Idaho Sen. Larry Craig resigns in storm over sex sting in airport men's room
By JERUSALEM POST STAFF
Idaho Sen. Larry Craig resigned Saturday following his arrest for soliciting sex from an undercover police officer in an airport bathroom, bowing to pressure from fellow Republicans worried about a scandal dimming their election prospects in 2008.
"I apologize for what I have caused," Craig said.
Craig's resignation completed a stunning downfall that began Monday with the disclosure that he had pleaded guilty to a reduced charge following his arrest during an undercover police operation in a Minneapolis airport men's room.
