And now, the comedic stylings of Larry Craig!

If Larry Craig (R-3rd stall on the right) were any farther in the closet, he'd be an overcoat:

Throughout the NBC interview with Lauer, Craig maintained his innocence and said he was a victim of profiling when an undercover police officer arrested him on June 11 for lewd conduct in a Minneapolis-St. Paul airport men’s room.

Craig also had harsh words for the treatment from his Senate GOP colleagues — what he referred to as “gladiator politics.” Craig had the harshest words for Romney, the former Massachusetts governor who had tapped Craig as his congressional fundraising co-chairman. Romney condemned Craig’s behavior and dropped him from the presidential campaign within hours of Roll Call’s scoop about Craig’s arrest. Craig told Lauer that he was “very proud of my association with Mitt Romney.”

“I’d worked hard for him here in the state,” Craig said. “I was a co-chair of his campaign on Capitol Hill. And he not only threw me under his campaign bus, he backed up and ran over me again.”

Hmmm ... where have we heard that campaign bus line before? Oh, yeah:

Speaking of Romney, another source points out that Craig might be taking his talking points from a sworn enemy of his party: MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann.

In the NBC interview, Craig said that Romney “not only threw me under his campaign bus, he backed up and ran over me again.”

That’s not unlike what Olbermann said on his “Countdown” show Aug. 29: “Thrown under the bus by Mitt Romney, now Romney has backed up the bus to run [Craig] over again.”

Craig also told Matt Lauer yesterday that he doesn't use the Internet.

Really?

When Lauer asked Craig whether he knew about the Minneapolis airport bathroom’s reputation as a “hot spot” for gay trysts, Craig said: “Matt, you won’t believe this. But I don’t use the Internet. I don’t have a computer at my desk. I’ve never used the Internet. It’s just not what I do. I e-mail with my BlackBerry. No, I did not know that. I had no reason to know that.”

That’s interesting, in light of the following:

» In an op-ed he wrote this summer on the SCHIP health care program, Craig refers to doing a Google search on the term “mission creep.”

» He’s a member of the Congressional Internet Caucus.

» He co-sponsored a bill designating June 2007 as National Internet Safety Month.

» He was presented with the 2007 Internet Keep Safe Coalition Award.

» On his Web site, he lists as a top accomplishment a Silver Mouse Award given to his site in 2003 and 2006 by the Congressional Management Foundation in 2003 and 2006.

» When he endorsed Mitt Romney for president, he did so on YouTube.

Larry Craig is truly the scandal that keeps on giving.
