Senator Craig’s Appeal Denied – Still Not Gay
Senator Larry Craig (R) Idaho plead guilty to disorderly conudct last year after he was arrested in a Minneapolis St. Paul International Airport bathroom by an undercover policeman who claimed Senator Craig solicited him for sex. As part of his plea, Senator Craig denied the solicitation charges and said that he is not a homosexual.
What’s interesting about this is that Senator Larry Craig is back in the news today, after the Minnesota appeals court ruled that his rights weren’t violated before denying his bid to withdraw the guilty plea that he made earlier. For those of you that watch the television show Boston Legal, this case may strike a chord, because the solicitation chage stemmed from Craig was arrested based on tapping his foot and moving it toward a neighboring bathroom stall occupied by another person, in this case an undercover officer. Gentlemen – remember these things for future reference, because you never know what a public bathroom experience is going to reveal.
Now, at the end of the day I think that one of two problems exists here. First, we’re probably not getting the whole story, because that does not seem like nearly enough to prosecute on. Second, Craig has to be guilty of something or he wouldn’t have entered a guilty plea to anything. Interestingly enough, the loss of his appeal changed nothing for Craig, other than to bring his name to the front of the news again.
