I just got through watching the Jay Leno show on NBC. One of Jay's guests was Denis Leary, the actor-comedian and Emmy nominated star of FX's Rescue Me. Denis and Jay got into a discussion of Sen. Larry Craig's recent arrest for lewd conduct in a public toilet. Denis called the good senator a liar and gave three examples accordingly.
No. 1. Denis mentioned the press conference Sen. Craig held in which he said "I am not gay." Denis told Jay that anytime someone has to hold a press conference to announce they are not gay, they're gay.
No. 2. Denis talked about Craig's excuse for his foot sliding into the adjoining stall by telling the arresting officer that he spread his legs because he is big. Denis laughed that lie off by pointing to basketball star Shaquille O'Neal who is a great deal bigger than Craig. Denis said that if you spread your legs based on your size, Shaquille would have been arrested every time he used a public toilet.
No. 3. Denis laughed at Craig's claim that he placed his hand down only because he dropped a piece of toilet paper on the floor and wanted to pick it up. Denis asked Jay if he had ever been in an airport toilet. Denis went on to say that the floors there are so filthy, that if you dropped a fifty dollar bill on the floor you wouldn't ever pick it up.
As you know, in my blog CONSERVATIVE FAMILY VALUES COLLIDE WITH A SHITHOUSE STAKEOUT (August 29, 2007), I too called Sen. Craig a liar. Using his own comedic style, Denis Leary has reinforced my personal belief that Sen. Craig is indeed a liar. In this "he said, he said" controversy, I have to go with the arresting officer's version and judgement.
