Ladies and Gentlemen, it's great to see some Larry Craig lovers here in the house tonight. Seriously though, do you even know who you're defending? It's not his sexual preference that's the joke. It's a perverted scandal in a dingy airport restroom that includes a Republican Senator with a staunch record of voting AGAINST gay rights --- that's your homophobe. Who then acts even more stupid insisting he is not gay, over and over again. And over and over again, jumping all the way back to 1982, when he was accused of molesting male teenage congressional pages, all the while passing drug laws while (allegedly) high on cocaine. Then there's his whole "I will not resign" on again off again circus show. There's a lot to laugh at! hmm, homophobia on boingboing?

sad.
