O.k. all you legal minds out there, how in the heck do you get charged with a crime, plead guilty to said crime and then a month later say "I'm going to retract my guilty plea"

Just another fine example of someone who can't own up to the responsibility of their own actions.

His political career is toast anyway....he just can't see it yet.

He's trying to get a Do Over on a bad situation.

The more he splits hairs over the details of the incident, the more and more guilty he looks. Just go away.

I agree but I think it's someone elses cork he soaks.

He's toast and all he is doing is hurting his own state and position. He should have followed through on his exit plan and cut the whining.

Unfortunately here, he's guilty without ever really seeing a courtroom. Had he contested the charges, he would have been guilty by the public eye regardless of how it turned out. So he tried to take the easy way out and plead to lesser charges in the hope that it would go away.

And it almost did. We are now only hearing about it months later. This man now realizes that he was sunk no matter which way it went and wants to clear his name.

Admitting to a homosexual sexual act in public didn't bother him when nobody else knew.

Apparently it matters to him greatly now that everybody knows.

Fickle thing, these morals.

Are you saying that the "liberal media" branded him guilty and that he's actually innocent and was trying to give a reach around...err I mean reach for that roll of toilet paper?

He was also investigated in the early '80s during that whole Congressional Page sex scandal fiasco.

I'm not saying that they did brand him of anything. Or that he's innocent. Just that he thought he was taking the easiest way out.

*Sen. Craig enter airport to fly home after resigning*

[Airport Announcement]Attention All Airline Customers. Homeland Security has just raised this airport's terror alert to Fuscha. That is all.

You know, the saddest thing about this whole deal is that Craig, a US Senator, did not know what was in the constitution he was sworn to uphold.

Quote

Article 1, Section 6
They {Senators and Reps} shall in all cases, except treason, felony and breach of the peace, be privileged from arrest during their attendance at the session of their respective Houses, and in going to and returning from the same; and for any speech or debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other place.

As he was returning to Idaho from a session of the Senate, he was unarrestable, let alone convictable.

All Craig needed to quote the Constitution and he would have been free.

The only recourse for the Minn. police would have been to bring this charge to the Senate.
