican lock on my rube semi-rural congressional district in California, the Dems took it back in 2006. It can happen anywhere.

Link, please, to nude photos of the cop who busted her. Let’s see what all the poopoo was about and if it was even worth it. Did the cop flash a monster at the queen?
