Senator Larry Craig resigned

Idaho Senator Larry Craig resigned Saturday over a men‘s room sex sting, bowing to pressure from fellow Republicans worried about a scandal dimming their election prospects.

Larry Craig‘s resignation completed a stunning downfall that began Monday with the disclosure that he pleaded guilty to a reduced charge following his arrest during a sex sting in a Minneapolis airport men‘s room.

President Bush called Craig from the White House after the senator‘s announcement and told him he knew it was a difficult decision to make, said White House spokesman Scott Stanzel.
Craig was arrested June 11 in a police undercover vice operation in a men‘s room at the Minneapolis airport. The arresting officer, Sgt. Dave Karsnia, said in his report that the restroom is a known location for homosexual activity.
