He ain’t going nowhere. When you are addicted to power it is hard to let go. It looks like Senator Larry Craig is not going to leave the Senate at the end the month as he hinted a couple of weeks ago. it looks like he is going to wait until the judge hands down his verdict on whether or not he should get a retrial.
BTW, he shouldn’t get a retrial. If his judgment is so BAD that he pleads guilty to something that he is not guilty of then he needs to be removed from the Senate for being too stupid to govern. On the other hand, if he was soliciting sex like I think he was, he needs to be removed from office for being a 2-faced liar. There’s his choice. I look forward to him choosing.
I feel pity for Larry Craig …
to me, he was a victim of a religion that told him what he was feeling was wrong. he followed the religion to the letter — marrying someone he felt no passion for and trying to eradicate from the world what he was told was a sin — all the while still feeling the urges he was born with, and giving into them.
plus, if the priest who came forward to say that he fondled a young larry craig can be believed — and one does not think he was paid off — craig was probably introduced to homosexuality by an authority figure of the very religion that condemned it in the first place.
thats a hypocrisy that produced a hypocricy.
also, what was craig really doing? he solicited what he thought was a consenting adult for sex.
big deal.
and, yes, he was a hypocrite, but most of us are hypocrites in one way or another, and politicians are practically all corrupt liars anyway …
and in a very, very weird way, he wasnt a hypocrite. he believed homosexuals shouldnt marry, he endorsed only marriage between a man and a woman.
well, he married a woman …
You’re probably right about Craig.
Thanks for your comments.
