If Craig is innocent, isn't he simply too stupid to be a Senator of the US?

Question

He plead guilty! A US Senator cannot possibly be stupid enough to plead guilty to this if he was actually innocent. Could he?

Answer 1

they are all too dumb

Answer 2

The printed transcript from audio recordings of the arrest interview DOES suggest that a surprised and embarrassed Craig was railroaded by insistent cops--who may well have been on a pay-ola payroll from Craig's enemies.

Bear in mind: todays D.C. politics is much more nastier than in Craig's prime younger days--and the man simply hasn't caught on to the new political dynamics. Craig is a product of 'old school' D.C. politics, where empowered were given degrees of discreet respect by law enforcement; albeit so true such a courtesy was (and still is) abused by guilty persons of political affluence and persuasion.

Craig should have exercised his Miranda right to remain silent until conferring with his attorney(s) with the matter.

Interesting how now, police are going into a different direction--accusing Craig of lying to police.

Albeit true Craig did legally plead guilty to this offense, the light of the printed transcript now sheds a new light on the matter that makes the game interesting; done right--Craig stands to secure a major courtroom victory.

Answer 3

How can you say that? Look at the Senate, now and in the past, and ask yourself if stupidity has ever been a prohibitive characteristic for either party?

While there have been a majority of smart and principled men and women over time, both the Senate and the House have attracted an astonishing collection of shrewd but truly ignorant cynics. Consider Joe McCarthy.

Now, Joe McCarthy might be the most despicable, but he has had competition from both left and right. The Republicans of today may look to be as immoral and cynical as any previous group, but that is only because they have been wrapped in the flag and screaming damnation at others for so long.

Craig is not stupid, merely weak and dishonest. It is those who supported him in his crusade when they knew he was an apostate who must be questioned, just as we should ask why Tom Delay got a free ride for so long. It sure puts Bill Clinton's oral sex in a new light. Those boys must have been angry because it wasn't them in the blue dress!

Answer 4

Exactly. And he isn't. He pled guilty to try to prevent it from hitting the press too hard. Now that it is obvious that he failed at that, he's pretending he didn't know he had the right to an attorney.

Since he is a member of the United States Senate, it's really hard to believe he didn't know he was entitled to representation.

He's just playing the old game: Deny, deny, deny. Or, in his case... Admit, deny, deny.

Answer 5

The fact that he plead guilty says alot about the voracity of the charges.

If good judgment is an indication of intelligence, his poor judgment certainly raises doubts of his intelligence.

Nope not with 27 years of experience in legislation. He is no rookie he knew what he was doing.
