He should really give up the denial act, do a 180, and just say, "Yes, I fucked all those guys. I'm not just gay, I'm wicked hot and guys 20 years my junior want my throbbing, 12-inch member so bad they're lined up out my (stall) door. I'm not gettin' over myself 'cause there's too much to get over. Deal, bitches."

Only marginally related, since I couldn't swear that this guy is a Republican. But the basic pattern is the same: a Boy Scout leader who sued Berkeley municipality when they challenged the BSA ban on gays and atheists has now been arrested on charges of molesting boys in his troop.
Heh. The preface ad to that article happened to sport a mock-MySpace page for a 16-year-old girl, with the header "I HEART BOYS."

The American Civil Liberties Union has filed an amicus brief citing a previous Minnesota Supreme Court ruling that stated people having sex have an expectation of privacy in a bathroom stall. They argue that Senator Craig was only inviting consensual sex to the officer in the next stall, thus did not solicit sex in a public place, the act that led to the charge of disorderly conduct for which he initially pleaded guilty. Senator Craig is currently trying to withdraw his guilty plea and may not really want the ACLU support for behavior Craig is now denying happened.

Two reasons, they work well in pairs and already have the suits.
On a related note: During my freshman year in college a classmate came running into a friend's dorm room looking for me. Breathlessly he announced that there were a couple of guys who looked like FBI agents down at my room and they were looking for me. I strolled down to my room to see what all the excitement was about only to discover that they were not FBI agents but a couple of Mormon missionaries who had come to deliver my free copy of the Book of Mormon. I had checked out a copy from the library and it had a post card in it offering a free copy. So I sent for my free copy and they were there to deliver it. While I was relieved that they were not actually FBI agents, I was a little disappointed as well.
