What's the Big Deal About Sen. Larry Craig?

It's very simple. He's a Republican. Had he been a Democrat, such as Democrat Barney Frank whose gay boyfriend was running a whorehouse out of the congressman's apartment, or Rep. Gery Studds, Democrat member of congress who was found to have had sexual relations with several congressional pages (underage males all, of course), it would have been quickly forgotten and, as with both gay Democrats, he would still be serving in the congress. Yes, Craig was charged with "disorderly conduct" by a cop who interpreted some hand and leg motions as "soliciting gay sex" (Since when is some vague hand or leg movement against the law?). Is he gay? Maybe, maybe not. With two proven gays still in congress (Democrats both), that's not a reason for him to resign. In any case, he wasn't charged with "being gay." He was charged on the basis of the opinion of a cop who might have had his own agenda with a "catch-all" misdemeanor charge that could mean just about anything. Still, Craig ought to resign. Not because of the charges, but because of his stupidity in pleading guilty. Anybody with no more intelligence than that has no business making laws for the rest of us. (Source: Human Events, 10/3/06)
