Memo To Larry Craig: Beat It!Let me rephrase that ...
Sen. Craig, get out of Dodge. The time to fight for your career is not
after you've announced your resignation from the Senate. The time to fight for your career was
before you plead guilty last June to what I suspect was a highly questionable charge of disorderly conduct. (How do I know my advice is right? Because, quite simply, it's the opposite of what the nearly-always-wrong Senator Arlen Specter is telling you.)
So show some class, Larry, and make a dignified exit.
And for your information, Senator: you could've avoided this mess on your way home from the Senate in June had you a basic knowledge of the
Constitution:
Article I, Section. 6:
[The Senators and Representatives] shall in all Cases, except Treason, Felony and Breach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their Attendance at the Session of their respective Houses, and in going to and returning from the same; and for any Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other Place.But that's all academic now.
You've plead guilty and announced your resignation; it's time to go.
