[rodeodance]

7. resign Effective Sept 30

[tanyev]

41. Or widestance himself.

:rofl:

[JohnnyLib2]

8. Adieu, adios, toodle-oo.

Nice background.

[NYC Liberal]

9. LOL people applauded when he said he would resign.

[rodeodance]

21. could be they were appauding that he was doing the right thing.

[NYC Liberal]

23. True but it sounded like some of the people were applauding and others

were saying "Don't go!", to counter that.

[rucky]

10. When he says "Jesus"

everybody has to drink. you, too, West Coastees.

[Hepburn]

11. So far....no denial of being gay....

...which does surprise me. He is doing better than I thought he would do.

[rodeodance]

13. If you picked this up---no hint as why he resigned but I missed some (tele call)

[rodeodance]

12. I do not think he has mentioned his 'deed" yet.

[Hepburn]

14. Never did mention the bathroom sex arrest.

He is gone and hopefully not forgotten in November 2008!

[blogslut]

15. Damn, I missed it

I guess it doesn't take long to say adios.

[napi21]

16. So he's sticking with the Sept. 30th date! It's gonna be a LONG MONTH

there Senator!

[rodeodance]

18. and lONG for the Repugs in the Senate.

[rodeodance]

17. cspan will take calls

[Hepburn]

19. Switching channels as I post a reply!

Thanks for the info!

[rodeodance]

22. It is what he did NOT say ----he never got close to the 'incident"

[Hepburn]

31. Yeah....

...he did seem to ignore the reason why he resigned. However: In the past few days, IMO, Larry has said more than enough about it...and thereby buried himself.

[TwilightGardener]

20. It's a shame he can't just be honest with himself and us. Because then, he could

out the other GOP hypocrites (gay and straight) in Congress.

[rodeodance]

25. Most of presser dealt with his Thanking those stand behind him (no pun)

[Jack Rabbit]

24. Nothing more than this could be expected

The news conference was called for Craig to announce his resignation and that is all he announced.

I, for one, am very happy to put this behind us. We have a fraudulent war to end and a junta to impeach and remove. We don't need distractions about a gay man in denial looking for a cheap thrill in the men's room.

[rodeodance]

29. yes

[rodeodance]

26. cspan taking viewer calls

[rodeodance]

27. repug demanding Ted Kennedy resign for Kennypunkport

[Hepburn]

28. Did you hear the asshole bringing up Ted Kennedy and...

...Chappaquidick? Sooooooooooooooooooo freaking typical of the Repigs: Somehow they seem to adopt the logic that if someone else did something wrong, that excuses what the hell ever some Repig did.

:puke:

[rodeodance]

30. 2 callers saying Craig was not guilty

[Hepburn]

32. Ummmmmmmmm.....

....he admitted the guilt. What a couple of MORANS! Sheesh! :rofl:

[rodeodance]

40. oh, those minor facts don't count you know.

[Hepburn]

43. Apparent;ly not!

:rofl: What idiots!

[rodeodance]

33. Rep party is a 'flag waving, Bible -thumping"...... says a caller.

[rodeodance]

34. another caller calling Repug Party Corrupt.

[Hepburn]

35. Some people just HAVE TO SAY...

...the obvious! :rofl:

[rodeodance]

36. Republican calling. says his party is at fault. feels sorry for the family but not

for the 'arrogant' Senator. says he is glad he is gone.

[Hepburn]

37. Teddie defense came up first from the Repigs....

...and now??? We are into the CLENIS defense!

[rodeodance]

38. several callers calling it a police setup

[rodeodance]

39. caller saying people seem to have forgotten about CLINTON

[tanyev]

44. Good point. How about we spend 6 months and over 6 million dollars investigating Craig?

[Hepburn]

42. Sooooooooo....

....if Larry walked into a "police set up," I wish those callers would try and explain how this supposed set up got Larry to:

1. Put his roller bag at the front of the stall door;

2. Peek into the stall next door;

3. Touch the side of the vice cops foot; and

4. Jam his hand into a stall someone else was using.

Hell of a set up! What? They had a Larry Craig remote control to make him do all of this???

GMAFB! :eyes:

[NavyDavy]

45. nobody every claimed repigs were smart....or even a little

intelligent.....always using the "he did why can't i" excuse....the "if he jumped off a bridge would you" retort always works for my 7 yo daughter....but she is smarter than your average repuke,,,,
