Going down fighting

Someone really wants Senator Larry Craig out. He plead guilty to soliciting for sex in a Minneapolis Airport in June and pressure is being levied against him from everywhere to get him out of office. Not good to be close to elections as well as happening in the city of the Republican Convention. And by asserting that he is not gay, he has angered that population as well.

One more time a public figure has been caught with his pants down! (I'm sorry. It was just begging to be said.) One more time, innocence has been asserted. How long does it take for someone to realize that the ship is sinking and it is time to jump off? The media loves it because it drives a story and creates a challenge for them to uncover even more evidence, the latest being the audiotape of his arrest.

I think Bill Clinton had the scandal strategy down. Lie, until you get found out, only admit to what they have evidence to, and when it all falls down, wonder out loud what the big deal was. It isn't pretty, but it kept President Clinton in office. I mean, what's the goal here, to convince the public of innocence, or stay in office?
