Craig: "Because I'm a serving United States Senator from Idaho." (LMAO)

[ecstatic]

It sounds like Craig got this statement directly from a confidence/self esteem coach. :rofl:

WASHINGTON (CNN) — Sen. Larry Craig of Idaho made a surprise appearance Tuesday the U.S. Capitol, his first since the scandal broke last month over allegations he tried to solicit sex from an undercover police officer in a restroom at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.

The Republican senator had a brief exchange with CNN's Ted Barrett at a Capitol entrance:

Barrett: "What brings you back to the Capitol today?"
Craig: "Go to work."
Barrett: "Are you intending to vote today, sir?"
Craig: "That's my plan."
Barrett: "Why decide to come back today?"
Craig: "Because I'm a serving United States Senator from Idaho."

1. Heck, I don't want this guy to leave office ..

I want him to stay - so that I can continue laughing hysterically as he continues to represent rank Rethuglican hypocrisy so eloquently!

[Richard Steele]

4. Same here- I'm LOVING "Limbo Larry" lingering in the limelight! nm

[BOSSHOG]

12. I have every confidence

that ole Lar will be replaced by some other family values hypocritical bastard whose scandalous display of values will be made public soon.

[BOSSHOG]

2. Third Stall on the left, no waiting, Larry is ready to serve

Hi lurkers, you people suck. Literally.

7. Now Now, your going to get some freepers turned on talking like that

3. He's been absorbing Stuart Smalley's self-esteem lessons.

edit to add: I'm good enough, smart enough, and gosh darnit, I'm from Idaho!

[karlrschneider]

5. Well, he's correct...he is a Senator from Idaho.

His presence in the Senate is less disturbing to me than Bush's in the White House, actually.

6. I have to agree with you!

I'd rather have Craig in office for the next 20 years -- even if he weren't an albatross for the Republics, which he is -- than see the Dim Son in office another day.

8. Are we sure that it wasn't "I'm a self-serving US Senator from Idaho"?

9. Driven by scandal from the airport restrooms in Minnesota, Craig has returned to his old haunts at

the U.S. Congress.

10. So, who's he going to be servicing..er, serving?

Politicians are fond of servicing the public..in much the same way a bull services a cow.

[tridim]

11. I'd love to be a fly on the wall in the cloak room

Bet you a dollar the other Repukes are acting really nervously when he's around.

[napi21]

13. I want to see them interview Mitch about how he welcomed Craig

today! In fact, I'd like to hear from ALL of the Pub leadership today. Did they welcome him back with clapping hands like they did for Vitter? Hmmm, if not, why not?
