Idahomosexual

This is a moving reading of Idaho Sen. Larry Craig's police report.

I find it odd that the suggestive signals given by the Senator are considered lewd acts. He wasn't caught masturbating or some other act that could be considered overtly lewd. If he had verbally propositioned the undercover officer, the case would be clear. I suppose the lingering in front of the stall, peeking in, counts as on overt act, though I doubt it was a full two minutes. Was the officer looking at his watch? I wonder if the officer had actually dropped trou in the stall or was just sitting on the seat.

But the Senator's protests that he was definitely NOT GAY are perhaps the most telling. He wasn't charged with being gay. He didn't plead guilty to being gay. Of course, I'm sure that being gay would be a crime if he had his way. He plead guilty to disorderly conduct (or some such). At the very least, he was being more than a little creepy, which is bad enough. But in his mind, it's better than being gay. He's a sad, little man.
