How much media play would this story get if Barney Frank had been arrested in a similar situation?

Is a profitable, poignant, and most of all fun story for the media to play because it undermines the GOP's annoying blatherings about how "Father Knows Best" their America is.

Because now people are laughing at Larry Craig the self-righteous a$$hat.  Which is both fun and makes money.  It has also gotten a lot of people to go back and look at some of his past interviews and realize that he should have been laughed out of office years ago.

None of this would be the case if it were Barney Frank.

Stay alert, and stay with Fox.

Probably a little different, as Senator Frank is publicly gay.

The angle of "trolling in the bathrooms" would likely be a story still, as the remarkable fact (IMO) was that it was a US Senator.

of admitting to yourself that you're gay, like Frank, is that you don't have to cruise the john for a date.

No openly, self-admitted, whatever, gay guys go looking for love in the loo? Seems hard to believe, but what the hell do I know.

it seems like the place self-loathers would go to get laid.

Openly gay people can go to gay bars...not an option for Craig.
