Excerpt
MINNEAPOLIS – Embattled Sen. Larry Craig asked the Minnesota Court of Appeals Monday to overrule a county judge who refused to allow him to withdraw his guilty plea in connection with an arrest in an airport bathroom sex sting.
Craig’s appeal was filed at the court in St. Paul less than two weeks after Hennepin County Judge Charles Porter refused to overturn the guilty plea, saying it “was accurate, voluntary and intelligent, and … supported by the evidence.”
Craig, a Republican from Idaho, pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct in August after he was accused of soliciting sex in a bathroom at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport in June.
The four-page filing did not detail the basis for the appeal.
HL’s Take:
Ahh..what the hell..lets run it one more time.

The party that makes its platform on gay bashing sure seems to be riddled with gay people. Maybe the media will try to put a positive spin on hypocrisy. I can see it now: “Hypocrisy!! Now you can hold two conflicting opinions at the same time and feel good about it!! Why weren’t we doing this all along?”
