Will the last heterosexual Republican politician please turn out the lights:
U.S. Sen. Larry Craig pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct this month after his arrest in a Minneapolis airport men’s room by an undercover officer who said Craig was sending signals that he wanted to have sex….
When Craig was arrested, police at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport were conducting a sting operation to investigate allegations of lewd conduct at the airport’s main terminal.
He pleaded guilty, but he didn’t do it… that’s a spectacularly shaky PR strategy. I have to admit, I anticipated enjoying the Republican Party’s continued self-destruction, but I had no idea that it would turn out to be this amusing. At this point, it looks as if Hillary’s landslide might exceed Reagan’s historic Mondale-slapping.
It seems the policy of substituting pragmatism for principle comes with a whole host of problems I’d never anticipated.
UPDATE – Apparently there have been rumors circulating about the Gay Old Party senator for some time now.
