Hee!
Larry Craig (R-NOT GAI!) won't resign, even though he lost his bid to withdraw his guilty plea:
"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.
Yes, because indicating an interest in gay sex, bad. Indicating you've paid for straight sex, which is a felony, hunky dory. (Like Vitter (R-It's between him, God, and his wife).) Gotta love Republican "ethics".
But wait!
But in the meantime, he said: "I will continue my effort to clear my name in the Senate Ethics Committee - something that is not possible if I am not serving in the Senate."
The ethics committee has already signaled it is reviewing the facts of Craig's case, taking the step after the Senate Republican leadership requested it.
Craig's decision to stay and fight raises the strong possibility of public hearings - virtually certain to be televised live - centered on the issue of gay sex.
Excellent.
