Doug Clark's Tap Three Times (Tribute to Sen. Larry Craig)

You've got to hand it to U.S. Sen. Larry Craig.

The Idaho Republican has established his legacy. He will forever be known as the political leader who gave new meaning to the term "layover".

By now the nation has heard the conservative lawmaker's strained denials when he faced the press on Tuesday and said:

"I am not a crook."

No, wait a minute. That was Nixon.

Craig said, "I am not gay."

Clark is the newpaper's pun man. While I expected something like this, it's still sad.

Could this be Doug Clark from “Doug Clark and the Hotnuts”? This sure sounds like his type of material.

When it gets to the point where you have to hold press conferences to tell people you’re not gay - you’re gay.

Oh, my darling,
Knock three times
On the ceiling if you want me.
Mmm-hmm, twice on the pipe
If the answer is no.

“When it gets to the point where you have to hold press conferences to tell people you’re not gay - you’re gay.”

I’ve always admired Craig’s politics and hate to see a good man fall — but, he would be doing both himself and the rest of us a favor by just stepping down quickly and quietly.
