It appears Sen. Larry Craig (R-ID) will remain in the Senate for at least a few more days. Early last month, his Washington spokesman said Craig "intends" to resign his seat on Sept. 30 unless charges stemming from the bathroom incident in Minnesota could be cleared before then.
While a hearing on the matter took place last week, the judge isn't expected to rule until later this week. .........

A decade ago, the quartet called the Singing Senators was on top of the world.

They’d appeared on the Today show and rehearsed harmoniously in Lott’s Senate hideaway.
Recent years haven’t been as kind. Ashcroft lost ....
Things were looking up for the barbershop singing group earlier this year when three of the four original voices—Craig, Lott, and Ashcroft—reunited for the first time in six years .....
With Craig now a party outcast, the group will probably never again sing an encore of “God Bless America.”
