Senator Craig’s Dilemma:

I just watched Chris Matthews try to destroy Senator Craig on his show Hardball. Even the reporter that wrote the story on this said it could be wrong. Now I have no idea what is right or wrong with this story but let’s look at the facts as presented on hardball and examine them:

1. The police report said the Senator tapped his right foot on the floor in the bathroom stall.

2. The police officer said the Senator then tapped the police officer’s left foot.

3. The police officer then said the Senator swiped his had under the bathroom stall and that the police officer saw a gold band on the Senator’s ring finger.

4. The Senator said he was picking up a piece of paper and the police officer said he did not see any piece of paper.

Questions:

1. I just saw Senator Craig on Hardball denying this and I saw no gold ring on his right ring finger which is probably the hand the officer said the Senator swiped under the bathroom stall. It seems to me to be awful awkward to try and swipe your left hand in the positions they were in at the adjoining bathroom stalls, the married Senator does wear a gold ring on his left hand.

2. Unless the officer was on his knees looking into the other stall how could he know whether the Senator picked up a piece of paper or not.

There seems to be some problems with this story but no way for me to know if the Senator was soliciting sex or not, but certainly enough doubt to see there is something wrong with the interpretation of this case. There does not seem to be very much evidence for these types of accusations to be made and have his name and his families name drug through the mud. His pleading guilty to disorderly conduct was a point against him but I think we should let this play out and be completely investigated before calling Senator Craig gay, not that there is anything wrong with that.

Stumble it!
