Idaho's Craig Resigns U. S. Senate Seat

Republican U. S. Senator Larry Craig of Idaho resigned today.

Craig said he will devote his time to trying to clear his name of allegations he tried to engage in a homosexual act with an undercover police officer in a public restroom. Craig earlier plead guilty to a disturbing the peace misdemeanor charge and when it became public, said he should not have done so and is innocent.

Despite those words, Craig came under intense fire from fellow Republicans in the Senate, and elsewhere.
