Turns our Senator Craig is changing his firm, principled stand to resign from the Senate after voluntarily pleading guilty to lewd conduct (i.e. soliciting gay sex) in the Minneapolis/St. Paul airport mens' rooms.
First, it was a resignation by September 30; then, until a judge ruled on letting him attempt to withdraw his informed, voluntary guilty plea. Now, a Minnesota judge kindly reminded him that "The defendant, a career politician with a college education, is of at least above-average intelligence ... [h]e knew what he was saying, reading and signing."
Motion denied. :)
Well, at least he's consistent now. He's been lying to himself this far; lying to the public isn't that much of a stretch. I can't say I'm surprised for a typical member of his party.
Grr. Just had to get that off my chest.
