Sept. 2 (Bloomberg) -- Senator Arlen Specter said Idaho Republican Larry Craig should try to withdraw his guilty plea to disorderly conduct in connection with an incident in an airport men's room and fight the case.

``I think he could be vindicated,'' Specter, the senior Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, said on the ``Fox News Sunday'' program.

Specter, of Pennsylvania, said that Craig ``hasn't resigned'' from the Senate, only that he ``intends to resign'' as of Sept. 30. That gives Craig a month to fight the case in court, Specter said. If the case went to trial, Specter said Craig ``wouldn't be convicted of anything.''

Craig, 62, yesterday announced he would leave the Senate and apologized ``for what I have caused.'' He resigned under pressure from his own party .....

3. In other words, care more about your post than that other guy's post
... which is, of course, as it should be. ;)

Whatever old Judas Specter does concerns me greatly. He was the nursemaid of the Magic
Bullet theory.

good call, specter.

on second thought, that will keep things like the debacle in iraq, and the run-up to war in iran off the front pages. good thinking, specter.
