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.

If he taps his right foot 3 times then you know he’s sorry.

Sorry, Senator... pleading guilty when you’re innocent means you’re either guilty, or stupid as a rock. Either way, you should resign.

He further states...

“I am not gay, I never have been gay.”

Yeah, I know he’s a good guy. Doesn’t stop the name from being a hoot (or whatever noise an otter makes!)

He’s going to get a lawyer — too little and too late. He’s not quitting — pleading guilty was ‘a mistake’. This is going to get very ugly!

He won’t. But he may not seek re-election.

So how does he prove he isn’t gay? Lie detector? Having sex on camera with a chick?

Will he resign? He sure as heck should. If not, boot him out.

He’s not stepping down/resign.... Going to announce in a few weeks for re-election.

Asking for forgiveness and states he’s not gay.

No argument there. I am merely observing that the loss of a Boxer or a Feinstein can be properly categorized as “no loss,” whereas the loss of Craig should be qualified as “some loss,” “significant loss,” or “substantial loss.”

I would never let a small child enter a men's room at a city park, department store or bust stop...ever.

Topless bar?
