     COMMENTS: Railroad Wiggle

Idaho's disorderly senator may not let his guilty plea to a toilet misdemeanor end his political career. NBC's Lisa Myers explained that Larry Craig "purposefully left himself wiggle room," parsing his words "saying he intends to resign rather than will resign." The Republican used that formulation after he learned that his colleague Arlen Specter (R-PA) was willing to defend him against being "railroaded." ABC's David Wright reported that we know about Craig's plan because he made yet another mistake--leaving a message for his lawyer about the revised wording on the voicemail of a wrong number. Wright was skeptical that the senator would keep his job: "Craig's staff members are not changing their plans. Come the end of the month they expect to be out of a job."
