Craig tap dancing back into the limelight

While just about every American has an opinion as to whether the now famous Idaho Sen. Larry Craig likes men, women or both, no one can deny that Craig seems to prefer himself more than anyone in the world.
Craig, whose unremarkable career in Congress exploded a few weeks ago when he was busted during a gay-sex sting in the men’s room at the Minneapolis airport announced yesterday he was rescinding his previous decision to resign.
"I have seen that it is possible for me to work here effectively," Craig said in a written statement yesterday.
He may certainly be as effective as he has been in the past.
But the decision makes it clear that Craig thinks very highly of himself and his work at the Senate. He believes no one could replace him, or should replace him.
Besides, he pointed out, who would defend his soured reputation if he left the Senate? Good point, but other than Craig, who cares?
So now, Craig is going to stay in Washington so he can effectively work, even though he’s been tossed off of all the committees he sat on.
He’ll continue to collect his $165,000 salary to spend his days trying to persuade fellow senators that they’re all safe from his “wide stance” in the men’s room.
He’s likely to find it pretty lonely at the Senate during the next year and a half, and even lonelier in Senate bathrooms. Then again, maybe not.
