According to the police report, the undercover officer was monitoring the restroom at noon on June 11. A few minutes later, Craig entered and sat in the stall next to him. Craig began tapping his right foot, touched his right foot to the left foot of the officer in the stall next to him and brushed his hand beneath the partition between them. He was then arrested.
Pathetic. And there's feel of entrapment to the story. Whatever the case, I wish our culture were a little more grownup about people's sexuality. The Larry Craig incident makes me sad for a variety of reasons as well as irritated at Republican duplicity and hypocrisy. How much better if Larry Craig had been stopped for harrassment, gender of the victim left unstated. But it's a hypocritical society in which we still live -- all of us, Democrats as well as Republicans. We can't seem to stop pointing and giggling when it comes to sexual issues. Are we going to get over it anytime soon? And move on to the important stuff? Or are we stuck here?
