Larry Craig To Resign
Maybe as soon as today.
WASHINGTON (CNN)—Several well-placed GOP sources in Washington and Idaho have told CNN that embattled Republican Sen. Larry Craig is likely to resign soon, possibly as early as Friday.
A GOP source with knowledge of the situation told CNN’s Dana Bash that the Republican National Committee was poised to take the extraordinary step of calling on Craig to resign.
However, that move was put on hold, the source said, because top party leaders have received indications that Craig himself is preparing to step down.
Sources have confirmed that high-level meetings on the matter were being conducted in Idaho on Thursday.
I think this is for the best. Not because I think Craig was actually guilty of doing anything in that bathroom a reasonable person would call a crime, or because he’s gay but has a voting record against things like gay marriage, but rather because he cheated on his wife. And soliciting sex, gay or straight, in a bathroom is conduct unbecoming a US Senator.
And, for the record, I think Senator Vitter in Louisiana who cheated on his wife with a hooker should resign as well. I know cynics believe most politicians fool around on their wives, and that may or may not be true, but even if it is there is no justification for tolerating it in a national leader when absolute confirmation of it is put in front of our faces.
