So what does Craig do now?

[maseman]

Once resigned, what does Larry Craig do? He won't ever win an election (at least in Idaho) ever again so his political days are over.

I am sure people at his church look at him awfully funny these days and probably don't want much to do with him. You would think his neighbors also look at him pretty funny.

He won't go on the public speaking circuit. Who would have him speak?

I doubt there are many boards of directors for businesses that would want him on board. He's pretty toxic and it would cause a big ruckus.

So what does he do? Fry guy at the local Wendy's? "Welcome to Wal-Mart" greeter? Restroom attendant at the Interstate rest stop? (He may like that.)

1. Lobbyist?

I don't think his former colleagues woudl object to being lobbied by him in private.

[rzemanfl]

3. Provate? Is that like in the men's room? n/t

[Vanje]

5. Yep. Craigs GOP colleagues, the press, dont actually care about Craigs values"

They only care about appearances.

[havocmom]

2. Get a pretend ranch and clear brush?

Drink heavily and rail about how none of it was his fault?

Who cares, just so long as he isn't in any position to set national policy anymore.

[maseman]

4. I'd love to see his anger turn to revenge

and out a bunch of other Republican gays. You know he has to know of some.

[Vanje]

6. Wont happen. Craig loathes gays

Sad, really

[havocmom]

8. I'd love to see his anger turn to revenge on who ever it was who leaked the whole thing.

Thinking somebody high up the GOP food chain needed to remind those about to jump ship that they can all be destroyed if they don't tow the line.

The leaking of Craig's incident would be a pretty strong message to a bunch of pols who KNOW the wiretaps were less about catching terrorists and more about bullying and blackmailing anybody cheney needs to control.

7. Don't fence him in

Give him land, lots of land under starry skies above
Don't fence him in
Let him ride the open Idaho country that he loves
Don't fence him in
Let him be by himself in the evenin' breeze
And listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees
Send him off forever but I ask you please
Don't fence him in

[PresidentObama]

9. Drag show? n/t

[riona]

12. Maybe he can be born again or reborn again?

[TwilightGardener]

10. Tattle on the other GOPers. Do it, Larry! You know you're not the only one!

[CK_John]

11. He'll be back in his Senate office on Oct 1, ready to vote for a strike on Iran. n/t

[smalll]

13. I assume he's rich like just about every Senator these days

and he won't have to do anything if he doesn't want to. He looks to be about retirement age anyway. He'll just live off his capital, look into reverse mortgages, etc. Probably do a lot of golfing.

[Tom Rinaldo]

14. He gets aabout $120,000 a year now as his pension from the Senate

Actually, Craig may not be one of the richer ones, I read someplance that he lives off of his Senate salary. But the average American is not going to worry about the financial well being of some guy with a $120,000 income and a good prepaid health insurance plan.

[bottomofthehill]

15. go to one of those un-gaying camps like the preacher guy did

collect his congressional pension and social security, which he wanted to end

[Snarkturian Clone]

16. book deal nt

[niyad]

19. isn't it more fun out here than in the shadows of lurkerland? welcome!!

[Snarkturian Clone]

20. Yeah

I've only been called a government operative once! :):)

[Donkeykick]

17. Probably...

start one of those religious shows. :eyes:

[RedG1]

18. does a remake of 'The Birdcage', renaming it 'BirdCraige'...

with Ghouliani of course

[H2O Man]

21. Who cares?

He gets a hefty retirement from his years in service to the federal government.

[maseman]

22. Maybe Ted Haggard and Larry Craig will end up

"roommates."
