I'm so glad he's not MY Senator!
I would feel sorry for him if he wasn't such a hypocrite.
"Craig's `wide Stance' Enters Lexicon"
BOISE, Idaho (AP) -- Among the most famous excuses ever given for questionable behavior, ''I have a wide stance'' must fall somewhere between the schoolchild's favorite ''the dog ate my homework'' and President Clinton's ''I didn't inhale.''
But Sen. Larry Craig's contention -- made just after his arrest in a restroom sex sting -- has permeated the public consciousness, showing up as more than just the punch line to late-night talk show jokes.
....Craig uttered the now-famous phrase after an undercover police officer at the Minneapolis airport arrested him on June 11, according to police reports.
Sgt. Dave Karsnia claimed Craig entered a neighboring stall after peering at him through a crack in the door, then slid his foot underneath the stall divider, tapping it several times before moving it so it touched the officer's foot. Then, Karsnia said, Craig waved his hand underneath the divider. Karsnia said he recognized the gestures as a coded invitation for gay sex.

During questioning, the senator said he simply has a wide stance when using the restroom and that the officer must have seen him reaching to pick up a piece of paper on the floor, according to the police report.[..]"
I just love this Republican ... the gift that keeps on giving and giving and giving...
With the Democratic party being so spineless these days, if it weren't for the zany hypocritical shenanigans of certain Republicans we wouldn't have any luck at all.
