Sen. Craig’s Explanation

Published



I do feel for Sen. Larry Craig, because I think sexuality is a private matter. Unfortunately, he’s a U.S. senator who pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor after being caught in an airport bathroom doing something inappropriate. On top of that, he’s screaming to the world that he’s as straight as John Wayne in a barbecue ribs eating contest. It’s all kinda creepy. But the real crime in Congress isn’t whether Sen. Craig is a toe-tapping Log Cabin Republican looking for a good time during a layover. It’s the pork-barrel spending and pervasive influence of special interests.
