Arlen Specter: what the GOP needs is round-the-clock coverage of “Wide Stance” Larry Craig for the next month
How would this possibly be good for Larry Craig, the Republican Party, the Senate, or the country?
Senator Arlen Specter said Idaho Republican Larry Craig should try to withdraw his guilty plea to disorderly conduct in connection with an incident in an airport men’s room and fight the case.
“I think he could be vindicated,’’ Specter, the senior Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, said on the “Fox News Sunday’’ program.
Specter, of Pennsylvania, said that Craig “hasn’t resigned’’ from the Senate, only that he “intends to resign’’ as of Sept. 30. That gives Craig a month to fight the case in court, Specter said. If the case went to trial, Specter said Craig “wouldn’t be convicted of anything.’’
I sincerely hope Specter is caught violating farm animals in time for the GOP to nominate a replacement for the 2008 elections.
