THANK GOD for Senator Larry Craig's (R-Idaho) ELITIST HYPOCRITE sense of ENTITLEMENT!
Being the right-wing demagogue hypocrite senator he has been from a "Heartland Moral Values" state all these years, Mr. Craig thinks he is ENTITLED to GO BACK ON HIS OWN CRIMINAL GUILTY PLEA in court - even as he has done his career level best to CRIMINALIZE himself and others in that very "I AM NOT GAY" lifestyle.
More to the point, Mr. Craig is THE PERFECT METAPHOR, icon, or personification of our CORRUPTED, COWARDLY, COMPLACENT, COMPLICIT, CALLOW and DECEITFUL United States SENATE.
TIME after TIME after TIME, SENATE Majority "leader" HARRY REID tells us "WE DON'T HAVE THE VOTES to OVERCOME a REPUBLICAN FILIBUSTER, or a presidential VETO."
THAT IS BULLSIT, Senator Reid! YOU COULD fight FIRE with FIRE: YOU, the LEADER of the MAJORITY, could mount DAILY FILIBUSTERS of ALL SENATE BUSINESS, until YOU DEFINE _REPUBLICAN-OBSTRUCTIONISM_ on those issue near and dear to American voter's hearts, and FORCE THE LYING, CRAVEN, COWARDLY, COMPLICIT MEDIA to FAIRLY COVER the real story.
YOU COULD _SUBPOENA_ RUPERT MURDOCH, owner of FOX 'news,' to appear before SENATE COMMITTEE - and have him DECLARE and DEFINE *HIS CLOSE RELATIONS with the senior cadres and families of the CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY.* For EIGHT GOD-DAMNED YEARS, Right-Wing Republicans and demagogues of Hate Radio and the right-wing press/media (eg, former NIXON SPEECHWRITER Wllm. SAFIRE at the NEW YORK TIMES, the enitire contingent of Fox radio and TV) were able to accuse President Clinton of "TREASON! SELLING OUT TO COMMUNIST CHINA!" for campaign donations received; yet now, when the granddaddy of Right-Wing media ruthless robber barons has cozy ties with those same China Communists, NO ONE in Congress or the Media is INFORMING AMERICAN VOTERS and viewers of Mr. Murdoch's treacherous duplicity!
This, Senator Reid, is a de facto THEFT of MILLIONS OF DOLLARS worth of media spin and coverage FROM DEMOCRATIC VOTERS AND DONORS, to the very right-wing media barons whose agenda is antithesis to democratic public policy. We, American voters, are FORCED TO SPEND MILLIONS on an "opposition party" to have any semblance of democracy - and you, the 'leaders' of the Democratic Party, turn around and hand millions of dollars of our donations over to those very media barons (to purchase prime-time ad time during campaign season), and even give them a "FREE PASS" for what THEIR MINIONS accused President Clinon of doing!
THAT IS $300-MILLION DOLLAR or HALF-BILLION DOLLAR disparity (in media/PR value) Democratic "leaders" force Democratic-voting citizens to bear!
And while you're at it, Senator Reid, SUBPOENA GENERAL ELECTRIC's Chairman or CEO, and ask THEM HOW MUCH GE WILL PROFIT FROM BREAKING TREATIES (the ABM treaty) by - MILITARIZING SPACE (up to and including NUCLEAR WEAPONS and nuclear-powered lasers IN SPACE).
ALL THESE THINGS Harry Reid and his Senate COULD DO, but REFUSE TO DO!
And yet he, and the senate, will daily LIE to the American public, saying "THERE IS NOTHING WE CAN DO!"
For all the cowardly AWOL horrors of this senate, former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales LYING BOLD FACED to Senator Leahy's committee, and Senator Leahy PRETENDING NOT TO NOTICE - at least we Americans have the grim satisfaction of those videos of COWARDLY SENATOR JOHN KERRY standing by, approvingly silent, as campus POLICE MOB a student communicatons major asking a simple question....
and now we have the image of "WIDE-STANCE" Senator Larry Craig THINKING HE IS ABOVE THE LAWS that he tries to inflict on thousands of other Americans.
FOR SHAME!

TRANSCRIPT
Larry Craig: I liken it to we're in the middle of hurricane season. And we were. And there were no hurricanes. I became the political hurricane that everybody wanted to talk about. And did it-- did they talk about it? You bet they did.
For Idaho Senator Larry Craig and his wife Suzanne, the hurricane started six weeks ago, when the news broke that Craig had been arrested, accused by a police officer of soliciting sex in an airport men's room. He later pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct.
The arrest catapulted Senator Craig from relative obscurity, to front pages and web pages and late night comedy shows.
