GOP Sen. Larry Craig tells reporters 'I am not gay' Q1x00010_9 Sen. Larry Craig, R-Idaho, is scheduled to make a statement on his arrest and subsequent guilty plea to charges that he engaged in disorderly conduct in a bathroom on June 11 at Minneapolis St.Paul International Airport. Update at 4:38 p.m. ET: Craig just stepped in front of the microphones. He was with his wife "First let me please apologize to my family, friends and staff and fellow Idahoans for the cloud placed over Idaho," he says. "I did nothing wrong at the Minneapolis airport. I did nothing wrong and regret the decision to plead guilty." Craig blames the Idaho Statesman, his local paper, for mounting an intensive investigation into reports that the GOP lawmaker was a homosexual who trolled public restrooms for sexual partners. The paper didn't publish anything about Craig's sexual orientation until this morning, after the arrest was reported by Roll Call. "In June, I overreacted and made a poor decision," he tells reporters. "While I was not involved in any inappropriate conduct at the Minneapolis airport or anywhere else I chose to plead guilty in the hope of making it go away." Craig says he didn't seek counsel from his family, friends or attorney while deciding how to deal with the arrest. He has asked his attorney to review the matter and advise him on how to proceed. "I am not gay. I never have been gay," Craig says. POSTER COMMENT "I'm not gay. I just like to fuck boys." Roy Cohn

Wow. The poor, sick bastard. And, what about the cop having to make a living that way? "Yeah, Send Sgt Karsnia. He cute in a sweet boy kinda way and those old queens will go wild over him!" This is how law enforcement careers are made, boys and girls. The citation will read "Sgt Karsnia made more arrests than any other officer in the history of law enforcement, and he undertook his duties with an enthusiasm and dedication that serves as inspiration to police officers everywhere!"
