Folks, in his own words, U.S. Senator Larry Craig (R-ID) is “not gay and never (has) been.”
Well and good, but that has nothing to do with it. It’s about sustained poor judgment. It starts with cruising for a hookup in a public bathroom (no “alleged” here, thanks to the hasty plea); it continues with a quick fine paid and an attempt to intimidate the police with a Senate business card; and it ultimately culminates in impossibly tortured denials.
No “stance” is that “wide.”
The most absurd part of the whole thing is that he’s babbling about “retaining counsel.” Uh, sir? You pled guilty. You paid a fine. It’s over. An attorney will confirm what must be your overwhelming suspicion that you have committed a colossal error, and find a way to charge you $1500 for it.
Senator Craig, you are quite done. That toothpick is coming out immaculate. A small part of me feels sorry for you. A much larger part of me is admittedly amused at you reaping the logical result of absolutely crushing stupidity. Pack your things and go home. Some extended self-examination is highly recommended.
Finally, there is a lesson for us all in this: remain diligent in your pursuit of the reasonable and productive.
Because clearly, you’re never too old to irretrievably fuck up your life.

This whole thing makes me chuckle cynically and shake my head in weary disbelief…
