Larry Craig for President!

If you live in a cave somewhere, take a second to get caught up on the hysterical story.
http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/08/29/craig.arrest/index.html

In a nutshell, a homophobe (literally) Republican senator was arrested for playing footsie in the men’s room of a Minnesota airport in an attempt to get an undercover police officer to slam him in the thrower. Throw him in the slammer. Whatever.

Now, he’s mystified that his massive, well-publicized hypocrisy has him between a rock and a hard place. And not like that night in the park when Bruno had him between a rock and his hard place. On the one hand, Idaho isn’t really the place to be known for getting an itch for bathroom sex. I’m always impressed when sixty year old Republican senators turn out to have sexual resumes that can beat mine. On the other hand, from now on, every time he plays “hide the silverware” before going through airport security, he’ll get a stripsearch from a female officer. Both of his joys in life have been taken from him.

On the other hand, this is a politician who really “gets it.” He’s so dedicated to serving his constituents, that he doesn’t even take bathroom breaks without trying to shake people’s hands. That’s the kind of dedication that you only find in a true leader. This guy has clearly proven that he’s more than willing to take the American people directly by the balls and demand 120%. He’s obviously a “hands on” leader. And if things get messy, this guy undoubtedly has plenty of experience in cleaning up.

You can’t say that about anyone else on the docket at the moment. Larry Craig for president!
