The Most Relieved Politician In America Today

Well, maybe not relieved entirely, since his career is effectively over. But you can bet this would be getting far more attention today if it weren't for Rod Blagojevich. In fact, take a look how far buried he is in the avalanche of Blagojevich coverage over at Memeorandum.
Idaho Sen. Larry Craig has lost his latest attempt to withdraw his guilty plea in the Minneapolis airport men's room sex sting that effectively ended his Senate career.

A three-judge panel of the Minnesota Court of Appeals on Tuesday rejected the Republican's bid to toss out his disorderly conduct conviction.

Craig still has the option of appealing to the Minnesota Supreme Court, and he said Tuesday he was considering future options.

Craig was arrested June 11, 2007, by an undercover police officer who was conducting a sting operation against men cruising for gay sex at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.
No need to play Name That Party, obviously.

Anyway, can Craig please just go away now?
