Somewhere between eight and thirteen men have reported having had sex with Sen. Larry Craig or been the target of his sexual advances during his political career. The Idaho lawmaker, an opponent of gay rights, called the allegations "completely false” and denied being gay at a news conference.
One of the men identified in the report, Mike Jones, 50, described as a former male escort, was the focus of the sex scandal involving the Rev. Ted Haggard, the disgraced leader of Colorado's New Life Church. He claims that Craig paid him $200 for sex though he does acknowledge that being identified with Larry Craig would get publicity for a book he’s written about his experience with Haggard.
My reflections:
How long a layover did Craig have at the airport? Why didn't he hang out at the Cinnabon counter, like the rest of us?
$200 for sex? Haven't the rates kept up with the cost of living? You could make that stuffing envelopes or by selling an old platter on e-bay.
Don't writers hire publicists to promote a book? Should we be expecting Philip Roth to claim he had sex with Larry Craig?
