Is anyone else sick of this "do not recall" horse shit?
-- Robert Ritter
If you thought "do not recall," as a popular phrase, had experienced its best moment in human history in any of this recent American political wrangling, you were as delighted as I was this afternoon. Witness, in the case of admittedly indecent Senator Larry Craig, the transcript of his police interview, which was recorded shortly after his arrest at the Minneapolis International Airport (great place, btw). Key word being shortly, as in, "not even longer than the length of a short comedy movie":
DK (Sgt. Dave Karsnia): Okay. Did you do anything with your feet?
LC (Senator Larry Craig): Positioned them, I don't know. I don't know at the time. I'm a fairly wide guy.
DK: I understand.
LC: I had to spread my legs.
DK: Okay.
LC: When I lower my pants so they won't slide.
DK: Okay.
LC: Did I slide them too close to yours? Did I, I looked down once, your foot was close to mine.
DK Yes.
LC Did we bump? Ah, you said so, I don't recall that, but apparently we were close.
DK Yeah, well your foot did touch mine, on my side of the stall.
LC: All right.
DK: Okay. And then with the hand. Urn, how many times did you put your hand under the stall?
LC: I don't recall. I remember reaching down once. There was a piece of toilet paper back behind me and picking it up.
DK: Okay. Was your was your palm down or up when you were doing that?
LC: I don't recall.
DK: Okay. I recall your palm being up. Okay.
LC: All right.
Quick question: have you EVER had a stranger, in a stall next to you in a public restroom facility, touch you, in any way, shape or form, in the entirety of your human life? Think really hard about it. I think, if a stranger's foot happened to receive a tap from my fucking foot, due to any action performed in a public restroom stall on my part, I'd be able to recall that, pretty clearly. I know I would immediately apologize and be ridiculously embarrassed. Now that this tape has come out, there is no other explanation for Senator Larry Craig's "wide stance" (that he didn't do anything inappropriate, and that he doesn't recall important details of the time shortly before his criminal arrest) of no wrongdoing. He is a liar. A fucking embarrassment to our United States.
Somebody link him to this blog and see if he wants to debate me on this.
