News out of the Minnesota airport bathroom today. The judge in the Larry Craig circus/retrial took one look at the Idaho Senator’s attempt to withdraw his guilty plea and said, “No way, buster.”

“The defendant, a career politician with a college education, is of at least above-average intelligence,” the judge wrote. “He knew what he was saying, reading and signing.”

No word on whether Craig will now (finally) resign.
