BREAKING: Sens. Coleman And McCain Call For Craig To Resign
BREAKING: Sens. Coleman And McCain Call For Craig To Resign
Sens. Norm Coleman (R-MN) and John McCain (R-AZ) have become the first members of the Senate to call for Sen. Larry Craig (R-ID) to resign over his arrest for alleged “lewd conduct” in an airport bathroom. Craig, who was arrested in June, pled guilty to “disorderly conduct” charges on August 8, though the plea was kept secret until Roll Call newspaper broke the story on Monday.
The AP reports, “Sen. Norm Coleman of Minnesota, where Craig was arrested, became the first Senate Republican to say Craig should leave office. ‘Senator Craig pled guilty to a crime involving conduct unbecoming a senator,’ he said in a statement. ‘He should resign.’”
In an interview with CNN’s John King this afternoon, McCain said he thinks Craig “should resign”:
JOHN MCCAIN: I believe that he — that he pled guilty and he had the opportunity to plead innocent. So I think he should resign.
JOHN KING: And suppose he comes back to Washington and says, “I want to serve.”
MCCAIN: That’s — that will be a decision that he will make and most importantly, the people of the state of Idaho. But my opinion is that when you plead guilty to a crime, then you shouldn’t serve. And that’s not a moral stand. That’s not a holier than thou. It’s just a factual situation. I don’t try to judge people. but in this case, it’s clear that it was disgraceful.
Watch it:
Earlier, Rep. Peter Hoekstra (R-MI) became the first lawmaker to call for Craig’s resignation.
UPDATE: At the Senate GOP leadership’s behest, Craig also stepped down today from his senior position on the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee, as well as his ranking position on two subcommittees.

an inconvenient truth
August 29th, 2007 at 3:51 pmWhile you’re at it, why don’t the rest of you freaky, hypocritical conservatives resign as well.
August 29th, 2007 at 3:51 pmTruth hurts. Hang around Larry. You’re a perfect symbol for your party.
August 29th, 2007 at 3:51 pmClinton “values” Hillary then pokes Monica:)
August 29th, 2007 at 3:52 pmInteresting that McCain believes it’s not the crime, but the guilty plea, that matters. That would presumably permit Vitter to keep serving — no plea, right? Nevermind that Vitter as much as confessed to a crime, while Craig pled to — what exactly? Footsie?
August 29th, 2007 at 3:53 pmMy money says Craig goes before Vitter - unless Larry Flynt comes up with another hooker pretty quick.
August 29th, 2007 at 3:53 pmThis is insane. It’s a low-level crime, and the behavior in question generally happens between consenting adults. Most Republicans do much worse before breakfast. Do they honestly think that anyone looks to politicans for moral leadership anymore, especially Republicans?
August 29th, 2007 at 3:53 pmThe Republicans are coming out quickly to call for Craig’s resignation. I am wondering if we won’t soon experience a “Hastert moment” not unlike the Foley scandal. You know — the word will come out that Craig has been reported to party leadership in the Congress for years and no one did a thing about it.
It wouldn’t surprise me. As usual, the crime for a Republican is not in the doing; it’s in the discovery.

Ah, more Clinton Derangement Syndrome… Poor thing, can’t even focus on how many closet cases, perverts and sex predators in his own midst, he has to instead attack Clinton for having an affair! Wow, what a loser!
August 29th, 2007 at 3:53 pmDidn’t McCain plead guilty in Abscam?
August 29th, 2007 at 3:55 pmColeman, go stand under a decrepit bridge with the rest of these stinking trolls.
McPain, you’re the antithesis of perfect hindsight.
Didn’t your NC campaign manager just get busted for crack?
You’re both as unfit for congress as Craig, but will proclaim how holy you are to anyone that will listen.
Coleman’s getting nervous that Franked is being well received by voters.
McCain sees himself pulling a Titanic in the GOP campaign.
They both need to be in the news, even if they’re dissing one of their own.
Republican values: ‘If it’s not about me, it’s not important’.
August 29th, 2007 at 3:55 pmThe reason McCain/Coleman are calling for Craig’s resignation is because Republicans ARE the party of moral/family values, and this code is so stringent that Repubs even want to exclude fellow Repubs if there’s merely the appearance of a misdeed, instead of actual proof. Contrast this with Demoncratic criminal-abetters who tolerate pedophiles/felons/traitors/ to stay in their party. Some notorious examples of Demoncratic aiding and abetting of misconduct include: illegal, homosexual intercourse and rape between Gerry Studds in the 80s and a 17-year-old page (underage in Mass.). Bawney Frank who’s homosexual boyfriend rang a prostitution ring out of his apartment (Demoncrats didn’t censure him and kept voting this scum back into office). Will Jefferson with his $100000 in his freezer. BJ Clinton chronically abusing his power to sexually harass ANYTHING in a skirt (not to mention take advantage of a naive intern). That said, McCain/Coleman are too PC for demanding Craig’s resignation since all Craig did is plead guilty to a misdemeanor, not any lewd, sexual conduct.

“The Senate Republican went on to say Craig should leave office. ‘Senator Craig pled guilty to a crime involving conduct unbecoming a senator,”
Question?
What about Senator Vitter-LA wearing diapers with hookers and helping to support a New Orleans Brothel - is this conduct unbecoming a Senator? And a strong possiblity of a luv child also? Hmmmm?
Senator Coleman - why no call for a Vitter resignation from you then?
Senator McCain - same question ??
Repugs are hypocrites - anything like this is all about politics and nothing about thier so-called high morals.
See - Repugs want Craig out beacuse they like another candidate in Idaho better. In Louisana the Dem Governor would appoint the next Senator - so Vitter stays - diapers and all - See? politics baby….
August 29th, 2007 at 3:56 pmI give up. If the Republican standard is that of no second chances, then so be it.
August 29th, 2007 at 3:57 pmThat would be ‘Franken’ in post #12
August 29th, 2007 at 3:57 pmi call for norm coleman’s teeth to resign.
August 29th, 2007 at 3:58 pmI believe he’s up for reelection next year. They probably think it’ll make them look good to force his resignation, then try to install a “cleaner†candidate for the next election to try to hold the seat.
Pure political posturing.
August 29th, 2007 at 3:58 pmWas it McCain that taped Norm Coleman having sex with Larry Craig in that stall?
August 29th, 2007 at 3:58 pmBoth of these clowns will clutch at any straw to keep from going down the toilet in their own respective restroom stall.
August 29th, 2007 at 3:59 pmSenator Vitter, however, hasn’t been charged with any crime. He therefore doesn’t need to resign.
August 29th, 2007 at 3:59 pmI can they say Griag must resign but not say the same for Vitter? If there was a Democratic Governor in Idaho, there’s no way anyone in the GOP is demanding Craig resign. Just like if there was a GOP governor in La, Sen. Vitter would have been forced by the party to step down. THIS is the story about the GOP and these scandals - they respond based on perceived political gain/loss rather than on actual moral outrage.
August 29th, 2007 at 3:59 pmVitter should resign too. family values my ass!
August 29th, 2007 at 3:59 pmCNN is reporting that Craig is stepping down from his committee assignments.
August 29th, 2007 at 4:00 pmSenator Coleman - why no call for a Vitter resignation from you then?
Senator McCain - same question ??
Vitter is not a homosexual.
August 29th, 2007 at 4:00 pm“He therefore doesn’t need to resign.”
He just needs his diaper changed.
August 29th, 2007 at 4:00 pmHe should resign. The plea agreement, which can be found here,
is damning–look especially at
Item 3:
.
(he knows he was cruising….)
item 4
item 5
and this, from item 9:
(emphasis mine).
Do over, Sen. Craig? Your signing off on this and your status as a sentient senator (as opposed to say Sen. Bunning) will not make it likely for any judge to allow a motion to set aside your guilty plea.
Does potato bread make nice toast?
August 29th, 2007 at 4:00 pmFlush Coleman down with Turds McCain!
August 29th, 2007 at 4:00 pmDoes he have to resign his NRA board seat, too?
August 29th, 2007 at 4:00 pmHow can they say Craig must resign but not say the same for Vitter?

Comment by m12 — August 29, 2007 @ 4:00 pm
And according to Craig, neither is he.
The difference is that we KNOW Vitter engaged a prostitute - a CRIMINAL offense, but his own omission. It may not have been a ‘gay’ prostitute, unlike the one that was engaged for George - but hey, it was still immoral.
So let me get this clear, you only think being ‘potentially’ gay is worthy of ejection from the senate - but not engaging in illegal acts involving prostitution?
Wow, I just LOVE those family values you wingnuts have!

August 29th, 2007 at 4:04 pmI can they say Griag must resign but not say the same for Vitter?
That’s easy. It’s more about the fact that he plead guilty. This is an admission of guilt, something no republican is supposed to do if they want to stay in the club. Whether or not he actually did anything is irrelevant.
August 29th, 2007 at 4:05 pmSenator Vitter, however, hasn’t been charged with any crime. He therefore doesn’t need to resign.
Comment by Statistico — August 29, 2007 @ 3:59 pm
Yet he admitted to committing one. So that’s what it takes for you wingnut? A CONVICTION? Even if the person admits to engaging in prostitution - that’s not the same as being convicted of trying to have sex in a public place?
Wow, love those family values!

What nonsense is this, exactly?
August 29th, 2007 at 4:08 pmA Democratic fundraiser who has raised $1 million for presidential candidate Hillary Clinton says he has done nothing wrong and has asked no favors in return, but Norman Hsu didn’t mention that he’s a wanted man.
A California prosecutor says Hsu pleaded no contest to grand theft, was sentenced to three years in prison and then disappeared, The Los Angeles Times reported Wednesday.

“He is a fugitive,” Ronald Smetana, who handled the case for the state attorney general, said in an interview with the newspaper. “Do you know where he is?”

However Vitter DID commit a crime, and he admitted to doing it. So did Craig.

Comment by Bob
Republican congressional aide Jeffrey ‘Boys over Booze’ Nielsen arrested for having sex with a 14-year old boy.
August 29th, 2007 at 4:18 pmLet’s not forget, Bob:
- In his statement to police, Ted Kennedy claimed that after escaping from his submerged automobile, he “repeatedly dove down to the car in an attempt to see if the passenger was still in the car.”
- At the inquest, the Senator elaborated on his story. “I was fully aware that I was doing everything that I possibly could to get the girl out of the car. And that my head was throbbing and my neck was aching and I was breathless, and at the time, hopelessly exhausted.” When he abandoned his rescue attempt, he let himself float to shore. “And I sort of crawled and staggered up some place and was very exhausted and spent on the grass.” He said he rested there on the banking for 15 to 20 minutes.
Beginning with his first statement to police ( view statement ) Kennedy has always maintained that he delayed reporting the accident to authorities because he was “confused and in shock” after the accident. The Senator’s statements regarding his rescue attempts suggest that in fact he was quite aware that Miss Kopechne’s life was in peril and that immediate action was in order.

August 29th, 2007 at 4:31 pmRepublican advertising consultant Carey Lee Cramer was sentenced to six years in prison for molesting two 8-year old girls, one of whom appeared in an anti-Gore television commercial.
Hey Bob!! I bet you like them values huh?
August 29th, 2007 at 4:31 pmSen. Ted Kennedy, D-Mass., even leaving aside the Chappaquiddick incident, is famously promiscuous — so much so that he once dubbed himself “Tyrannosaurus Sex” and joked that his nickname was the “floating screw.” Sen. Daniel Inouye, D-Hawaii, has allegedly sexually harassed or abused at least 10 women. Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., reportedly engaged in a sexual affair with an engaged lobbyist, Ron Dotzauer, then gave him a personal loan to help him with his subsequent divorce and threw cash his way.
And of course, allegations of corruption aren’t limited to those of the sexual variety. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., has been mired in financial dirty dealing for years. Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., likely bought hundreds of votes in a Hasidic New York neighborhood ….

August 29th, 2007 at 4:32 pmJust listened to a disgusting interview on http://www.idahostatesman.com about a man who describes an encounter with Craig in a rest room at Union Station. This wasn’t Craig’s first time with gay sex, that’s for sure. Yesterday’s comical “he who doth protest too much” charade was pretty pathetic. The issue is not whether this moron is gay or not and who could care if he is - the central issue is that he engaged in criminal activity - that’s the issue here.
Just having his sicko face on the tube is tanking the Repukes even further down the tubes.

August 29th, 2007 at 4:33 pm#115. Thanks for that pic! Funny thing is, Bush still wears that outfit around the Oral Office when Gannon drops by.
August 29th, 2007 at 4:34 pm“The reason McCain/Coleman are calling for Craig’s resignation is because Republicans ARE the party of moral/family values, and this code is so stringent that Repubs even want to exclude fellow Repubs if there’s merely the appearance of a misdeed, instead of actual proof.”
Oh right. Like Dennis Hastert when he found out about Mark Foley. He *immediately* moved to get Foley out of congress and get the republic party back on the right moral footing.
Oh. Wait. You mean he didn’t?
Nevermind….

August 29th, 2007 at 4:34 pmHi Raven! Nifty how Laura (miss goody two face) managed to have her vehicular homicide expunged from the records, isn’t it? Unfortunately for her, the internet has all of the details. Ex boyfriend run down at an intersection?? Now what’s the probability of that occurring?? Right, Laura! And the moon is made of green cheese, too.
This makes perfect sense now - how two sadistic criminals fall into lockstep with each other. It’s the Match Made in Hell!
August 29th, 2007 at 4:35 pmWhen Democrats engage in sex scandals or clear-cut corruption, they retain their seats as long as they keep the cash flowing — just ask Gerry Studds (re-elected six times after having sex with a male congressional page), Barney Frank (re-elected eight times after his gay lover ran a male escort ring out of his apartment), Mel Reynolds (re-elected despite facing an indictment for sexual assault and criminal sexual abuse of a 16-year-old campaign worker), Sen. Charles Robb (re-elected despite credible sex scandal allegations) and Gus Savage (re-elected despite fondling a Peace Corps volunteer).

Funny how he’s decided to leave his office even before his term expires. Do you smell a running rat?? I do! We need to begin to get the “goods” on Foley, Boehner (the illustrious boner) and Hastert. I suspect they’re all closet gays and pedophiles.
August 29th, 2007 at 4:37 pmWe need some “songbirds” who are willing to narrate their stories about these guys and the campovers with them….just like the guy at idahostateman.com who is singing about his oral sexual encounter with Craig.

I see. A Republican can do anything at all, no matter how morally reprehensible it is, as long as he/she isn’t charged with a crime, it’s OK.
So much for the party of morals and ethics. Actually the Rethug party is the party of no morals and no ethics, so I guess this kind of reasoning works.

Course we all know why. It’s safe to go after Craig and look strong on family values because the seat is safely in GOP hands. Vitter’s seat would have been filled by a Democratic Governor.
There’s no moral high ground here. It’s still all politics.
