This one's too easy. There's been rumors about Larry Craig being gay since the 80's and we all know that where there's smoke there's usually fire. Yet putting aside the denial of his own inner demons, it's how much he's disgraced his family that's most important here, not the embarrassment and repercussions of being caught:
Pressure for Sen. Larry Craig to resign mounted within his own party on Wednesday, two days after disclosures the Republican lawmaker pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct in a men's toilet at an airport.
Republican presidential contender John McCain, an Arizona senator, told CNN the incident was "disgraceful" and added, "When you plead guilty to a crime, you shouldn't serve."
Other Republican lawmakers echoed McCain's call, while Senate Republican leaders asked Craig, 62, a third-term senator from Idaho, to step down temporarily from his major committee assignments. A White House spokesman said, "We are disappointed in the matter."
Craig pleaded guilty earlier this month to a misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct after his arrest in June in an undercover sting operation at the Minneapolis-St. Paul airport where police were targeting lewd behavior in the men's toilet. News of the case became public on Monday.
Just do what's best for your family and go away Larry, get whatever help you need. The GOP has enough problems without your perverted bathroom shenanigans hanging over their head.
