The Lady Doth Protest Too Much

On an ABC News report in 1982, so long ago that the networks hadn't yet felt it necessary to permanently tattoo their logos at the bottom of the screen, Idaho senator Larry Craig was a congressman and even then vehemently denying he was gay, though no one had said he was. He wanted to set the record straight JUST IN CASE he might be implicated in a congressional-aide homo sex scandal that was bubbling under at the time, because, he said, "unmarried persons, as I am, by choice of by circumstance," are always the subjects of "innuendo, gossip, and false accusations," which he found "despicable."
