I had some sympathy for Larry Craig. After all, his career and legacy is toast, his family is in turmoil, he'll soon be out of a job and unlikely to get a gig as a high paid lobbyist, and he's probably a conflicted soul. However, when I listened to the audio of his post-arrest interview, all sympathy vanished.
First, he claims he picked up a piece of toilet paper. Not just paper, toilet paper. Nobody, absolutely nobody, picks up toilet paper off the floor of a public toilet. A dropped piece of work paper, a plane ticket, sure, but not toilet paper. So all doubt about his veracity was erased.
The thing that really got me was how rude and condescending to the young police officer he was. Craig was just arrogant. No trace of humility. I can't abide hubris.
