Press-Tribune Rakes Craig Over Coals

Full editorial here

Forget that Craig denied doing what the undercover police officer said he did.
Forget that the “I have a wide stance” senator handed the arresting officer his Senate business card.
Forget that weeks later the “I’m not gay” politician pleaded guilty to a little hanky panky.
Forget the fact that when word finally leaked out about the arrest and conviction, Craig pitifully blamed his woes on the big bad Idaho Statesman.
Forget that Craig told Idahoans in early September that he would resign at the end of the month.
Forget that Craig delayed his resignation until after the judge ruled — just in case the court could possibly believe his story.
Forget that the judge refused to throw out the senator’s guilty plea to a disorderly conduct charge in an airport bathroom.
Come on Larry, does Idaho really deserve unending potty jokes on late-night television? Or how about the videos on YouTube?/Idaho Press-Tribune
