Stupidity Reaps Its Own Reward

Sen. Craig, R-Idaho who plead guilty to disorderly conduct last month, and is facing calls by his colleagues in the Senate to resign has now changed his mind about his guilty plea, and has hired a lawyer to contest the plea. He didn't clam up when he was arrested and interrogated, in fact he sang like the proverbial boid, and argued with the cop; neither did he ask for a lawyer, nor even appear at the plea agreement with a lawyer.

He should be made to resign from the US Senate; not because he made hand and foot signals to someone in a public bathroom, not because he was convicted of a misdemeanor, but because he was stupid for not getting his lawyer on the phone the minute he was arrested, and shutting his mouth.

The Senate is no place for someone who is that stupid. Even Ted Kennedy had the presence of mind to call his lawyer when he left Mary Jo to die in the pond, before the police were even aware of the incident.
