The Stubborn Sodomite, Part II (With Updates)

Yes!! (from the AP):

Sen. Larry Craig is reconsidering his decision to resign after his arrest in a Minnesota airport sex sting and may still fight for his Senate seat, his spokesman said Tuesday evening.

"It's not such a foregone conclusion anymore, that the only thing he could do was resign," said Sidney Smith, Craig's spokesman in Idaho's capital. * * *

I love it. All the Democrats need to do on this one is simply sit back and enjoy the show.

UPDATE: This is from a TPM reader:

If Sen. Larry Craig reconsiders and steps all over Gen. Petraeus' week of surge, Bill Kristol's head will explode. That Pentagon media war room they set up will be useless in the face of this cable TV zoo.

Exactly right. BushCo, its apologists, and the Pentagon are wildly spinning their "The Surge Is A Success!!" fabrication as best they can right now, only to have Senator Craig step up and cause yet another big distraction.

But perhaps this distraction is for the best. After all, BushCo's lying with regard to the "success" of The Surge is so transparent that even Wolf Blitzer is calling them on it.

UPDATE II: Although I think the Democrats should pretty much remain silent on this whole Craig deal, I would love to see gay rights groups come out solidly in favor of Senator Craig remaining in the Senate.

Don't get me wrong -- this is already a great "scandal." Indeed, it definitely has the potential of replacing PenisGate as my all-time favorite. But I would never stop laughing if gay rights groups came out in favor of Craig.
