Larry Craig Opens Up About Why He Did Not Tell Wife About Arrest

Idaho Senator Larry Craig and his wife sat down with "Today host Matt Lauer to break their silence and talk about his guilty plea in a sex sting at an airport bathroom. Craig answered a question about why he didn't tell his wife about the arrest until the press was about to break the story months later. We suspect that his reluctance to tell his wife stemmed less from his "embarrassment" and more from his desire to keep the arrest as quiet as possible. After all, Craig had a Senate career and a marriage to protect. From NBC 10/16

Dude. Just admit you're gay. Write a book about your 'journey.' Then Oprah will have you on as a guest and you can cry with her on TV.

Craig Discusses Keeping Arrest In Bathroom Sex Sting Secret From Wife: "It Was A Tough Call, It Took A Wide Stance."

[Clarabell]

He's getting funnier by the minute. But he's a Republican, and they can get away with it. Also, I'm beginning to think that the reason he is still around is that he probably has something on somebody.

CNN said they were going to have Craigs first sit down interview since the sting took place.

I was wondering if this was the first time he had been able to sit down since the sting?

Oh I can't believe i said that.

[Chump]

Well, he shouldn't have been allowed to cause the discussion and publicity to revolve around whether or not he is GAY!
Why couldn't one of the reporters or bystanders have asked him right then, "But aren't you a QUEER?
He probably confides to himself, laughing up his sleeve, "Those stupid bastard liberals...there's NO SUCH THING AS GAY! So there's no way they can accuse me of lies! Yippee!"

Is it too late to ask him if he's queer?

As is said about Little Britain's Daffyd - the only gay in the village - I do think ol' Larry boy "likes the c#ck".

About as tough as shoe leather, eh, Mr. Widestride? And what's that gloop all over your chin?

[noamjunior]

considering his unprotected sexual encounters put his wife at risk - Craig is an amoral jerk

[doodlefarbe]

Chomper-lite writes, "considering his unprotected sexual encounters put his wife at risk "


Which were those? You have information, you should get the word out.

[noamjunior]

the Idaho paper that broke this story listed men who claim to have had encounters with craig

[BWonka]

Larry continues to look and sound stupid. He had 2 months to decide what to do and then he PLED GUILTY! He knew exactly what he was doing. He hoped in would remain his dirty little secret.

It didn't. And now, this typical ReTHUGlican coward is blaming EVERYONE else for his FAILINGS.

Hey, Larry - thanks for your help in the destruction of the GOP - couldn't happen to a more deserving group.

[LIR]

Stay around awhile, Larry! We LOVE you making a spectacle of yourself and putting the closet cases of the Repig Congress on notice that they have to be on their Ps and Qs or face certain outing and the subsequent scrutiny afforded to those who lead a double, phony life. These Repig closet queens feel that their jobs are so important that they can go on sucking and fucking at rest stops, airport bathrooms, and hotel rooms, as they endanger the welfare of their wives, if they have one, and deceive their constituencies and even their children, again, if they have any. Revolting slimeballs.

[noamjunior]

Face it
Cons hate pro gay lobby groups because most mainstream pro- gay groups denounce unprotected sex with anonymous partners, doing meth with male prostitutes, and unwanted sexual advances towards minors-
all things that cons apparently will not give up

[wordvarc]

The RNC/GOP should take a WIDE STANCE on this situation.

If not, they risk TOE TAPPING their "family values' facade.

Minneapoli­s.....(dam­n Vista stuttering keyboard!)

[Qbear]

Minnepolis wasn't Larry's first time at the Stall rodeo, there is a tape of a man who had oral sex with Craig in Union Station, a year earlier, and he was outed all over the queer web.

[nick1936]

I hope the Judge throws out his guilty plea then we can have a jury trial on the original sex soliciting charge,Boy that would be a real blast watching Larry on the stand explaining why he was peeping threw the stall door for 5 minutes and yelling to the Jury " I AM NOT GAY" " I AM NOT GAY"

[wmbear]

ACTUALLY, CRAIG ***ISN'T*** GAY...

Gay is the entire lifestyle of openly declared homosexuals who are comfortable with their sexuality. Craig is a closet homosexual with an extremely sleazy modus operandi. I believe the correct technical term for such a person is "pervert."

[DixieMelody]

In the Idaho Statesman's half-page writeup detailing the perv's induction into the Idaho Hall of Fame, I found it interesting/telling that at the dinner where the recipients were honored, Queenie Craig sat at a table with his mother while his "wife" sat at a different table with her children.

[9Hockeyman]

Look at Craig, George Bush and Victor Ashe. All are closeted queens dominated by an overbearing mother.
