Larry (wide stance) Craig has given the vapors to GOP leadership by saying he'll serve the rest of his term and McConnell is having a hissy. At least Bob Allen had the (excuse the expression) decency to resign his post as McCain's go-to man in FL.
Well, Larry Craig (R-ID) and Bob Allen (R-FL) have to move down a few stalls because their tap routine has gone from duo to trio. And the new stall-stomper is...Councilman Joey DiFatta of St. Bernard Parish.
From NOLA Times Picayune:
Larry Craig has become a National punchline.St. Bernard Parish Councilman Joey DiFatta, who on Thursday withdrew from the 1st Senate District campaign, has been stopped twice since 1996 for suspicion of engaging in lewd behavior in public restrooms in Jefferson Parish, records obtained by The Times-Picayune show.
DiFatta, 53, acknowledged that reports he had been stopped are true, but he denied any wrongdoing in both cases. He said he was not prosecuted in either case and has no arrest record.
"If I had done something wrong, I would have been arrested," DiFatta said Thursday afternoon. "I was not. I will deny that I was involved in any activity of that nature."
Earlier Thursday, DiFatta called reporters to announce that he planned to withdraw from the Senate race. He said he has been having chest pains for a few weeks, and elevated enzyme levels indicate he might have had a minor heart attack in the past few days. As a result, his doctor advised him to slow down and make some changes in his life.
It would be funny if it weren't so terribly sad.
Please read the whole sordid thing about DiFatta here.
It's worth it.
And they tell me I'm queer!
More later.
