Does Sen. Craig think that 'gay'' is the issue?

Posted by gardenergirl on August 29, 2007, at 10:28:54

Sen. Larry Craig, (R) Idaho, pleaded guilty to misdemeanor disorderly conduct in June. He was arrested by a plainclothes officer investigating complains of lewd behavior in the mens restrooms at a Minnesota airport.

Yesterday's press conference contained his emphatic declaration that he is not gay. Who cares? I care that a member of the Senate broke the law, failed to consult with an attorney before making a guilty plea in hopes of keeping the issue quiet by avoiding further court appearances, and then claimed he was "flustered" by harassment from the press when he made that guilty plea. I care about honesty and respect for the law in my elected officials. Though I did giggle a bit knowing that Sen. Craig is one of the most vocal "family values" (his definition, not mine) proponents in the Senate. He has spoken out against gay marriage and equal civil rights for gay individuals in the past.

But do I care whether he is or isn't gay? Nope.

I don't give a rat's behind if he's homosexual, heterosexual, bisexual, transsexual, asexual, quasi-sexual, metro-sexual, micro-sexual, cyber-sexual, herbi-sexual, omni-sexual, hyper-sexual, cogni-sexual, epi-sexual, pseudo-sexual, aqua-sexual, auto-sexual, geo-sexual, gero-sexual, astro-sexual, photo-sexual, multi-sexual, ante-sexual, semi-sexual, neo-sexual, auto-sexual, circum-sexual, peri-sexual, retro-sexual, intra-sexual, ambi-sexual, ideo-sexual, amphi-sexual, dis-sexual, mono-sexual, psycho-sexual, telo-sexual, non-sexual, para-sexual, sub-sexual, terra-sexual, extra-sexual, nouveau-sexual, contra-sexual, hemi-sexual, magna-sexual, super-sexual, uni-sexual, eco-sexual, anti-sexual, theo-sexual, neuro-sexual, or any other kind. (Oh god I think I'm channeling Bubba from "Forrest Gump".) I don't care if he's all of these as long as it's on his own and/or with consenting beings.

But hey, say it three times in your press conference, Sen. Make sure we hear it. It's obviously important to you, even if it's not to me.
