Is Larry Craig really doing the Hokie Cokie? Is that really what it's all about for him?
I admit to feeling sorry for him: there he is, happily in the closet, having to resort to soliciting anonymous encounters with others like himself, and he gets caught.
If he could have been happy in himself, in his body, in his sexuality, perhaps he could have been happy in his life. Instead, he's become the butt of a bunch of jokes -- some of them mine --- and will be miserable, probably for a long time to come.
It is harsh to wish someone ill because of their past actions, words, deeds, thoughts: and I am conflicted, because I do not wish to be or seem harsh: but his words and actions have hurt a great number of people, especially people who are like he seems to be: unwilling to divulge what to them seems an awful, terrible secret to an uncaring hateful world. But still, he has been one of the ones making that world uncaring and hateful.
Oh well, to paraphrase: detest the hatemongering, not the hatemongerers.
But I still don't know if he is planning to resign!
Yours, caring about those he has hurt,
N.

It always strikes me as odd every.single.time a public figure gets caught out--you'd THINK they'd have learned by now that someone is ALWAYS watching and find them at their absolute worst moment. If more of 'em would just come clean and live the life that makes them happy, they might find that the public is more understanding than they think.
But that's just me. :)
HELLO! Michele sent me and it was a pleasure as always!
