Well, there it is.

The wingers who holler the loudest about the “promiscuity of the gay lifestyle” would be total sluts if their world was filled with willing, anonymous, female partners.

OK, maybe they don’t holler as loud as guys like Larry here, but you know what I mean.

There must be more to this story. And since Sen. Craig is 100% not gay (he said so himself) then there MUST be a reason for his pleading guilty.

Or Craig is living in a VERY deep closet. How said.

Why plead out? To try to avoid publicity, of course.

Look, I’m not saying the undercover cop came to the wrong conclusion. I’m just saying that I think it would be really difficult for a prosecutor to get a “lewd conduct” conviction against someone for tapping his foot.

Either way, trial or no trial, Craig is cooked. He apparently had given an interview to his hometown paper a month earlier specifically on the question of his sexual orientation. Go see Josh Marshall for details.

It is a bullshit arrest, though. The idea that you can get busted for soliciting consensual sex is pretty warped.

And the fact that our society drives gay men, literally, into the (water) closet is pretty sad.

But when it comes to Craig, the issue is not that he’s gay, or whether the rap is righteous, it’s that he’s yet another dishonest Republican hypocrite

MR. RUSSERT: Larry Craig, would you want the last word from the Senate be an acquittal of the president and no censure?

SEN. CRAIG: Well, I don’t know where the Senate’s going to be on that issue of an up or down vote on impeachment, but I will tell you that the Senate certainly can bring about a censure reslution and it’s a slap on the wrist. It’s a, “Bad boy, Bill Clinton. You’re a naughty boy.”

The American people already know that Bill Clinton is a bad boy, a naughtyboy.

I’m going to speak out for the citizens of my state, who in the majority think that Bill Clinton is probably even a nasty, bad, naughty boy.

The question issue now is simply this: Did he lie under oath? Did he perjure himself and did he obstruct justice? And that’s where we’re trying to go now in this truth-seeking process. And I hope we can get there. And then I’m going to have the chance to decide and vote up or down on those articles. After we’re through with this impeachment trial, it’s collapsed, it’s gone, then the Senate will make a decision on if it’s a censure or not.
