patgundGOP Backs Away From 'Not Gay' Idaho Senator
"Despite his defiant denials, Sen. Larry Craig is already suffering political damage from the scandal tied to his arrest in a men's bathroom.
The conservative Idaho Republican denied any misconduct Tuesday despite pleading guilty to a misdemeanor in connection with a men's room sting last June at the Minneapolis airport.
Craig also denied that he is gay and lashed out at his local newspaper, the Idaho Statesman, for what he called a "witch hunt."
The problem with this?
a) He already admitted he was guilty and paid the fine.
b) He's been outed before - several times.
c) He's consistantly backed anti-gay laws and bills.
At most, he's dishonest. My money is that he's a flaming hypocrite.

But then, no-one's accusing me of being gay, either.
