Sen. Larry Craig's interview with Matt Lauer



Larry Craig: Matt, I use bathrooms for bathroom's sake.

***

Larry Craig: Matt, I'd love to tell you the story. And let me tell you why. In this media storm that we've been in, you've heard one side of the story. The facts have just got covered up. And-- I think it's very important that I speak to them … So, I go to the bathroom to use the bathroom for bathroom's sake. I walk by the stalls. I glance at them to see whether they're full. I stand out in front of a couple of them waiting. And I look. And I see some movement. Ah, one of them is opening up. I go in.

***
Larry Craig: Something attracted my attention, and I looked down. And as I looked down, I saw a piece of toilet paper on the floor. And it happened to be under my heel … and I don't know if you've seen it before, but I've seen it, somebody walk out of a booth with a piece of toilet paper stuck to their foot. I'd reached down to take it off my shoe, or out from under my shoe. And my hand did go below the divider at that moment in time.

***
Matt Lauer: You have taken, senator, several opportunities to say, come out point blank and say, "I am not a homosexual."
Larry Craig: Uh-huh (affirm).

Matt Lauer: Which raises two questions in my mind. One of them, and you're going to have to forgive me for this, are you technically not a homosexual? Is it possible you're bisexual?

Larry Craig: It's no to both.

Matt Lauer: The other question is do you think it would be something that would be awful? In other words, do you view it as something that would be awful to have to admit that you were gay?

Larry Craig: I don't agree with the lifestyle. And I've said so by my votes over the years and by my expressions. Have I viewed it as awful? I viewed it as a lifestyle I don't agree with.

PBS Frontline - Cheney's Law



For three decades Vice President Dick Cheney conducted a secretive, behind-closed-doors campaign to give the president virtually unlimited wartime power. Finally, in the aftermath of 9/11, the Justice Department and the White House made a number of controversial legal decisions. Orchestrated by Cheney and his lawyer David Addington, the department interpreted executive power in an expansive and extraordinary way, granting President George W. Bush the power to detain, interrogate, torture, wiretap and spy -- without congressional approval or judicial review.

1. Larry's embellishing his story.

He's had a lot of time to think about it.

[spanone]

2. matt, would you care to see my wide stance?

[Stephanie]

3. Oh, the Indignitude!

He is quite put out with that impudent officer.

[NYC]

4. Is that a real interview with Craig?

Is that actually what they'll be discussing on national television? Whether or not a piece of toilet paper sticks to a shoe?

It's no wonder I don't watch television.

[Stephanie]

5. That's the transcript of Lauer's interview tonight.

Go to the link for more - he's really working it.

[NYC]

7. I don't know if I want to go to the link for more.

This is utterly ridiculous. How can they occupy television time with such drivel?

I hope no one watches.

[Stephanie]

6. This Cheney story is scary.

"This is going to have to be a country ruled by men, not laws." - DC on 9/11.

[NYC]

8. Men? As in he-men? Macho men?

Tougher than laws? What cowboys. There ought to be a law about stealing elections.

[Stephanie]

9. Hey Nic, how are you?

What a long bumpy road it's been, eh?

[NYC]

13. I would like to feel the long bumpy road is coming to an end.

I sincerely doubt it is.

I also suspect the economy will be taking center stage very soon. Too much subprime fallout, too much credit card debt, too many outsourced jobs.

Wake me up when you see the road getting smooth again. :hi:


P.S. I see your picture threads from time to time, but I'm usually too revolted by the sight of GWB to comment.

[L. Coyote]

10. BUT, does Cheney know why Larry doesn't flush, and where is the piece of TP?

[Individualist]

11. Frontline was excellent

It left no doubt about who is running the government.

[rocktivity]

12. TORO TURD!

"I walk by the stalls. I glance at them to see whether they're full." When you want to see if a stall is full, you look UNDERNEATH it for a pair of feet, not through the crack in the door for a face!
