Former Sen. Larry Craig drops further appeals (fails to clear his name)...

MINNEAPOLIS - A lawyer for former Idaho Sen. Larry Craig says they won't ask the Minnesota Supreme Court to void his conviction in an airport bathroom sex sting.

Minneapolis attorney Tom Kelly said Thursday they concluded that the state Supreme Court would not accept a petition for further review of the case, so it would be a futile exercise. He says that means the legal wrangling in the case is over.

Thursday was the 30-day deadline for Craig to ask the high court to review a Minnesota Court of Appeals decision that went against him.

The Idaho Republican was arrested in 2007 by an undercover police officer who was conducting a sting operation against men cruising for gay sex at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.

1. Now, if he wants to prove he is not gay, he never has been gay...
... he will have to marry Liza Minelli.

2. Poor baby. Now maybe he'll own up to his real identity.
Yea, not holding my breath.

Retirement is probably sounding good right about now. :)

5. Yet there was no problem allowing Senator Craig to keep his seat.
Maybe Craig can be the next criminal to get a standing ovation in the senate -- led by Harry Reid. What the hell. They were all sworn in by that criminal, Cheney.

End this farce.

Seat Burris.

Seat Franken.
