CNN'S Toobin: Senator Larry Craig Admits to Perjury?

When Senator Larry Craig announced his innocence ("I do believe in ghosts, I do believe in ghosts...not gay, not gay...") after having pled guilty while under oath, did he understand that he was admitting he had committed perjury? Did he understand that is what he was saying? Back in those heady June days in Minnesota, he pled guilty while under oath in front of a judge--the oath being that he was to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth--that old, hoary oath thing. Poor guy, probably doesn't understand english or had eaten some twinkies or a large black man frightened him or...

Will Senator Larry Craig, a Republican from Idaho, issue a clarifying statement that will refute his denial of his admission? Lay down the ass gaskets: its going to be a bumpy crapfest.

UPDATE Excellent Toles cartoon on the elephant in the stall.

The Craig "matter"

By bringiton on Wed, 08/29/2007 - 9:42pm

is one you just let fester when it belongs to the other side. No hurry to get resolution, take the high road, give him plenty of opportunity to explain himself because that's going so well, and let the news cycle drag on and on and on.

Toles, brilliant, thanks would have missed it.

Good reading! Favorite quote: What could go wrong?
Beyond war, inflation, the end of the technology/productivity wave, and financial collapse, we think the most potent and short-term threat would be societies demanding a more ‘equitable’ share of wealth.
