Those Liberal Journalists Made Me Do It!

Senator Larry Craig is now blaming journalists for his having plead guilty after he was caught in a sex sting in the men's room of the Minneapolis airport. He says that because reporters had been hounding him for months about his sexuality, he was under extreme stress that apparently clouded his judgment -- their "witch hunt" made him do it.

There's only one problem. Craig already stated in his motion to withdraw his plea that he plead guilty because he believed the officer's statement to him that doing so would make the whole thing go away.

Officer Karsnia told me several times during the interview that I could plead guilty to an undisclosed crime, pay a fine, and be "done" with the situation. I believed him and, based in part on his representation, I decided to plead guilty.

If you watch for it, you'll find that cornered liars always want to say it's someone else's fault. If they're lucky, they can keep their story straight. If not, well ...
