Larry Craig: Still Totally Gay

Well, still guilty of soliciting gay sex in a Minneapolis airport. The Minnesota Court of Appeals today rejected Craig's request to have his guilty plea (and subsequent conviction) thrown out.

After the court's ruling, Craig issued the following statement: "I am extremely disappointed by the action of the Minnesota Court of Appeals. I disagree with their conclusion and remain steadfast in my belief that nothing criminal or improper occurred at the Minneapolis airport." Despite this, Judge Charles Porter described Craig's original plea as "accurate, voluntary and intelligent, and ... supported by the evidence."

Craig is considering an appeal to the Minnesota Supreme Court.
