My theory on that is two-fold, Billy.
One. Craig thought he could plead guilty to a minor offense, pay his fine and the whole thing would go under the radar. (He was wrong, of course, but we can certainly understand his desire to have it disappear!)
Two. The media actually dug this up back then, but the Demos kept it in their quiver of diversionary tactics until some boil was about to burst out on their own butt. They could then yell and pound the table until their own stink was forgotten. We may never know what that is or was, but I'd lay money it has to do with Hitlery. It fits the pattern.
