I don’t know Larry Craig personally. I’ve never met the guy. Before yesterday, he was just another U.S. Senator. Today, he is just another sad example of what has become of my political party’s tragic relationship with sexuality.

As everyone from Boise to Buffalo knows by now, Craig – a Republican from Idaho – recently pled guilty to misdemeanor disorderly conduct stemming from an encounter he had with an undercover police officer in the Minneapolis airport bathroom.

According to the government, Craig’s behavior signaled “a desire to engage in sexual contact” with the man in the bathroom stall next to him. Craig claims he has a wide stance and that is why his foot was underneath the stall next to him. Police say Craig was tapping his foot, using a well known tactic in a bathroom infamous for lewd conduct.
