So which smoke screen is he going to use:

He already did guns

Did he pull his “Race Card”

Or is it going to be pointing at Larry Craig and hiding under a very cramped desk?

He just needs to give a tearful speech....

“MY TRUTH IS THAT I AM A GAY AMERICAN”

“.... and so my little “gifts” to this woman were merely party favors for a friend, nothing more.”

Suicide attempts come in several forms.
