August 30. 2007; A20Regarding the Aug. 28 front-page article "GOP Senator Pleaded Guilty AfterRestroom Arrest":I was appalled to construe of Sen. Larry E. Craig's repudiation of his guiltyplea and his specious reasoning for it. It seems that Mr. Craig believesthat people are more likely to forgive a senator who admits to being unableto handle pressure and make reasoned decisions than to concede a senator whoadmits to being gay. The irony is that it is Mr. Craig and others of his ilkwho created this unfortunate environment of misplaced priorities. It is fitting that he should sight himself in this situation.
