I can´t wait to read how mistreated he was and he only pleaded guilty to try and keep the entire process out of the press and keep his wife and friends out of the public eye. A book about being arrested, a book about being treated bad by the police, a book about how he´s not gay, a book about how after pleading guilty only to change his mind after the entire affair was made public, he decided to plead innocent and not gay. The Senator has been pleading not gay for many years. Just because he says it, doesn’t make it true.
And now a book that tells his side of the story, about how he´s not gay and was only minding his own business in an airport bathroom stall that was known to be a gay hook up place. With enough complaints that the police setup a sting operation to encourage the people hooking up to move on to somewhere else.
First of all, who cares? Second, what in the world could be in the book that everyone doesn’t already know? More about the Senators gay denials? A book by a Senator falsely accused of being gay? People are standing in line already and it’s not even out yet. Who’s the idiot publisher that would even give him a deal? It would be a better book if he included his exclusive confession about being gay, hiding it, actually being involved in the Washington DC page scandel back in the 80’s all the efforts he’s had to go through trying to hide his gayness and his guilt of how he’s voted against the entire gay community all of these years in government.
That would be a book that would sell a few copies, unlike his present book deal about how he’s not gay and he was falsely arrested for having a wide stance.
Senator Larry Craig is a Republican, representing the state of Idaho. He has served in the US Senate since 1991 and was in the US House of Representatives before that. In August of 2007 the Capitol Hill newspaper Roll Call rist reported that Senator Craig had been arrested in the men’s restroom at the Minneapolis Saint Paul airport in June 2007 and had pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of disorderly conduct. After the publicity, Senator Craig changed his mind and decided to change his guilty plea to not guilty. Senator Craig announced he was going to resign from the Senate, then a week later changed his mind and decided not to resign. After a Senate ethics committee investigation, Senator Craig is not going to seek re-election in 2008.
Which is about the time his book will come out and this entire debacle will be back in the press and the publicity he doesn’t want, will be on the front page again. Senator Craig writes a book about his bathroom antics and being arrested will be back in the news and he will again get the publicity he doesn’t want.
