Sen. Kerry, you are officially relieved as Flip-Flopper-in-Chief. You have nothing on Sen. Craig.Sen. Larry Craig of Idaho may reconsider his resignation if he is cleared of a disorderly conduct charge to which he pleaded guilty last month, his spokesman told CNN on Tuesday.
Dan Whiting said it was still the GOP senator's intention to resign effective September 30, "however, he is fighting these charges and should he be cleared before then, he may -- I emphasize may -- not resign."
Craig announced his resignation Saturday after almost a week of speculation.
The Republican senator was arrested in a restroom in June at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport on suspicion of making sexual advances to an undercover police officer in the next stall.
Craig denied the accusation, and is heard doing so on an audiotape released by police.
But on August 8 he pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct.
Since then, Craig has said he regrets pleading guilty and has hired legal counsel to try to get the guilty plea expunged.
As a voter, I'd want him out of office not for his sexual preferences (don't give a rat's ass if he's gay or not), I'd want him gone because he can't seem to make up his mind. I think he has a mental problem. He's a fuckin' nutjob.
