Larry Craig

Sen. Larry Craig is a weird dude. I can’t relate. But it’s important to remember that Craig tried to weasel out his arrest.

After he was arrested, Craig, who is married, was taken to the Airport Police Operations Center to be interviewed about the lewd conduct incident, according to the police report. At one point during the interview, Craig handed the plainclothes sergeant who arrested him a business card that identified him as a U.S. Senator and said, “What do you think about that?” the report states.

Nice attempt to pull rank, dontcha think?

You can snigger about Craig’s sexual proclivities and hypocrisy…he deserves it. But the real crime here is that he was peeking through the stall at a guy that (for all he knew) was trying a take a crap. Then he went and sat on the next door toilet, stuck his foot into the other dude’s stall, and started playing footsie.

Somebody harasses me like that and I’m going to get upset.

Sen. Craig is a sick man and I feel a little sorry for him. He must have lived a very repressed life.

But the bottom line is that he’s a hypocrite. It’s now almost certain that he will retire.
