Larry Craig is a douche

The Washington Post has a great op/ed article that positions the Larry Craig hoopla with the esteemed senator’s stance on “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy in the military:
Poor Larry Craig. He’s being held to the same standard of sexual conduct he imposed on the U.S. armed forces.
Fourteen years ago, in his first term as a Republican senator from Idaho, Craig helped enact the military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy.

Did Craig’s arrest chasten him about “don’t ask, don’t tell”? Not a bit. “I don’t believe the military should be a place for social experimentation,” he wrote to a constituent two weeks ago. “It is unacceptable to risk the lives of American soldiers and sailors merely to accommodate the sexual lifestyles of certain individuals.”
