Craig - Idaho's Hot Potato

"I am not gay. I never have been gay." Senator Larry E. Craig

Here we go again. Another man in power caught at the wrong place doing the wrong thing. And what else does he do? Deny, deny, deny.

Let's get one thing straight: When it comes to sexual misconduct, Everybody Lies. President, priest or power-broker, nobody wants to get caught with his pants down.

Especially sanctimonious Republicans, Evangelical Christians and Catholics who deliver self-righteous proclamations about deviant behavior they claim is against God and Nature.

It's almost always the loudest pro-life, pro-marriage, homophobic standard bearers who turn out to be doing the very things they claim to abhor.

I'm frankly sick of Senator Craig and his dirty little story ... arrested playing footsie with an undercover cop in an airport men's room. He pled it out to keep it under the radar. He should have kept his hands and feet out from under that bathroom door.

I don't care if the Senator is privately gay. I only care if he's publicly honest. And clearly he's not. His colleagues want him to resign. I agree.

There are already too many powerful men lying to the country. Especially in the craven, money-grubbing, evil Bush Administration.

When Craig goes, there'll be at least one less hot potato.
