Larry Craig's adventures at the Minneapolis airport didn't inflict harm on anyone in the men's room, but there's collateral damage in higher places. He's likely to be back in Boise for good by the end of the week.
The senator from Idaho is learning the bitter lesson that it's not the crime but the cover-up, even when it's not much of a crime and the only complaining witness is an undercover cop assigned to look for creeps and peepers.
His "wide stance" in the stall, he says, explains why the cop mistook innocent toe-tapping for an invitation to whatever. The "stance" left footprints all over Republican colleagues who endured an endless spring and summer of scandal, calumny and disgrace. Some of these senators are playing Mr. Craig's troubles as something of a "two-fer."
They heap scorn on him to please the church folks who are an important part of the Republican constituency. But by showing Mr. Craig the back of their hands (so to speak), his Senate colleagues demonstrate to gays and double dealers in the media that they don't have any truck with "hypocrites."
Mitt Romney, who's been trying to explain why his changes of mind on so many issues don't make him the king of flip-flops, comes down uncharacteristically foursquare: Mr. Craig's conduct is not only "disgraceful" but "disappointing." Still, it's important not to appear too principled, unnecessarily burdened by convictions or eager to apply a "moral" yardstick to behavior. "My opinion," says John McCain, righteously, "is that when you plead guilty to a crime, you shouldn't serve. That's not a 'moral' stand. That's not 'holier-than-thou'. It's just a factual situation."

Has anyone seen what the officer looks like? Could he have possibly looked very very young thru the crack with his supposed blonde hair? Could the officer have purposely tried to appear very young?
Maybe Craig has an inclination to very young men like the 17 year old page in which case it would be true that he was not gay as he so stated. He would then be a pedophile. That could be a real problem!
Gads!!!
Hey Wes Pruden. It sounds as if you too have a problem.
We all know Dems are held to no standard at all.
There must be many men/boys Craig has molested. Sooner or later, some will come forward. But then, there are many who won’t because of embarrassment.
Then there will be the lawsuits Craig will have to deal with…Good!
