Second rising? Craig may not resign from Senate


Sorry seems to be the hardest word. Elton John, 1976.

Last Saturday most people thought that the Senator Larry Craig men's room scandal came to a climax when the Republican from Idaho announced his intention to leave the Senate, presumably from the back door, at the end of this month.

But showing virility usually assumed to be the sole province of younger men, the sexagenarian has hardened his resolve, and may pull out of his promise to resign.

For now he's stalling on his possible retraction. But if he's cleared of the charges of soliciting gay sex in a Minnesota men's room---and remember, Craig say's he's not gay--he may enjoy a second rising in the Senate.

Either way, don't expect any Craig statues to be erected anywhere soon.
