Was it Over When the Germans Bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell No!

As we now know, Larry Craig may have decided to fight this one out a little bit.

I'm not the only one who noticed on Saturday that he said it was his intent to resign from the Senate on 30-September rather than an all-out promise to follow through on that intent.

Personally, I feel bad for the guy. While I have neither the evidence nor the expertise to say that his guilty plea in the misdemeanor should be overturned, it's clear that the GOP threw him out like yesterday's laundry and don't care a bit for a man when he's been kicked (or kicked himself).

But maybe we're now finding out, again, that Larry Craig does not take certain things sitting down.

So my take, for both the sake of the great theater it will provide as well as the pleasure we might take in administering some of their own medicine back to them, Go Larry Craig! Make it a drop-down, drag-out fight. Let's air all the dirty laundry.

One can't help but wonder if the scene in Senator Craig's office over the weekend resembled this one from Animal House. At the end, some bright-eyed, eager staffer might have even quoted Otter...
In this case, I think we have to go all out.

I think this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture
be done on somebody's part.

We're just the guys to do it.

Well, you better just hope he doesn't blow it.

Didn't he do that already to get in this mess in the first place?

I didn't lose the subtly-awful sense of humour, cody... ;-)
