Craig Seek Dismissal of Ethics Case

WASHINGTON (AP) - Sen. Larry Craig sought the dismissal of a Senate ethics committee complaint on Wednesday and relayed word that he will resign his seat only if he fails to withdraw a guilty plea stemming from an airport men's room sex sting by Sept. 30.

"He said he is going to try and get the case in Minnesota dismissed," said Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the Senate Republican leader, telling reporters he had heard from the Idaho lawmaker earlier in the day.

McConnell spoke several hours after Craig's lawyers appealed to the ethics committee to dismiss the complaint against him, saying it stemmed merely from personal conduct, and did not relate to his official duties.

The Idaho conservative was arrested in a men's room of the Minneapolis airport on June 11. An undercover police officer stationed in the restroom said Craig had exhibited behavior consistent with seeking sex.

Craig's defiance _ he announced on Saturday he intended to resign on Sept 30 _ left Republican leaders quietly dismayed.

3. If Larry spits on anyone, I hope they're wearing a HAZMAT suit.

There would likely be enough DNA in that hock to provide an entire season of CSI scripts.

2. He's the one who tried to play his "I'm a US Senator" card

and now he's trying to say his conduct was personal and not related to his official duties?

4. Damn you Mabus

trying to fuck up his master plot. That probably was just a fake senate card, not the real thing. Besides who could possibly believe that a christian conservative republican member of the United States Senate would be hanging out in a public restroom trolling for manmeat? You are so cynical.

7. Wasn't Clinton impeached over a matter of personal conduct?

I mean, really. None of that Paula Jones/Monica Lewinsky stuff had anything whatsoever to do with his official duties.
