Pretty much everything that can be said about Larry Craig has been said. For those still looking to read more, here is a roundup of some interesting sub-plots that I have stumbled across.
Dale Carpenter has two essential posts on the social context and history concerning police stings for bathroom cruising.
Professor Bainbridge wonders why Craig didn't learn the lesson that every Law & Order viewer knows.
Feminists Law Professors is a bit concerned about why the police are even involved in cases like Craig's.
At A Stitch in Haste, there are all sorts of opinions as to what has happened:
Where's Jim Naugle When You Need Him?
More Thoughts on Larry Craig
Larry Craig Epilogue (For Now)
Republican Hypocrisy in the Craig Affair
Jeralyn at TalkLeft has a couple of interesting posts including this interesting observation about the way Craig entered his plea:
Sen. Craig pleaded guilty by mail, not in person. So there is no oral advisement. Check out his petition to plead guilty he submitted by mail. It seems to me to be missing a very important component: advisement of the right to counsel.
It's not enough for the defendant to say he is proceeding without counsel. He must be advised of his right to counsel and waive that right. (State v. Vieburg, 404 N.W.2d 312, 314 (Minn. App. 1987.)
Althouse has a couple of posts which touch on some interesting points as well as providing a roundup of some other views as well.
abyss2hope is wondering why Senator Vitter has not received the same treatment as Craig.
Bill Araiza has some thoughts at Prawfsblawg that are worth reading.
Last, but certainly not least, sexoffenderissues links to the wonderful Idaho TV broadcast that reenacted the Craig incident. ZMan doesn't find it funny, but I'm afraid that I have disagree on this one. Maybe ZMan would prefer the Olbermann rendition.
Actually my post "Craig Isn't the Only Flamer in Idaho" isn't at all about Craig -- just a really bad pun.
But the others are, and thanks for linking to them! =)

Oops. That was my mistake. I originally saved 4 posts in bloglines, but accidentally stopped saving them. When I went back, I didn't pay attention to the substance of that post and just assumed it was relevant because of the title. I'm correcting the post now.

Ok, the more I see it, it is funny. I wonder when people are going to see the insanity of all these other people who get slaps on the wrist while the normal America citizen gets their lives ruined forever?
