Sen. Craig Resigns

US Senator Larry Craig confirms resignation - 1:00 PM, Sept. 1 - By Deanna Darr in Boise, Idaho LONG-SERVING Republican Senator Larry Craig of Idaho, embroiled in a sex scandal... Troll said... Hi Tom. I'm a regular blog troll from CA and I happened upon your blog. Too bad for Larry. He's really a nice guy. I frankly think the man should have gotten legal advice before pleading. Many men's rooms in public places are well known trolling spots for gay and bi men. I can see that it is possible for a perfectly innocent person to give accidently end up in such a situation. But I could be wrong. This could be just a case of an uptight rightwing pro-family nut-case ending up trying to evade the mantle of "family values" while sticking it down the throat of others.

Not because of any sexuality issues, but because of his demonstration of an incredible lack of common sense. You say you can see how "a perfectly innocent person" could end up in "such a situation." Really? How many "perfectly innocent people" are (a) US Senators, (b) willing to plead guilty to something they did not do, and (c) would not consult legal counsel even when they can afford it? This goes well beyond the issue of whether or not he is gay. His lying, his duplicity, his lack of judgment alone should get him out of the Senate. As for your rant against family values, answer this: What do you have against family values? Senator Craig not only lied to his constituents, he did not even have the decency or the spine to tell his own wife about the incident in Minneapolis. The guy is gone - good riddance.
