Sen. Larry Craig came out today and said he “overreacted and made a poor decision” in pleading guilty to disorderly conduct after his June arrest following an incident in a Minneapolis, Minnesota, airport bathroom. He went on to say “Let me be clear: I am not gay and never have been.” Well let me be clear and say if you’re in a bathroom making hand gestures to another man and peeking into his stall; you’re gay!
According to CNN:
A police officer who arrested him June 11 said Craig peered through a crack in a restroom stall door for two minutes and made gestures suggesting to the officer he wanted to engage in “lewd conduct.”
Craig’s blue eyes were clearly visible through the crack in the door, Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport police Sgt. Dave Karsnia wrote in the report he filed.
“Craig would look down at his hands, ‘fidget’ with his fingers, and then look through the crack into my stall again,” Karsnia wrote in documents accompanying the arrest report.
Craig said the officer misinterpreted his actions.
Isn’t it always the self-hating republicans like, Sen. Larry Craig, who has aligned himself with conservative groups who oppose gay rights that turnout to be the “Super Gays Of The Year!” (B. Scott laughing and shaking his head!)
