My first thought upon hearing that Larry Craig was busted for soliciting sex in an airport was, "Dude, you should have taken Christian Peterson's Anthroplogy class and then you would understand bathroom etiquette." The list of things that Mr Craig did are pretty minimal, it is at least possible that he needs some bathroom etiquette education.
I thought he could be innocent. The things that he did to get busted for sex are pretty minimal, and if they are signs of soliciting sex it is at least possible that they are counter culture signals that Mr Craig could have inadvertently given.
The first thing he did was to glance into the stall. Apparently he did this with the intent to solicit sex, but when I read this report I thought of all the times I glanced into the crack. I was glancing to see if the current occupant was about done-no sex on my mind! It seems plausible that Mr Craig was having a bathroom emergency and he checked to see if the current occupant was about finished.
The second indicator that he gave the undercover policeman was that his foot slipped under the divider and bumped the foot of the other man. That's a little odd, but hey! Larry Craig is an older man. Perhaps he needs to spread his feet widely to do his duty.
Then I read the part of the transcript that entails him reaching under the stall. He claims that he was reaching for a piece of toilet paper. He states that he was reaching for the piece of paper a number of times, and each time I read those words I thought my senator was a stone cold liar.
I base this opinion on the belief that nobody picks up pieces of toilet paper off of public bathroom floors. I don't do it, my friends don't do it and I have a hard time believing that a senator would do it. In fact, it is harder for me to believe that a senator would pick up toilet paper than it is for me to believe that our conservative married senator was looking for a little action in a public restroom.
Ladies and Gentlemen, it was the toilet paper lie that convinced me that Larry Craig was setting up some sex in a public restroom.
