Idaho Senator Expected to Resign

While researching and reading the LA Times article posted on September 1st, I am torn as to what to think concerning this issue. It is my belief that life should be full of choices. Each human has the right to choose regarding a variety of issues, including the right to sexuality preferences. If a Senator in our country chooses to be gay I see absolutely no problem with that.
However, I do find a problem with an authority figure of that magnitude performing an act so devious and wrong in a public restroom. In his 33-year legislative career Sen. Craig has to know that his choices and actions are followed closely. People vote him into the role he was given and their faith and trust should not be misused by attempting to commit any type of sexual activity in an airport restroom.
Therefore, I believe that news coverage has been very fair and legitimate. In my opinion he should be forced to resign. This case is very similar to that of President Clintons acts with Monica Lewinsky, except President Clinton was smart enough to do his dirty work behind closed doors, not just a bathroom stall.
