Sen. Craig to File Appeal on Monday
Sen. Craig to File Appeal on Monday
Published: 10/14/07, 11:25 PM EDT

BOISE, Idaho (AP) - Sen. Larry Craig says he will file an appeal Monday over a judge's refusal to allow him to withdraw his guilty plea stemming from his arrest in an airport bathroom sex sting.

In an interview Sunday with KTVB-TV, Craig repeated he will not resign his post in the Senate and said he will continue to work his legal options.

"It is my right to do what I'm doing," said Craig, an Idaho Republican. "I've already provided for Idaho certainty that Idaho needed - I'm not running for re-election. I'm no longer in the way. I am pursuing my constitutional rights."

In another interview, Craig's wife, Suzanne, said the senator didn't tell her about the arrest until the story was about to break in the media. "I felt like the floor was falling out from under me. ... And I felt like almost like I was going down a drain for a few moments," she told NBC's Matt Lauer.

4. Oh, goody!
Fortunately, the Minnesota Court of Appeals doesn't move very quickly. That means this will keep rearing its head for months. Maybe into next summer.

I love it.
