Good, he did nothing wrong except his party does not like to associate with anyone like this, or the African American people.

If Craig had not been such a damned hypocrite about homosexuality, this would be much less of a story. The GOP incumbents do not want this poster boy around as they campaign.

'Other Republicans stopped short of calling on Mr. Craig to give up his seat, but they were clearly dismayed that he would stay in office, citing the distraction his presence could provide as well as the potential harm to the party and the Senate.

“I can’t think of anything good about it,” said Senator Saxby Chambliss, Republican of Georgia. “You don’t want to know what I really feel,” said Senator Jim DeMint, Republican of South Carolina.

Mr. Craig had his defenders among the Republicans, including Senators Michael Crapo, also of Idaho, and Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania, both of whom said Mr. Craig was within his rights to remain and try to clear his name.'

(How does he possibly 'clear his name'???)

Important questions remain unanswered: Will Larry retain his Senatorial rest room key, or must he use the visitors facilities? Does he still have Senate library privileges where he's been suspected of bending the pages? Will he be receiving therapy to correct his 'wide-stance'? Stay tuned...
