Senator Larry Craig Resigns
Following the release of his post-arrest interview tapes on Thursday, Senator Larry Craig resigned from office on Saturday. Craig pled guilty to one count of disorderly conduct following his arrest in a men’s bathroom after police say that he attempted to solicit sex from an undercover officer. The GOP, his own party, had called for his resignation.
In his press conference on Saturday, Craig stated that he did not want to be a distraction. He added:
Few people have had the privilege and the pleasure to represent Idaho for as many years as I have. I have enjoyed every moment. The people of Idaho deserve a senator who can devote 100 percent of his time and effort to the critical issues of our state and of our nation.
Here is an entertaining video that inter splices Craig’s denial of being gay in his earlier press conference with the Avenue Q song “If You Were Gay.”

Dating aren’t hard to just understand. All it takes just takes a little communication on both’s parts! I’m appreciative some ONE realized that!
