(and wow, an elected official NOT keeping their word. Imagine that......(rolls eyes)

Sen. Craig vows to remain in office for term

"Craig denied that in an interview with the officer after his arrest. But he pleaded guilty on Aug. 8. He later said he “panicked” in entering his plea, believing that it would keep the matter quiet. The Idaho Statesman had been holding back an article on rumors about his sexuality, and Craig said in court papers that he feared the arrest would trigger the story.

Porter said that was not a good reason to withdraw the plea. Any pressure Craig was under “was entirely perceived by the defendant and was not a result of any action by the police, the prosecutor, or the court,” he said.

The Capitol Hill newspaper Roll Call reported Craig’s arrest and guilty plea on Aug. 27. Fellow Republican senators soon called on Craig to resign, and conservative groups, which had given him near-perfect approval ratings, abandoned him quickly."

So wonder if Sen. Tappy McWidestance will try to appeal this decision.....

The funny thing is he's likely to be recalled if he isn't censured by the Congress.

Maybe, given this whole thing started in a men's room stall, the appropriate saying is "Shit or get off the pot."
