Craig's Lisp
"I sit down, um, to go to the bathroom," says Senator Larry Craig in his post-arrest interview with Sergeant Dave Karsnia, "and ah, you said our feet bumped. I believe they did, ah, because I reached down and scooted over and um, the next thing I knew, under the bathroom divider comes a card that says Police. Now, um, (sigh) that's about as far as I can take it, I don't know of anything else. Ah, your foot came toward mine, mine came towards yours, was that natural? I don't know. Did we bump? Yes. I think we did. You said so. I don't disagree with that." (via CNN; listen here; read transcript here)

Aren't you supposed to cruise outside of the stall first? What about the urinal flirting first? What's with the foot tapping as a gay signal? I've lived in San Francisco for twenty years and I have more than a few gay friends... how come no one has ever mentioned foot tapping under the stall?
Isn't there some kind of restroom sex etiquette to follow to avoid entrapment or discovery?
Apparently my friends aren't slutty or closeted enough to know how to navigate these types of social interactions... or they're just keeping me out of the loop. Anyone have this info to share?
Thanks.

I don't think this sounds like a solid case. Whether or not he is a closeted gay man who cruises for sex, he defended his actions well in this interview. If this were a reasonable doubt situation I would have to call him innocent. The cop sounds angry that this may doesn't cower in the interrogation.
