What happens if suddenly you are being judged according to your own haughty standards? Case in point: Conservative Idaho GOP Senator Larry Craig, who pleaded  guilty to a charge of disorderly conduct, received a $575 fine, a 10-day suspended jail and one-year unsupervised probation sentence for behaving in an airport men’s room like a man soliciting sex from other men. Senator Craig says that he is innocent, NOT gay (of course not) and simply pleaded guilty to make the issue go away.  Anyone studying the case can draw his/her own conclusions, but this analysis of the political maneuvering surrounding Senator Craig’s “intent to resign” from the U.S. Senate is remarkable. It gives you a taste of how politics works in our democracy.
