Larry "Widestance" Craig wins this year because perennial winner George W. Bush is just such a loser he can’t win at anything at all anymore. Senator Craig gets the award not for getting caught soliciting sex in an airport men’s room, but for being one of the endless stream of outspoken Republican Family Values bleaters who talk the talk but refuse to walk the walk. Adding another level of hypocrisy of a gay politician consistently voting against all gay rights legislation, and yet another level of hypocrisy of leveling immorality attacks upon Bill Clinton. Come on Larry…
The Idaho Statesman has listed the names of six men who have been propositioned by Craig. They also have one unpublished name of a man who has had sex with Craig but does not wish to be named unless it becomes necessary. Gay Rights groups have claimed Craig is gay for most of a decade with an even longer list of witnesses because of his anti-gay rhetoric and votes.
All Craig’s abject hypocrisy aside, there are also the three absurd lies. [Keep in mind that Larry Craig pleaded guilty with his appeal denied, and before he entered his own stall, he looked into the adjacent stall and knew it was occupied.]
His wide stance? Go into a public stall and put both feet beyond the wall of either side (knowing someone is sitting next door.) Come on Larry…
His hand venturing into the next stall (which he knows is occupied)? He claims to pick up a piece of stray toilet paper behind the toilet bowl. Picking up someone else’s used toilet paper in a public restroom? Come on Larry….
And lastly his claim that he would have to be a contortionist to slide his left hand palm up under the right wall of the stall which is no harder to do than contorting the right hand to slide palm up under the wall. Come on Larry…
And of course the coup de grace, saying he would resign and then later refusing to do so, giving the Democrats an entire Presidential election cycle to remind voters of the GOP Family Values hypocrisy which was half the reason they lost the House and Senate in 2006.
