I was so completely taken aback by Senator Craig’s abject failure to resign with some modicum of dignity that I couldn’t help asking him about it. I interviewed him last night from the stall next to his in the public Men’s room in Union Station. <\/p>\n
BUMD: “Senator, was your plea of guilty to the charge of lewd conduct in a men’s restroom an admission that you had, in fact, conducted yourself in a lewd fashion in a men’s restroom?”<\/p>\n
Sen. Craig: “In pleading guilty, I overreacted … that overreaction was a mistake, and I apologize for my misjudgment.”<\/p>\n
BUMD: “Senator, can you tell readers about your sexual habits while doing your best Nixon impression?”<\/p>\n
Sen. Craig: “Let me make one thing perfectly clear: I am not gay and never have been. The Idaho people have got to know whether or not their Senator is a homosexual. Well, I’m not a homosexual.”<\/p>\n
BUMD: “Was the cop who busted you at least cute?”<\/p>\n
Sen. Craig: “Oh yeah – he was definitely a credit to the force.”<\/p>\n
BUMD: “Kinda gives new meaning to ‘copping a feel,’ doesn’t it?”<\/p>\n
Sen. Craig: “In admitting that he looked good in his uniform, I overreacted. I overreacted because of the stress of your questioning me in this stall and the rumors it has fueled around this bathroom.”<\/p>\n
BUMD: “So, he wasn’t cute?”<\/p>\n
Sen. Craig: “Again, that overreaction was a mistake, and I apologize for my misstatement.” <\/p>\n
BUMD: “Well, thanks for clearing the air in here, Senator.”<\/p>\n
Sen. Craig: “My pleasure. You’re not as ugly as I expected, you Big Pretty Man Doll, you!”<\/p>\n
BUMD: “Oh, pshaw.”<\/p>\n
Sen. Craig: “Call me Daddy.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
