That leaves Idaho Governor CL "Butch" Otter with an appointment to make to fill the remainder of the term which is up in 2008.
This is an interesting re-enactment produced by Countdown, a liberal "news" program on (P)MSNBC with Keith Olberman. They used a little dramatic liberty to create the video based on the police interview transcripts ...
So, Craig resigns today because he tried to find tubesteak in a airport restroom. Meanwhile, Rice is on the payroll, despite ignoring a congressional subpoena. Bush and Cheney continue a litany of lies and actions that amount to high crimes and misdemeanors. You can murder, perjure, evesdrop, torture and loot, but I guess you can't suck d*ck. (Unless it's Jeff Gannon's.)
Thousands of our soldiers dead in Iraq. Hundreds of thousands of dead civilians in Iraq. And Craig resigns? We are saved from bathroom stall terrorism!! God bless Washington, and the war on glory holes.
Some video coverage of the resignation, along with some other news pieces too including a short interview with Governor CL "Butch" Otter, Sen. McCain, Mitt Romney, some CNN pieces, none of which are terribly long.
As an aside, could the Idaho governor have a funnier name? Butch Otter?! It almost sounds like a joke. He might as well be named Harry Beaver! But even funnier than that is that the term "otter" is used in some gay circles. I'm telling you, you can't make this sh*t up!! Comedy writers must be pissed off when the jokes practically write themselves. From Urban Dictionary:
1.otter
A gay man who is very hairy all over his body, but is smaller in frame and weighs considerably less than a bear. "Larry is an otter, and he likes to date bears or other otters"

It's just under 6 minutes.
Kudos, MO, for bringing the mating rituals of the male homo sapiens to us for our further sociological education. My college thanks you for picking up the slack.
