		<description>George is right -- he took the plea without any legal advice at all.  It seems to have been one of those situations where they said, well hey, seeing as how you&#039;re a US Senator and all, we&#039;ll make this go away if you do this...

I&#039;m guessing he probably is gay and was soliciting an encounter.  But he didn&#039;t offer money and he didn&#039;t do anything.  It&#039;s not like he was caught in the act or anything, so what exactly is his criminal behavior here?

I know other bloggers have said this already, but it really frosts me that men can go into a bar and send a drink to a woman they don&#039;t know as a message that they want to have sex with them and no cop would even blink an eye. But when it&#039;s a gay encounter, well then, hey...it must be a crime.

If Craig had any balls at all, he&#039;d have fought the charge and accepted the publicity.  Given the absolute hyperbole of his so-called colleagues&#039; public condemnations,  he&#039;d probably get more support by coming out and giving them all the finger in the process.</description>

		<description>I heard when the story first broke, that he made the plea with no advice from family, or even advice from an attorney.

Again, what was he thinking?</description>
