Sen. Larry Craig of Idaho is a tough guy to run out of town.
Not that his Republican colleagues aren’t trying. Worried that the disgraced lawmaker intends to remain in the Senate indefinitely, they are threatening to notch up the public humiliation by seeking an open ethics hearing on the restroom scandal that enveloped Craig last month.
I love this kind of stuff. Craig has decided to stay in the Senate effectively telling his colleagues to screw. Now the GOP has no choice but to eat their own. Republicans are thinking that they are going to take such a beating in 2008 that they can’t afford Graig’s extracurricular activities to cause them any more trouble. Can’t wait to see the hearings.
