Buh-Bye, Larry Craig

This may be the last you see of Sen. Larry Craig. Here’s a short bit of his final address to the Senate yesterday.

It was just last year that Sen. Larry E. Craig riveted political Washington with his arrest in an airport sex sting and subsequent public declaration, “I am not gay.” On Thursday, there was much less hubbub — in fact, none at all — as the Idaho Republican delivered his farewell speech on the Senate floor. In a largely empty chamber, Craig talked at length about energy independence and the importance of increasing domestic oil production. A couple of his colleagues said nice things about his legislative work. He said nice things about them in return.

And then it was done.

Goodbye, Larry. On behalf of myself and bloggers worldwide, thanks for the laughs.
