WILL WE EVER GET ENOUGH LARRY CRAIG? AND IF SO... WILL IT MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE? HE'S NEVER GOING AWAY

Does Officer Karsnia have a tat too?

My doctor likes the shotgun approach to nutrition. He wants me eating lots of different fruits and vegetables with lots of different colors and he figures between them all, I'll get everything I need. Maybe his brother is an attorney who specializes in defending Republican closet cases caught up in stings in public restrooms. In the last 24 hours Larry Craig seems to have launched 3 simultaneous assaults on the Minnesota justice department. His latest reasons for pleading innocent:
1- Minnesota's disorderly conduct law is unconstitutional as it applies to his conviction in a bathroom sex sting. The ACLU has already filed a friend of the court brief that argues that "Craig's foot-tapping and hand gesture under a stall divider at the Minneapolis airport are protected by the First Amendment."

2- There wasn't enough evidence that he committed a crime when he was arrested in the June sex sting at the Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport, according to a two-page document filed Friday with the Minnesota Court of Appeals.

3- The judge erred by not allowing Craig to withdraw his plea, that the judge who sentenced Craig to a fine and probation never signed anything saying he accepted the guilty plea.

One could work, although it isn't likely. I guess on some level it makes him feel better about lying to his colleagues, his constituents, and the world about resigning. Good for him. Personally I just think he should read Bob Bauman's book about how an outed right-wing homophobic member of Congress can go through self-discovery and come out a better and fuller human being. Unlike Bauman, though-- who did it after he was driven from office-- Craig should do it while he's still a sitting senator. He won't though; he's still in denial about even being gay.

That said, I have a question. Why are these closeted right-wingers so damn cheap? First it was Florida Republican Rep. Bob Allen offering that undercover cop $20 to fellate him and then yesterday we find out from Wonkette that Craig dragged home some trick he met at a DC bar, performed some kind of GOP-sex on him, humiliated him and then stuffed a $20 bill in his pocket saying "Remember, I can buy and sell your ass ten thousand times over. You were never here. Don’t try to come back here. You don’t know me." What's with the $20 bills and gay Republican closet queens? It isn't even all Republicans. I mean David Diapers Vitter was handing around crisp $100 bills to half the female hookers in Louisiana-- and plenty in DC to boot. Anyway Peter, Joe and Tony have a little ditty from Sweet Charity for Idaho Senator Craig and Florida Rep. Allen:
