When Senator Larry Craig scheduled a press conference this afternoon, many naturally presumed he would resign or at least offer some plausible defense of his actions. Instead, we got this:
Under fire from leaders of his own party, Idaho Sen. Larry Craig on Tuesday the only thing he had done wrong was to plead guilty after a police complaint of lewd conduct in a men’s room. He declared, “I am not gay. I never have been gay.”
“I did nothing wrong at the Minneapolis airport,” he said at a news conference with his wife, Suzanne, at his side.
So . . . did he think it there was likely to be a woman in the other stall of a men’s bathroom? And, if he did “nothing wrong,” why plead guilty of a crime?
