Me Think The Senator Doth Protest Too Much

Headline in LA Times:

Idaho senator declares his innocence

WASHINGTON — Sen. Larry Craig, the Idaho Republican who pleaded guilty in June to disorderly conduct after his arrest on suspicion of lewd behavior in a Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport bathroom, issued a statement today saying he was innocent.

“I am not gay,” he said twice during a 10-minute statement. “I did nothing wrong at the Minneapolis airport and I regret the decision to plead guilty.”

Because I can’t resist an opportunity like this:

If you were gay
That’d be okay.
I mean ’cause, hey,
I’d like you anyway.
Because you see,
If it were me,
I would feel free
To say that i was gay
(but I’m not gay.)

If you were queer
I’d still be here,
Year after year
Because you’re dear to me,
And I know that you
Would accept me too,
If I told you today,
“Hey! Guess what, I’m gay!”
(but I’m not gay.)

      I’m happy
Just being with you.
So what should it
Matter to me
What you do in bed
With guys?

If you were gay
I’d shout hooray!
And here I’d stay,
But I wouldn’t get in your way.
You can count on me
To always be
Beside you every day,
To tell you it’s okay,
You were just born
That way,
And, as they say,
It’s in your DNA,
You’re gay!
