Day By Day by Chris Muir July 12, 2009 – BAD
Yes, Chris, the Obama gasping at the young girl’s ASSets is minor compared the Republican sex scandals as of late, including Senator John Ensign and Governor Mark Sanford.When will these POLS learn that the are living like Hamsters in a “BUBBLE” like the Big Brother television show and are being watched 24/7?
When the GOP can rid itself of all of the malevolents and sexual perverts maybe they can start winning some more seats in the Congress.
Lastly, former GOP Senator Larry Craig with his shoe tapping in public restrooms was just weird.

Senator Larry Craig Watch: The Book
U.S. Senator Larry Craig (R-ID) is pictured in these police booking photos taken on June 11, 2007. A Minnesota judge on October 4, 2007, refused to let Craig take back the guilty plea he made after a sex sting arrest.
Senator Larry Craig is writing a book which he hopes will be out within the next year.
In a live interview on NewsChannel 7 Tuesday night – Craig, 62 – told Dee Sarton that he is in the process of writing a book on energy – that will also talk about his time in Congress – and the events of the past year.
“There will be a bit of what’s happened in the last year, and the way it evolved,†Craig said. “I think that’s important for Idaho and those outside Idaho who are interested to know.”
He hopes the book will be on store shelves in the next year.
“We’re in the process of putting it together,†he said. “Usually those books take six or seven months to write, and another eight or nine months (to finish).â€
The video interview is here.
The GOP could ONLY wish the book to come out after the November elections. So, Senator there is no rush. Besides, your “Bobblefoot” toys ARE selling well on e-Bay.

Senator Larry Craig Watch: Craig Appeals Minnesota Judges Ruling
U.S. Senator Larry Craig (R-ID) is pictured in these police booking photos taken on June 11, 2007. A Minnesota judge on October 4, 2007, refused to let Craig take back the guilty plea he made after a sex sting arrest.
Craig Appeals Minn. Judge’s Ruling
U.S. Sen. Larry Craig of Idaho appealed to the Minnesota Court of Appeals on Monday in his ongoing attempt to withdraw his guilty plea in connection with an arrest in an airport bathroom sex sting.
Craig’s appeal was filed at the court in St. Paul less than two weeks after Hennepin County Judge Charles Porter refused to overturn the guilty plea, saying it “was accurate, voluntary and intelligent, and … supported by the evidence.”
Flap cannot imagine ANY appellate court overturning a trial court judge’s ruling in this minor matter.
At first this entire FLAP appeared to be hurting the GOP but as it drags on and with Craig’s refusal to resign (after announcing early he would quit) is evloving into “politics as usual” rather than an exclusive GOP scandal.
Moreover, the Idaho GOP has NO danger of losing this seat with demographics, registration and a number of front-line candidates ready to run in 2010.
Senator Craig can do what he likes. He is ONLY humiliating himself and his family.

Senator Larry Craig Watch: No Plea Revocation;Update – Craig Refuses to Resign
*****UPDATE*****
Craig vows to serve out his term in office
Idaho Sen. Larry Craig defiantly vowed to serve out his term in office on Thursday despite losing a court attempt to rescind his guilty plea in a men’s room sex sting.
“I have seen that it is possible for me to work here effectively,” Craig said in a written statement certain to disappoint fellow Republicans who have long urged him to step down.
Bring on the ethics investigations……
U.S. Senator Larry Craig (R-ID) is pictured in these police booking photos taken on June 11, 2007. A Minnesota judge on October 4, 2007, refused to let Craig take back the guilty plea he made after a sex sting arrest, making it likely the Idaho Republican will resign his Senate seat as planned.
Judge denies Craig motion to revoke plea
A Minnesota judge on Thursday rejected Sen. Larry Craig’s bid to withdraw his guilty plea in an airport sex sting, a major setback in Craig’s effort to clear his name and hang onto his Senate seat.
“Because the defendant’s plea was accurate, voluntary and intelligent, and because the conviction is supported by the evidence … the Defendant’s motion to withdraw his guilty plea is denied,” Hennepin County Judge Charles Porter wrote.
Craig can appeal Porter’s ruling, but it wasn’t immediately clear if he would.
Senator Craig’s arguments to overturn his plea were specious in any case. Craig had over two months to consider his plea and/or to fight for his innocence in the case.
Now, Craig should resign as he promised and retire from public life.
Republican Senator Larry Craig of Idaho is trailed by reporters as he makes his way to the Senate Chamber in the Capitol in Washington September 18, 2007. Craig, ensnared in a men’s room sex sting, was back on Capitol Hill for the first time since his June arrest was revealed last month.

Senator Larry Craig Watch: Craig Will NOT Resign September 30
Jason Gabbert (L) and Anthony Wright (R) protest in support of Sen. Larry Craig (R-ID), during arguments inside the Hennepin County District Court building in Edina, Minnesota, September 26, 2007. A Minnesota judge said on Wednesday that he would make no immediate decision on U.S. Sen. Larry Craig’s bid to take back the guilty plea he made after a sex-sting arrest, and the Idaho Republican left it unclear whether he would resign next week as he said he would.
Not good news for Senator John Ensign, Chair of the NRSC and the GOP Senate Caucus.
Larry Craig will stay in office until judge rules
Sen. Larry Craig (R-Idaho) will stay in office until the judge rules on his motion to withdraw his guilty plea, the senator said in a statement.
“Today was a major step in the legal effort to clear my name. The court has not issued a ruling on my motion to withdraw my guilty plea. For now, I will continue my work in the United States Senate for Idaho.”
Best case for the GOP was for Craig to go and go quickly. Now, the GOP will suffer a slow protracted pervert moment.
Stay tuned………
Republican Senator Larry Craig of Idaho walks from the Senate Chamber in the Capitol in Washington September 18, 2007.

Senator Larry Craig Watch: Craig LIKELY to Leave
Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport Police arrest-booking photo of Sen. Lary Craig, R-Idaho
After a brief flirtation with reconsidering his September 30 resignation from the United States Senate, Senator Larry Craig is now LIKELY to go.Sen. Larry Craig has all but dropped any notion of trying to complete his term, and is focused on helping Idaho send a new senator to Washington within a few weeks, his top spokesman said Thursday.
“The most likely scenario, by far, is that by October there will be a new senator from Idaho,” Craig spokesman Dan Whiting told the Associated Press.
The only circumstances in which Craig might try to complete his term, Whiting said, would require the overturning by Sept. 30 of his conviction for disorderly conduct in a men’s room at the Minneapolis airport, as well as Senate GOP leaders’ agreement to restore Craig’s committee leaderships posts taken away this week.
Those scenarios are unlikely, Whiting said.
Damn.
Is this Larry Craig FIASCO finally over?
Others say Craig should lawyer up and fight?
NO WAY……Good Riddance……..
Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport Police Sgt. Dave Karsnia is the officer who arrested Sen. Larry Craig.

Senator Larry Craig Watch: Reconsideration Or Sham Resignation?
Idaho’s Senior U.S. Senator Larry Craig takes a moment before he announces his resignation from the senate at the old Boise Depot train station overlooking downtown Boise, Idaho Saturday morning Sept. 1, 2007. Craig is reconsidering his decision to resign after his arrest in a Minnesota airport sex sting and may still fight for his Senate seat, his spokesman said Tuesday evening Sept. 4, 2007. ‘It’s not such a foregone conclusion anymore, that the only thing he could do was resign,’ Sidney Smith, Craig’s spokesman in Idaho’s capital, told The Associated Press.
Senator Larry Craig’s accidental voicemail
Listen to the accidental voicemail here:
“Yes, Billy, this is Larry Craig calling, you can reach me on my cell. Arlen Specter is now willing to come out in my defense arguing that all he know that I’ve been railroaded and all that. Having all that we’ve reshaped my statement to say it is my intent to resign on September 30. I think it is very important for you to make as bold a statement as you are comfortable with this afternoon. I hope you could make it in front of the cameras. I think it would ride the story that I am willing to fight that I have quality people out there fighting in my defense and that this thing could take a new turn or a new shape, it has that potential. Anyway give me a buzz, or give Mike a buzz on that, we are headed to my press conference now. Thank you, bye.
Flap does not mean to sound cynical but was Senator Larry Craig’s resignation on Saturday a SHAM?
The Idaho embarassment that keeps on giving.
Senator, you GOTTA GO.
From Hotline: The Damage to the GOP and its Presidential candidates:
WashingtonPost.com’s Cillizza: “That is not going to be met with a lot of smiles, I don’t think, in the Republican leadership, who were, frankly, glad to see him go.” More: “Every person who is running for president and every member of the Republican leadership is going to get asked 1,000 times between now and when Larry Craig makes this clear, what should Senator Craig do. Is it right for him to rethink resigning. It’s just a problem the Republicans frankly don’t want to have right now” (“Countdown,” MSNBC, 9/4).
Pat Buchanan: “My guess is his family said, If you didn’t do this, why are you resigning? Why didn’t you fight this thing?” (“Live with Dan Abrams,” MSNBC, 9/4).

Senator Larry Craig Watch: Reconsideration?
Sen. Larry Craig, R-Idaho, center, makes his way past members of the media as his wife Suzanne, second from left, receives a hug from a supporter as they leave the Boise Depot train station in Boise, Idaho, Saturday, Sept. 1, 2007, after Craig announced his resignation from the Senate. Craig’s resignation completed a stunning downfall that began Monday with the disclosure that he pleaded guilty to a reduced charge following his arrest during a sex sting in a Minneapolis airport men’s room.
Senator Craig is RECONSIDERING his resignation from the United States Senate.
For the good of his family, the Senate, Idaho and the GOP, Craig should let it go.
He can pursue his legal options after his resignation. Craig is “DEAD MONEY” if he ever thinks he could win re-election to another Senate term.
So, what is the point?

Senator Larry Craig Watch: Craig Resigns
Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport Police arrest-booking photo of Sen. Lary Craig, R-Idaho
Senator Larry Craig resigns effective September 30 over a Minneapolis men’s room sex sting.
Sen. Larry Craig, surrounded by his family, Gov. Butch Otter, State Schools Superintendent Tom Luna and Congressman Bill Sali, resigned from the U.S. Senate, effective Sept. 30.
He thanked his family for supporting him, and thanked Idahoans for letting him serve as senator. “I am grateful for the opportunity they have given me.â€
With his wife at his side and Otter standing behind him, Craig said, “It is with sadness and deep regret that I announce it is my intention to resign from the Senate effective Sept. 30.â€
And who will succeed Craig?
Otter likely to appoint Risch to replace Larry Craig in Senate
The Senator should have announced his retirement after he pled guilty in June. But, blind ambition and arrogance lead him to embarass his wife, family, GOP and fellow Idahoans.
