This has to be making the Republican leadership nuts that Tappy McWideStance isn’t exiting gracefully and will be a giant “values voter” thorn in their side entering into primary season.
UPDATE: I swear you can’t write this stuff, but guess what Larry Craig’s favorite recipe is? A Super Tuber. A baked potato with a hot dog crammed inside. I’m just sayin’… (h/t Rachel Maddow)

“Tappy McWideStance”…….snicker
I am thrilled!
If he runs for re-election, that is the only chance we have of winning that seat! Not to mention the fact that it is gonna be a big thorn in the wingnut side.
Jeannie See @ 1:
I second that, classic….
What are his handlers thinking????!!!!!
Everyone should send him a roll of toilet paper to thank him for his bravery.
How do the people of Idaho feel about his staying? Anyone care to ask the people that voted him in?
Jeannie See @ 6:
Damn good question!
Senator Destructo! One “republican” doing what so many “democrats” have failed to do - destroy any chance of being taken as honest ….
Seriously - One thing I have noticed is that “conservative” polticans who take on “values” topics will inevitability get tapped or recieve a bum steer.
He did say he will not run for reelection but will serve out his term but I’ll take what I can get. You can’t buy this kind of hypocrisy.
All comes down to his having a false sense of importance!
I’ve got a great campaign slogan.
“VOTE FOR CRAIG…………..HE’S NOT GAY!”
Larry Craig is the Heart and Soul of the Republican Party.
Larry Craig: “I’ve got a wide stance, and a hankering for nasty men’s room sex”
It’s good of him to give us an opportunity to keep bringing it up-though will never top the Reich’s obsession with Clinton’s BJ.
Nice show of defiance, but he’ll be gone and forgotten by 08. The GOP will explain the facts of life to him. Gonzo didn’t tap phones just to amuse himself.
Larry Craig should make for a good campaign commercial and slogan, but in reality he is just a small part of the problem.
See the following for what I mean.

All I can say is awesome. I love it. Craig is paying his hypocritical party back big time. They hanged him out to dry and now he’s going to be a stone around their necks.
miss_kitty @ 13:
On that note, the response from here on out every single time reslug brings up the Clinton scandal for no reason, the response should be “Larry Craig.”
nsr @ 14:
But Craig tapped feet just to amuse himself…
I’m so happy I could tap my toes…
uh, maybe not.
Can you say “GOP poster boy in 2008″?
It’s Christmas in October!
If I were a Senator in Washington I’d be very wary of taking a poop in the Congressional restrooms from this point on.
So, if he attends the GOP convention, would that be considered returning to the scene of the crime?
Does anyone else get the giddy feeling that our dear Mr. Craig has a shitload of evidence about McConnell and Graham and a few other Rethug closet cases? I would LOVE to see a knock-down drag-out fight between them all, outing as many as possible. After refusing to back up Craig when they practically elevated Vitter to sainthood, if it was me I would destroy the ungrateful party that I spent my whole life supporting. Give ‘em hell, Larry. LOL!
the way i see it is - maybe the toilet is a bona fide republican office.
the eagle will soar again!
larry craig….hero of the stupid
my apologies to stuttering john
Tappy McWideStance
ROTFLMAO … I’m also forwarding the monitor cleaning bill to Crooks and Liars
The magazine “The Gay Advocate” should make him there poster boy and put him on the cover, make him man of the year. JCB
ADDED BONUS:
The 2008 Republican National Convention will take place at the Xcel Energy Center in Saint Paul, Minnesota from September 1 until September 4, 2008.
(Like, y’now, not far from the airport and its infamous Men’s Room.)
The first day of the Republican convention will be Labor Day, the last day of the popular Minnesota State Fair. (The RNC National Convention will be held four days after the conclusion of the Democratic National Convention which will be held in Denver, Colorado at the Pepsi Center). This is the latest any major party convention has ever been convened and the first one to take place entirely in September.
The attending delegates at the convention will choose and nominate the Republican Presidential and Vice-Presidential candidates for the 2008 Presidential election. It is still too early to know who the candidates will be or who will attend the convention, like, perhaps, Idaho Senator Larry Craig.
heheheh.

Not all Americans think the ways C&L posters think.
Craig has an excellent chance to survive politically.
VietVet8666 @ 29:
Care to elaborate?
Jeannie See @ 6:
They were dumb enough to vote him in on numerous occasions, and seein’ that he didn’t do anything that seems impeachable I think they just better learn to live with him.
At least until his next election cycle comes ’round, anyhow…
Would Craig lose out on any benefits if he were to resign? If so, that might explain why he’s clinging to office.
Somebody get him some Ben-Gay. He was bitching about how he’s never had any, so just get him some already.
Or am I missing something here?
goatsage @ 30:
Here it comes! WE are the homophobes! Watch! LOL!
Bonkers @ 33:
Yes, you’re missing something. He’s had buttloads of Ben-Gay.

Reposting this Craig-arrest spoof ad from yesterday’s open thread. (Disclaimer: I’m not associated with the PAC).
VietVet8666 @ 29:
He’ll get blitzed in his primary. Period. End of story.
goatsage @ 30:
Blogs attract those who think the same way.
Which is fine. I lean far left, but I try to understand the enemy.
Idaho voters do not necessarily think how C&L posters think.

WASHINGTON - Idaho Sen. Larry Craig defiantly vowed to serve out his term in office on Thursday despite losing a court attempt to rescind his guilty plea in a men’s room sex sting.
“I have seen that it is possible for me to work here effectively,” Craig said in a written statement certain to disappoint fellow Republicans who have long urged him to step down
Of course!!! Perverts always work well amongst themselves. He can’t stand the thought of leaving of leaving all those nifty capital-hill mens-rooms before he has to.!
LMAO…..Tappy McWideStance!!!!!
Jeannie See @ 1:
That’s as good as “C**ty McSmirk” for Ann Coulter (IIRC, Franken came up with that one).
I think his colleagues will run him out of town on a rail. The Repubs have to defend 22 seats in ‘08, and I doubt they want this clown around as the poster child of hypocrisy.
Grab the popcorn and kickback, because this may get very interesting.
I agree, he has the goods on Mitch McConnell and Lindsay Graham–there are also a couple other republican senators who are also this way and they are married also.
Grand Old Phonies.
It’s okay to be a gay hating gay. It’s okay to try to hurt your people with votes that affect laws. It’s okay to ask for a doctor to come and commit this person so that it can be of no further harm to others
These types of scandals are great distractions from the more serious issues going on.
This is perfect!
I want to know who facilitated the circumstance where Jeff Gannon/Guckert supposed gay male prostitute with no journalistic credentials to be given a press pass and access to the White House Press Room. Who is behind all this gay stuff and hypocrisy that occurs on a regular basis in the White House. The Republicans have some ’splainin to do in my opinion. I hope more people push for this explaining to be done.
sconset @ 43:
You’re right. Craig’s staying is the best thing that can happen for Dems in terms of getting Idaho and generally stringing out the repug-perv-hypocrite theme.
There’s no partisan bickering here. Most Democrats feel Larry Craig should stay in the Senate. He pled guilty to a misdemeanour and paid the fine. It’s over. Now it can all “just go away.” It’s the GOP that “eat their own young.”
Larry Craig, congratulations, and please, please DO stay on. I won’t say much more about your Wide Stance, in the near future. Promise!! For now, though…
It’s not a gay issue. I don’t care if he is gay, or not gay, or never has been gay, I’m just sayin’… (cough cough)
The issue with Larry Craig is hypocricasy.
On all sides.
Orangutan. @ 47:
Let’s not forget the ‘private’ meetings Gannon/Guckert had the WarPig Bush and his most special friend in the whole wide-world Tony Blair. Why would a hack little rag reporter like G/G be in private meetings with two Heads of State? Sorry if this is off-topic.
goatsage @ 36:
About what I figured- libs in one corner, a few hardcore wingnuts in the other(BTW, I saw at least one suggestion of a recall. I don’t think it’s legal to recall a US Senator or Rep). But didjya see this typo?
It is good to read that Senator Craig will continue to fight this monstrous injustice up through the court system all the way to the Supreme Count, if necessary.
[emphasis mine]
Does the Supreme Count wear a cape instead of robes? Does he have henchmen rather than pages and interns?
Give ‘em hell, Larry!
What was true for Clinton is true for you: private sexual behavior has no bearing on public service and minor state/local infractions are not high crimes.
So, keep your stance wide, my friend! Keep your stance wide!
