Forcing Larry Craig's resignation while embracing David Vitter Cost-free moralism is the only type the right-wing "traditional marriage" movement believes in. Glenn Greenwald [2007-08-30]

• "Wide stance" not possible

  Everyone seems to be missing an obvious point regarding Craig's "wide stance" defense; unless he completely doffed his pants and underwear a stance wide enough to encroach into the adjoining stall n not possible.

  Craig seems to be somewhat less corpulent than I and presumably wears pants of the same or narrower waist. Just for kicks I measured my "stance" while on the pot. Even with my pants and jockey shorts down to the floor, the widest "stance" I could get, out-to-out of my toes, was 26-inches without busting the seams on both.

  The standard width of non-handicapped toilet stalls is 32-inches.

  But maybe Craig normally sits sideways or askew on the toilet?
