Senator Larry Craig will stay in office, despite his announcement to resign  
Friday, October 5th, 2007

This just in:  you can't trust Senator Larry Craig.  Nah, really?  On September 1st, Craig told us he was resigning from the Senate because it is what's "best for Idaho," after the bathroom stall scandal.  But yesterday, he decided, hell, he changed his mind.  After a Minnesota judge denied his request to withdraw his guilty plea over the airport sex sting, Craig said in a statement:

"I am extremely disappointed with the ruling issued today.  I am innocent of the charges against me.  I continue to work with my legal team to explore my additional legal options.  I will continue to serve Idaho in the United States Senate."

But Larry, last month you told us that "to pursue my legal options, as I continue to serve Idaho, would be an unwanted and unfair distraction of my job and for my Senate colleagues.  The people of Idaho deserve a Senator who can devote 100% of his time and effort to the critical issues of our state and nation."  Apparently, they don't anymore?

You can read what the Minnesota judge had to say, which was pretty hot, here.
