WHY is Larry Craig still in the US Senate and what about his trial?

[Hubert Flottz]

Did his day in court come and go without any news of the outcome of that court case having been made public? The man pleaded guilty and then backed out on that guilty plea, was he ever found guilty? If he was convicted why is he still serving?

[ashling]

1. It was a misdemeanor

anyway, his term is up on Jan 2 ...

[izzie]

2. I guess we like to have Congress like the pop.

crooks, crazies and the whole ball of wax.

[Hubert Flottz]

3. I can't believe they'd let a "CONVICT" serve in the senate

when a "CONVICT" is not allowed to vote. Why would Larry Craig's vote count if he'd been convicted?

[izzie]

15. Hard to think they would but I think once

they elected a man from jail in Mass. to some important job in that state.

[awoke_in_2003]

23. The senate is a good ole boys club...

had Stevens won his election bid, they would have done nothing to him, either.

[struggle4progress]

4. Craig appealed to Minnesota Court of Appeals; the appeal was argued 10 Sep 08,

at which point the court had 90 days to rule

AFAIK, the court hasn't ruled on the appeal yet

[Hubert Flottz]

6. Thank you.

I guess we should be hearing something soon then.

[SpiralHawk]

5. Well, at least he wasn't having Diaper Sex with Hookers

Therefore, he is a Major Republicon Model of Moral Decorum.

If he had been having Diaper Sex with Hookers like other, um, unmentionalble Republicons, then he would only be a Minor Republicon Role Model.

Ya got to take the Wide Stance in these matters (if you are a republicon, that is).

[Hubert Flottz]

7. Larry just had a minor miscoc*ulation...

He looked through that crack for robococ* and found robocop instead.

[Lasher]

8. Senate Ethics Committee sent him a strongly worded letter in February this year.

He resigned from the Senate in September 2007 but un-resigned that October. That same month it was announced he would be inducted into the Idaho Hall of Fame.

Last time I saw him on TV he was praising fellow criminal Ted Stevens on his way out the door. End of an era, I guess. Those were the good ol' days when cronies were cronies and lawmakers were lawbreakers.

[Hubert Flottz]

9. Republican Family Values and shit?

What will we tell the children? "It's okay to lie and cheat and steal son, just don't get caught" A hell of a gang of role models, them GOP misLeaders!

[SpiralHawk]

10. The Moral Midgetry of Republicon Homelanders is among their most pathetic characteristics

Republicons are truly the funked-out Pharisees of our era.

11. Why is William Jeffers still there?

FBI Says Jefferson Was Filmed Taking Cash
Affidavit Details Sting on Lawmaker

By Allan Lengel
Washington Post Staff Writer
Monday, May 22, 2006; Page A01

Rep. William J. Jefferson (D-La.), the target of a 14-month public corruption probe, was videotaped accepting $100,000 in $100 bills from a Northern Virginia investor who was wearing an FBI wire, according to a search warrant affidavit released yesterday.

A few days later, on Aug. 3, 2005, FBI agents raided Jefferson's home in Northeast Washington and found $90,000 of the cash in the freezer, in $10,000 increments wrapped in aluminum foil and stuffed inside frozen-food containers, the document said.

12. Jefferson Trial on Hold

By Casey Hynes, Roll Call

November 12, 2008

Rep. William Jefferson (D–La.) will not face trial before the state’s general election on Dec. 6, as his court date has been delayed pending a ruling on an appeal the Congressman filed over constitutional issues. The trial had been set for Dec. 2, but it is unclear when it will be rescheduled.

A lawyer for Jefferson said the appeal, related to the Speech or Debate Clause in the Constitution, is pending before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, and Jefferson’s trial cannot go forward until that appeal is resolved.

13. Until he's gone we have no right to bitch. It may be one guy on

our side, but that guy was caught red handed and he's dirty, dirty, dirty.

I suggest we hold our arrogance and our outrage until we get rid of this guy.

[Hubert Flottz]

14. If he's a crook I'm not on his side.

If he did what the FBI claims he did and the government can prove it's case, it won't hurt my feelings a bit if he goes to jail.

Nobody should be above the law.

[NNN0LHI]

16. What you want to impeach him?

[upi402]

17. He's in the US Senate because

he was banned from myspace and needs dates!

jeebuschriysss

19. I just wonder if there will be alot more bobblefoot citings once Larry

A person won't be safe in the crapper in America without his flaps down. Toilet Terra-ism is going to be on the rise with that bobblefooted dude, the diaper deviate vitter guy and now Joe the Plumber, on the prowl. :hurts:

Even the cops ain't safe from a Bobblefoot attack. :crazy:

:wtf: will we tell the children?

I guess we can forget about all that "Honorable Senator" so and so decorum bullshit. :spank:

[opihimoimoi]

22. WTF do we tell ourselves??? This is what we hear..what happened to our banks and why do we save them

20. How many members of congress have been convicted of crimes?

I am really curious. It seems to attract the morally bankrupt.

[Hubert Flottz]

21. Not nearly enough have been convicted IMHO.

I guess the congress-critters figure that, if they make the laws the laws shouldn't apply to them?

[Tutonic]

24. Hilarious! He called Ted Stevens Uncle Ted! Stevens probably

wanted to get up and leave immeidately after that! Larry Craig is a complete nut. He can't be gay because he is just too plain stupid!!!
