Senator In Sex Sting Now Likely To Quit (Larry Craig)
NBC ^ | 12:44 pm EDT September 6, 2007

WASHINGTON -- It now looks like Sen. Larry Craig is going to leave office after all.

His top spokesman said Thursday that Craig has just about dropped any idea of trying to complete his term, and that he is focused on helping Idaho send a new senator to Washington within a few weeks.

(snip)

Craig's situation came up in Wednesday night's Republican presidential debate.

Sen. Sam Brownback of Kansas and Rep. Duncan Hunter of California both called for his reignation.

"What I think is good about it is that he's taking responsibility in the sense of resigning from office, and I think he ought to stick with that," Brownback said.

Adding that he wanted the Republican party to "get to the bottom of this," Brownback said, "we shouldn't hide people. We shouldn't walk away from family values for fear that instances like this happen within our party."

Is “likey to quit” the same as “intent to resign”.

Sounds like parsing to me.

I think it is more like his “intent” to go to a certain bathroom at the airport.

He ought to quit stalling and take a stance. He really needs to decide which side of the divide he’s on.

I wouldn't be surprised to learn that Arlen got a significant number of messages telling him to STFU and stop supporting the pervert.

Interesting typo.

As an aside, it would probably be good if the Senator from Kansas never gets involved in a homosexual scandal. :^)

Larry Craig is now the flip flop champion taking the title over from John F. Kerry.
