Larry Craig w/ Matt Lauer tonight

What a weird interview. So far I've only learned a few things.

1. That Matt Lauer doesn't do research, since he said, "Cruising... whatever that is," as though he'd never heard the word before.

2. That I feel sorry for Larry Craig. Has there ever been another straight man so plagued by gay scandals throughout his entire life?

I'm gonna go with gay panic. "What? Why would I know some gay term?"

Is cruising ever a term applied to straights? "Cruising (for) chicks"

How sad that he couldn't tell his wife that he was falsely arrested right after it happened. I wonder why he'd be so embarrassed. When I get accused of something I didn't do you can't shut me up!

When I get accused of something I didn't do you can't shut me up!

Yes, we know, dear.

Matt Lauer is a notorious pvssy hound.

I found Lauer's comment to be more of a question on what they meant by "cruising" in this instance, not what it means in general. As if saying he was "cruising" is rather vague and he wishes they would have given more details. I love how they blew it off as just being a friendly neighbor!

I thought he did a fairly good job in the interview. He did not let him off the hook entirely. And I have to admit to getting the weensiest turned on as Matt demonstrated how the foot action works.
I do wish Matt would have asked him the question about why he would venture into the very public restroom when there is a lovely VIP lounge available to him? I wonder how far the bathroom is from the gate he was leaving from and if it was out of his way.

However, as for Craig, his shifty eyes and rehearsed speech were only made more disturbing by his mask of "pull up the cheek muscles and lift the eyebrows" to make him look a)not too worried, b)totally in love and/or c)hot.
Corine would never go for him, he had too much make-up on.

Poor Mrs. Craig, she needs another valium.

On the bright side how hot was the arresting officer!? That's the first time I'd ever seen a picture of him. What is he 22, 23?

I actually saw this tonite. Larry Craig is clearly a self hating, undercover fag that is spinning so fast, I'm surprised he wasn't green and puking like a geriatric Linda Blair.

Dobie Gillis, anyone?

With apologies to whoever posted this on Datalounge -- I just had to share it. Very well said:

"The question I would like to ask him is,

Having lived through the reactions from your fellow republicans--the complete and total contempt and ostracism you've experienced based on the smallest hint of homosexuality, do you now have a deeper understanding of what it must be like to live as a gay person in this country? Has it caused you to think more deeply about your own views of homosexuality and the mobilization of homophobia as a political device by your own party?"

AMEN.

As for the interview, I saw most of it, and it was an insult to my intelligence. Craig is so full of shame that common sense is gone, when it comes to his "alibi".

The other oft-heard comment of Craig's that really pisses me off is the whole "I don't agree with that lifestyle" thing. WTF does that mean, anyway? I know what they mean, but it's the most ridiculous over-used "sound byte".

If Craig was a victim of profiling, why wouldn't he just butch it up, then?

I think it's nice that he's concerned about litter.
