I just heard the "This American Life" story with which I'm sure you're quite familiar. http://www.thislife.org/Radio_Episode.aspx?episode=344

I agree eric. I’ve been saying it for a while now. Craig’s had his eye on that prize before the sting even came about. My sources tell me he was seriously considering retirement before June for the very reason that as young as he is he would make much more money than if he tried to do the same after another term. The disclosure of his guilty plea threatened all that and he’s digging in just to preserve his retirement plans. He’s doing so with the only thing he has left to bargain with, his status as a US Senator. In so doing, he displays a very callous disregard for his constituency that he’s dragging through the mud with him. The fact that his Idaho colleagues are giving him a pass shows how much they care for you as well.

I think Popkey's theory is a good one. http://www.idahostatesman.com/popkey/story/185905.html

Well, the story has been on all the news, the Daily Show, the Colbert Report, Jay Leno, Countdown with Keith Olbermann, etc. Larry looked like a idiot on every airing, or at least like a person in the early stages of dementia.

We have to pay this guy? Kind of like making payments on a car that died. Of course, he will still get his pension – a whole lot more than I get from Social Security that I paid into for 45+ years.

Sure as hell makes me proud to be an Idahoan.
What will it take to make him go away? This whole deal was almost starting to slow down when Old Lar decided to give the story a fresh kick in the butt by offering himself up for a new round of questioning. Amazing. There must be some reason for his actions – or not.

Mrs Craig said they have had several friends who have been harrased at that airport……

What the hell is going on there, and who is doing all the harrasing?

Porcupine…

It’s too hard to reach under the divider when you use a urinal. First you have to get down on your knees…oh, wait. Never Mind.

FYI, Sisyphus is Scott Picken…Channel 6 News Director.

EDITOR NOTE–NOT! Picken would use his own name and Sis has been around the GUARDIAN a lot longer.

Right you were Colleen. They talked about it more than I thought they would. But it was hardly a cross examination. Would have been nice if someone could have pointed out the myriad inconsistencies like the one Gordon picked up on.

“Obsequious”…isn’t that the name of a yacht docked next to Larry Craig’s Bertram? U.S.S. Obsequious? And wasn’t that a presidential yacht, too…that FDR and Nixon took out on the Potomac? It’s named after some kind of tree? I’m pretty sure.
