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.

Well there goes that Senate seat....
Dammit, you beat me to it! LOL!

Lawyer Jeffrey Toobin appears not to be a fan!
Pathetic performance.

That makes no sense.
Forgiveness for what? Lying about not being a homosexual?
