He Means It This Time, Probably

Larry Craig sent word today that he will be resigning after all, this time for real real. His "top spokesman" (hah!) said today, "The most likely scenario, by far, is that by October there will be a new senator from Idaho." The spokesman also said that the only circumstances in which Craig might try to complete his term would require a prompt overturning of his conviction for disorderly conduct in a men’s room at the Minneapolis airport, as well as Senate GOP leaders’ agreement to restore Craig’s committee leaderships posts taken away this week. The spokesman added, rather unnecessarily, that those scenarios are unlikely.
