Exclusive: Sen. Larry Craig's I'm-not-gay agenda

By John Breneman

After pinky-swearing to Matt Lauer that he is sooo not gay, Sen. Larry Craig got right back to congressional business – coming out in favor of stiff penal action for moral degenerates and hammering out anti-bondage legislation with the minority whip.

Craig, busted in June for trying to beef up his staff in an airport bathroom, has been waging a valiant one-man campaign to prove he is not gay.

The Idaho Republican told NBC's Lauer he is not bisexual, hates "gladiator politics" and only uses bathrooms "for bathroom's sake" – never for indulging the whims of his inner Village Person.

Asked why, in a restroom known as a hot spot for soliciting gay sex, he repeated a sequence of signals used by men to solicit gay sex, Craig chuckled that he was just trying to get some toilet paper off his shoe.

Lauer noted that the restroom's shady reputation was no secret on the Internet, but Craig – a member of the Congressional Internet Caucus – said he could not have known that because he has "never used the Internet."

As proof of Craig's vigorous stance against immorality, supporters point to his 1999 remarks calling adulterous President Bill Clinton "a nasty, bad, naughty boy."

The Humor Gazette has obtained an exclusive copy of Craig's itinerary for today:
