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.

No kidding, what have I been missing? what got pulled?
“I think that he will resign.”
I agree.
Shouldn’t that be “Surrender friend of Dorothy”?
Anyone know how long he has been in office?
I think it is also a bit of the Dead Girl/Live Boy thing. Of course, even the Dead Girl is not an impediment, if you happen to be a Kennedy.
Even if it means knocking on every (bathroom) door in the state.
:-)
Wiki says 1991.
Scroll back and you’ll count the missing entries...
I agree he won’t resign. And he may even work hard to get re-elected.
However, the voters in Idaho, a conservative state won’t re-elect him.
And his staunch support of open borders won’t get him much conservative support either. Will his strong NRA be enough to get him re-elected?
NO.
It’s tough when a distinguished career comes to an end and all that’s left is to be the butt of jokes.
Has he started his press conference yet? Or is he still “stalling?”
So he walks away with a big fat pension......no tears from me!
I just wonder how men are going to feel in public bathrooms from now on?
bttt
Craig must resign from the Senate immediately.
What kind of 'man' wears sandels with his suit?
A little time still to get my Bet in.
It will be “ Umm. I’m not gay. I sat down and the guy next to me was looking at me through the crack in the door. So I looked back. Then, I was a bit nervous because of the freak looking at me through the door, so I started tapping my foot somewhat anxiously while I tried to get my business done. I sure was glad I brought my bag into the stall. There were strange people afoot in this bathroom. He kept looking, so I cleared my throat a few times ( VERY nervous now) , and then showed me some sort of ID through the door and asked me to come out. I said no, until I realized , “ I think this guy might be a police officer”
Why oh why would someone want to slander me in a bathroom?”
then, after tapping his finger on his cheek a few times he might say “ hmm. Democrats who couldnt win an election in Idaho if they bribed everyone MIGHT want to take me out”
wierd.
I imagine they're still going to use their hands.
