"You're either on the bus or off the bus." Ken Kesey in Tom Wolfe's The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test
"The bus" of course is a methophor, Kesey most likely meant that "Being on the bus" meant being with the "in-crowd."
And Sen. Larry "Not Gay" Craig (R-ID), who recently pleaded guilty to soliciting for sex in a Minneapolis men's room, is off the Mitt Romney bus.
From AP:
"(Romney) not only threw me under his campaign bus, he backed up and ran over me again," Craig said in an interview with NBC, excerpts of which were released on Monday.
Craig now claims his bathroom stall foot-tapping was misunderstood, and has spent the last few weeks trying to get his guilty plea for those actions overturned.
Formerly the co-chair of Romney's Capitol Hill campaign effort, Craig still doesn't get it. Not only is his political career finished, the one-time little known Republican is now a national joke.
Follow up on your promise, Senator, and quit now.
