Senator Larry Craig is either incoherent or incompetent – or both. His press conference on Tuesday afternoon was exactly the wrong thing to do - on nearly every level. And I for one do not believe that most of his story holds.

Save this one item, when he stated clearly, "I am not gay!"

I'm sure there was no merriment whatsoever in his life the preceding number of hours up to the press conference.

Who doesn't have the foresight to call counsel and request representation especially in this day and age in which such allegations against a conservative will always be used as a whip to beat the living daylights out of the "moral values" section of the political right? Furthermore who doesn't even inform his wife of the nature of such allegations three months previous so that she is not "shocked and devastated" when the mainstream liberal media acts predictably and begins the assault on this person?

I was asked by the Lovely Bride Tuesday afternoon as I was preparing to discuss this on CNN that evening, "Why would he vote in favor of marriage all those times? Doesn't that perpetuate the blogosphere's claims that he is a self-hater?"
