The AP is reporting that Larry Craig will announce his resignation from the Senate this morning. While I think all republicans ought to step down on general principle for the way they’ve screwed this country up, this is terrible news. I, for one, would like to see an openly gay man in the Senate, even if it’s a republican.
I guess he must have taken the advice of Patrick Sammon, president of the Log Cabin Republicans, who says that Craig may not be able to continue serving in the Senate effectively. And I guess if Craig is looking for advice, that’s a good source. I don’t know anyone more in touch with what it’s like to be a self-loathing queen than the president of an organization dedicated to his own repression and discrimination.
Still, I’d rather that Craig stay in the Senate and come out of the closet. We might have to assign somebody to follow him into the bathroom to keep him out of trouble, but it’d be nice watching his fellow republicans squirm.
We’re hypocrites. We love Ginsberg and Wilde yet Clinton and this poor fucker are destroyed by the media.
