Craig to Hold Press Conference: Will He Resign? [2pm MDT]
ABC News ^ | August 28, 2007

Posted on 08/28/2007 12:44:58 PM PDT by mngran

His future in doubt, with allies denouncing his behavior and former staffers voicing disbelief at his arrest, Sen. Larry Craig, R-Idaho, is expected to hold a press conference this afternoon that may answer questions about his political future.

Long dogged by rumors about his sexuality, the married and conservative three-term senator is expected to address the June 11 incident at Minneapolis Airport in which an undercover officer arrested him on charges of lewd conduct in a men's room.

Craig will give a statement this afternoon concerning his arrest at 2 p.m. Mountain Time in downtown Boise, a spokesman said. Craig's staff said he would not take questions.

So I sez to my cube-mate just now, I sez "Mr. Craig is a half-hour late for his press conference." And he looks at me with a perfectly straight face and he sez "Did they check the bathroom?"

Craig's done.

I understand that Chuck Norris owns property there.

He needs to run and we need men like him.

Chuck Norris had won every Federal, State, and Local election since 1777. He just allows others to run the country in his place.

Craig’s defense will hinge on his familiarity with the bathroom stall in question. I think the case might be made that the cop misunderstood Craig’s intentions when he told him, “You just need to jiggle the little handle.”

Maybe he’s going to declare his continued support of Vice President Cheney and boldy state, “I like Dick!”

Early reports are saying that he’s going to use the “Hey, I was out of toilet paper and wanted to borrow some from the guy next to me” defense.

ACU Lifetime of 93.4, with 26 years of service is a “loss,” despite his immigration stance. Let’s be honest.

Even if he is the greatest conservative to ever walk the halls of Congress, we should not be re-electing career politicians to public office. Twelve years is long enough. Twenty-six years breeds the arrogance, hypocracy, and corruption that makes Washington D.C. the nation's largest toxic waste dump since Love Canal.

“Thank you all very much for coming out today...”

What a bad choice of words, given the circumstances...!

He’s denying any inappropriate conduct and regrets a plea of guilty.
