I'm proud of Larry Craig. He is a pioneer, as our first gay Senator. Not only that, but he has shattered the myth that gays can't have "family values." He was equally as homophobic and bigoted in his voting record as all of his other heterosexual colleagues, showing that, yes, even in ultra Red State Idaho, a gay senator can represent their values just as well as anyone else. So why all the calls to resign now? I mean, he's been engaging in this same deviant, dangerous, sometimes predatory, and compulsive sexual behavior for years, so why shouldn't he continue being a Senator? He did fine representing the people of Idaho while he was engaging in it before-- and now that he's caught he probably won't do it again, or at least less. That's what we call a "win-win" situation. Plus, as many of us know, there is no one more anti-gay than a self-hater. It seems only logical to perenially send Senator Craig back to Washington to promote the anti-gay agenda publicly so he can live it shamefully privately.
And it just makes you wonder about Rick Santorum even that much more. . .
I'm also proud of presidential candidate Mitt Romney, who showed amazing class and aplomb in shunning Senator Craig, formerly his Idaho chairman and a Senate liason, like the leper he is. After all, you wouldn't want Mitt Romney to catch the gay, would you? Romney brings new meaning to hating the sin but loving the sinner.
