I am not gay

If ever there was a case of 'doth protest a bit too much,' it was this week's pathetic aftermath of the revelation of Senator Craig's restroom footsie two step.

Why a US Senator would feel the need to troll airport restrooms, tapping toes under stalls to find someone to go down with, is beyond me. But then this guy is proclaiming to the universe he isn't gay.

I'm 52 years old, and nary once has anyone even accidentally touched my toes whilst parked inside a stall. I suppose if the settee was like... 6'8" tall, he might stretch out for a leisurely recline whilst relieving, (excuse me, my attention was momentarily diverted by some dumb Segal movie, which is almost as bad as seeking out airport restroom sex) but other than such a premise, it's rather hard to believe the tap toe probing and prodding was by sheer fate. (Movie off.)

What scares me is the sheer stupidity of the Senator. Here this guy is 1 in a hundred (assuredly not a measure of quality) of a legislative body that represents 1/2 of the legislative branch, so he has clout. It's reasonable to expect he will make well-rendered decisions on bills that come before the Senate. Well, he chose to get his dick licked in a restroom (ever been in a men's room? Yuch!) so it is reasonable to assume he might not be the guy to represent a state, but go figure.

There are all manner of issues, some publicly relevant, some relevant to his family. I'd imagine his spouse and kidlet(s?) are not enamoured with his blowing it in public.

Yanno, when I was closeted, coming out seem so damn daunting, nigh impossible. How could one do this? After parking on the other side, after losing my partner, kids, house, business, falling to pieces, etc I'd still say it's so much easier to come out than tip toe around covered by a shrub, hoping no one notices the moving tree in the restroom.

So he runs around screaming his heteroness as the world chuckles. I made myself a fool at one point in my own crossing, and this guy made himself a fool in his denial. I had a reason for crashing. Mr. Craig owes his to his adamant proclamation of, and adherence to, hypocrisy.
