First he says he's guilty, then decides it was a bad decision. Next he
says he's going to resign, then changes his mind. That may have also have
been a 'bad' decision.

Even so, is this the kind of man that should be representing anyone? He
clearly can't make good decidions. Why does he always need to be
changing his mind?

======================





BOISE, Idaho - Sen. Larry Craig is reconsidering his decision to resign
after his arrest in a Minnesota airport sex sting and may still fight for
his Senate seat, his spokesman said Tuesday evening.

"It's not such a foregone conclusion anymore, that the only thing he
could do was resign," said Sidney Smith, Craig's spokesman in Idaho's
capital.

"We're still preparing as if Sen. Craig will resign Sept. 30, but the
outcome of the legal case in Minnesota and the ethics investigation will
have an impact on whether we're able to stay in the fight - and stay in
the Senate."

Craig, a Republican who has represented Idaho in Congress for 27 years,
announced Saturday that he intends to resign from the Senate on Sept. 30.
But since then, he's hired a prominent lawyer to investigate the
possibility of reversing his plea, his spokesman said.

Craig was a no-show Tuesday as Congress reconvened after a summer break
and it wasn't clear whether he'll return at all since deciding to resign
over his guilty plea in a sex sting this summer at the Minneapolis
airport.

Another spokesman, Dan Whiting in Washington, said Tuesday that Craig was
expected to spend the week in Idaho as the Senate votes on spending bills
for veterans and other programs. Whiting did not rule out Craig's
returning to Washington before the end of the month.

A telephone call Craig received last week from Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa.,
urging him to consider fighting for his seat is affecting Craig's
decision to reconsider his resignation, Smith said.

"It was a little more cut and dried a few days ago," Smith said. "There
weren't many options. He was basically going to have to step aside. Now,
there's a little more to it."

Specter urges patience
On Tuesday, Specter, senior Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee,
suggested Craig's GOP colleagues who pressured him last week to resign
should re-examine the facts surrounding his arrest June 11.

"The more people take a look at the situation, there may well be second
thoughts," said Specter, a former prosecutor. If Craig had not pleaded
guilty in August to a reduced charge and instead demanded a trial, "I
believe he would have been exonerated," Specter said.

Craig gave up his senior positions on the Senate Veterans Affairs
Committee and the Appropriations veterans subcommittee last week, at the
request of Senate Republican leaders. The Senate began debating the
veterans spending bill

I'm sure you've noticed how, over the past few years, toilet stalls'
privacy walls are being expanded in some retail stores to block peepers or
footsy-players, by having side walls from floor level to ceiling.
I could tell you about at least two incidents where a peeper had some fun
with me, but suffice to say I rarely use public toilets except to pee in.
I no longer use urinals, if at all possible, for fear of assault and/or
robbery. I'd advise anyone, male or female, to carry a pocket pepper spray
unit and/or stun gun.
Another comment on the downward moral direction our civilization is
heading.
