This moron really needs to be gone.

He can’t even make up his mind.

Screw you, Larry. No pun intended...

Maybe he’s hoping he can be tapped for the 2nd spot on the ticket.

Thanks Arlen Spectre — just when we thought we had “moved on” we may have to get back into this mess for a long time to come.......

Don’t say “tapped” when referring to Senator Craig.

I guess the experience of the last few weeks has left a bad taste in his mouth.

I think he needs money. Letterman and Leno are quietly paying him to do this. Good for their business.

He must be reacting to the debate over hypocrisy, feeling that Republicans are getting a bad rap over this.

Damn wide stance to take. Resign, don’t resign. One foot in one stall one foot in another, and his @ss in a SF bath house. Stick a fork in it twinkle toes. You are done.

When you click on the headline link to this, it says the "page is no longer available". This is the blurb:

Sen. Larry Craig (R) opened the possibility of reversing his stated intention to resign from the Senate on Sept. 30 in a voice mail message obtained by Roll Call that the Idaho conservative inadvertently left at a wrong number.

Just a thought....what if this guy got set up and thought that a plea would settle it and the story would never come about?

Think about it. What a great way to trap a politician

Go into a bathroom, cop makes an allegation, you have to defend yourself (cops never lie, media scrutiny) take a plea....

I am not defending this guy, never even heard of him until this incident. But really, what a way to set someone up

I don’t think Craig should stay, I doubt he can be reelected, but it’s a shame the GOP is so cowardly. They could have said he did something wrong, but shouldnt resign over an allegation of attempted gay sex, unless Barney, Teddy and a lot of others are leaving with him.

He said the word "intent" to resign.

It was NOT a resignation speech.

He needs to suck it up, swallow his pride, get on his knees and beg for forgiveness. He might be able to slide back into his job.

This may be the reason...

Rep. Frank Sad to See Sen. Craig Leave Congress

Senator Larry Craig (R-Idaho) announced his resignation following exposure of his arrest during a sting operation at a Minnesota airport men’s room three months ago. The sting operation was initiated after numerous complaints of harassment by men seeking anonymous sex at the facility. Craig was alleged to have solicited sex from a police officer staking out the next toilet stall.

The resignation of Senator Craig came as a cruel blow to Representative Barney Frank (D-Mass.). “If only I had been the one in the next toilet stall this scandal could’ve been avoided,” Frank observed.

Frank, one of two openly gay members of Congress, said Craig “should have come to me. We could have made beautiful music together.”

Since Craig’s effective date of resignation is September 30, Frank expressed the hope that he would be able to give him a “proper send-off.”

I got to other better “supposes”:

1) Suppose he investigated and found there is some enormous pension windfall he gets if he hangs on to the end of his term.

2) Suppose other investigation indicated there were no law firms who would want to hire him so he was looking at total unemployment.
