Bummer Monday for the GOP

Larry Craig says he will appeal a judge’s ruling that disallowed Craig to withdrawal a guilty plea in his now infamous bathroom sex sting.

Another safe Republican has opted to retire. For those keeping score, that is 11 GOP retirements in the House and 4 or 5 for the Senate, depending on the fortunes of the aforementioned Senator from Idaho.

Finally, a former General that once ran the Iraq war calls that misadventure "a nightmare with no end in sight." Naturally, a catfight of recrimination ensues among the remaining Republican supporters. I think I have seen this movie before.

These headlines will, no doubt, do little to improve sagging Republican morale in Congress.
