He has a wide stance

They have just released the tapes of Sen. Larry Craig’s interrogation after his arrest for soliciting sex. And I’m sure the words of the interrogating police officer express the feelings of some around the nation.

OFFICER: I just, I just. I guess, I guess I'm gonna say I'm just disappointed in you sir. I'm just really am. I expect this from the guy that we get out of the hood. I mean people vote for you.
CRAIG: Yes, they do.
OFFICER: Unbelievable, unbelievable.
CRAIG: I'm a respectable person and I don't do these kinds of...
OFFICER: and (INAUDIBLE) respect right now though.
CRAIG: But I didn't use my left hand.
OFFICER: I thought that you...
CRAIG: I reached down with my right hand like this to pick up a piece of paper.
OFFICER: Was your gold ring on your right hand at anytime today?
CRAIG: Of course not, try to get it off, look at it.
OFFICER: Okay. Then it was your left hand. I saw it with my own eyes.
CRAIG: All right, you saw something that didn't happen.
OFFICER: Embarrassing, embarrassing. No wonder why we're going down the tubes. Anything to add?
DETECTIVE: Uh, no.
OFFICER: Embarrassing. Date is 6/11/07 at 1236 interview is done.
CRAIG: Okay.
