Idaho Senator Larry Craig clearly has no conscience. Shortly after pleading guilty to charges stemming from being arrested for soliciting sex from an undercover police officer in a Minnesota airport, Craig stated he would be resigning from his elected position. Then, he apparently had a change of heart and attempted to withdraw his guilty plea. Even as the request to rescind his plea has been declined, Craig has rejected the notion of leaving with a shred of dignity and stated he would fulfill the remainder of his term. We have to give credit to Senator Craig for bringing more awareness to his state and it is likely that he would be able to further tarnish the reputation of elected officials in general far more than a temporary replacement. “As I continued to work for Idaho over the past three weeks here in the Senate, I have seen that it is possible for me to work here effectively,” Mr. Craig said in his statement, saying that he believed he could do more for his state than an interim replacement.
