Uh-oh
Now Republican Senator Larry Craig is really in trouble. Sure, pleading guilty to disorderly conduct in a public-restroom gay-sex-solicitation sting was really bad, especially where his state’s governor is a Republican so his seat will be safe either way. And deciding not to retire quietly but instead to challenge the guilty plea and get it reversed, well, that didn’t win him much praise in right-wing circles either–they just want him to quietly bow out.
But now Craig’s challenge has brought him utter disaster: the ACLU is backing him.
As far as conservatives are concerned, he may as well have just joined the Nazi Party and been done with it. Let’s see how quickly Craig’s staff can make a public spectacle of refusing any ACLU assistance or association.
