It’s over.
Craig was done in solely by his own behavior. The rest is irrelevant.
The republican party is in serious trouble right now.
Craig was either lying when he signed his plea agreeing to be convicted and/or he is lying now saying he’s not guilty. In either case, he’s proven to be a liar. And as was already mentioned, it’s over.
But, then again, wouldn't the bad guys figure out who he was after a while?
Far as I know, Craig has not said the policeman lied.
If there is a case to be made on Craig’s behalf, it’s for him to do so, and so far he hasn’t.
Whether or not Craig has acted like a guilty man, is open to dispute. But he sure hasn’t acted like an innocent one. Pleading guilty to a lesser charge without much of a push, and then resigning from the US Senate about as readily; would you say he’s just shy or easily manipulated?
If the cops set up a DUI checkpoint, stats are kept and published. Where does one go to get the fagola stats that must be kept at the FUI checkpoints?
Ick.
Let it go.
How would he know?
This is really sad. Such a denial of reality.
Face it, folks, there’s a lot of perverts and sexual miscreants in the GOP, from Craig to Vitter to Ken Mehlman to (probably) Lindsay Graham, and it’s pathetic to watch people dance around saying this cop is a bad guy, everyone reaches for imaginary toilet paper squares lying on the floor next to the toilet, and tapping the guy in the next stall’s foot is simply a way of saying “Hey! How ‘bout those Red Sox!”
Give it up...the guy was cruising for homo sex, and thank God he’s gone.

I listened to the tape of the interview and I am not convinced Craig lied. http://my.break.com/media/view.aspx?ContentID=359278
I’m not defending him, I just think there’s been a quick rush to judgment and acceptance of the cop’s story.
If he had used the Clinton defense, it would have been Craig's word against the officer's word--with absolutely NO proof.
Heck, Clinton turned our nation's highest office into his "VERY OWN PERSONAL MASSAGE PARLOR" with a 22-year old, low-level, star-struck, flunkie who was also a subordinate--and he stayed in office! Amazing.

My general philosophy on public restrooms was summed up by the late Derek Jackson, the Oxford professor and jockey, in his advice to a Frenchman about to visit Britain. “Never go to a public lavatory in London,” warned Professor Jackson. ‘I always pee in the street. You may be fined a few pounds for committing a nuisance, but in a public lavatory you risk two years in prison because a policeman in plain clothes says you smiled at him.’ “

Anyone know the Cop’s political party???
Really? Do people really pick up toilet paper from a public restroom floor?
It doesn’t matter. Craig pled guilty. It’s over and done with, period. Hand wringing is is hand wringing, nothing more nothing less.
The law of unintended consequences dictates: Never, ever admit to something you didn’t do.
Next!
Imagine being a police officer and spending your shifts in bathroom stalls trolling for queers. I wonder if he likes his job or is he homophobic?
Time to move on.
“Is it Sen. Craig or airport policeman Sgt. Karsnia who is lying?”
Yes.
