Can you spare a square?

Attorneys for U.S. Sen. Larry Craig are asking the Minnesota Court of Appeals to correct a "manifest injustice" by allowing the Idaho Republican to withdraw his guilty plea stemming from an airport restroom sex sting. An undercover officer said Craig tapped his feet and swiped his hand under a stall divider in a way that signaled he wanted sex.

After news of his arrest and plea became public in August, Craig denied wrongdoing. He insisted his actions were misconstrued and said he wasn't gay. He said he pleaded guilty and paid a fine hoping to resolve the matter quietly. Tuesday's filing repeats many arguments that Craig's attorneys made before, including claims that the lower court abused its discretion and that the guilty plea is invalid because there is no factual basis for a disorderly conduct charge.

STY: Oh, right...the fact that he confessed has nothing to do with it.

Craig's behavior as he looked into a stall was ''consistent with the conduct of an innocent person waiting for one of the occupied stalls to clear,'' the attorneys wrote.

STY: Yes, I often look glaringly into a stall, tap my feet, and wave my hand under the divider while I'm waiting to take a shit. TOTALLY believable.

The Secret Tapes of Larry Craig

Sen. Larry Craig of Idaho may reconsider his resignation if he is cleared of a disorderly conduct charge to which he pleaded guilty last month, his spokesman said Tuesday. Sen. Larry Craig, R-Idaho, announced his resignation Saturday in Boise, Idaho. Dan Whiting said it was still the GOP senator's intention to resign effective September 30, "however, he is fighting these charges and should he be cleared before then, he may -- I emphasize may -- not resign." Craig on Saturday announced his intention to resign after almost a week of speculation. But in a voice mail obtained by the Capitol Hill newspaper Roll Call, Craig appears to tell his attorney before that announcement that that he is going to change his statement.

"Senator Craig, did you have sex in the bathroom with another man?"

"Yes, I did. No...wait...I didn't! I was...um...just reaching for some toilet paper!"

"Senator Craig, are you going to resign?"

"Yes, I am. No...wait...I'm not! Wait...I am! No...I'm not!"

"Senator Craig, are you hypocritical lying fucking idiot?"

"No, I'm not. Wait...I am!"

News from an Organization AGAINST Gay Men

The American Red Cross ousted its president, Mark Everson, after learning that he had engaged in a "personal relationship" with a subordinate employee. Everson, the former commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service, took the Red Cross job last May as the charity sought to restructure itself after sharp criticism of its response to Hurricane Katrina. In a statement, the Red Cross said its board of governors asked for and received Everson's resignation, effective immediately, after learning within the past two weeks of the relationship with a woman on the Red Cross staff. The Red Cross also released a statement from Everson, who is married and has two children."I am resigning for personal and family reasons, and deeply regret it is impossible for me to continue a job so recently undertaken," he said. The development was a blow to the Red Cross as it was making progress in overcoming image problems arising from its response to Katrina and the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.
