Larry Craig, to be known from now on as the gift that keeps on giving, has decided to remain in the Senate, reneging on a prior pledge to resign. Craig’s GOP colleagues are less than pleased with this decision.

Senator John Ensign of Nevada, chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, demanded that Mr. Craig keep his initial pledge and leave the Senate.

“The type of behavior we are talking about here is not exactly something that I think a senator should be engaged in,” said Mr. Ensign, who again raised the possibility of public ethics committee hearings into whether Mr. Craig brought discredit on the Senate, which could be grounds for action against him.

“I can’t think of anything good about it,” said Senator Saxby Chambliss, Republican of Georgia.

“You don’t want to know what I really feel,” said Senator Jim DeMint, Republican of South Carolina.

Aside from needling his former friends, Craig’s continued tenure in the Senate ensures that Letterman’s staff writers will have no shortage of material for a good while.
