"He Said/He Said"   [Jonah Goldberg]

I don't know what Larry Craig's been doing in men's rooms. And it sure sounds like I don't wanna know either. But, whatever the facts turn out to be,  I just love his office's initial statement (later updated):

A spokesman for Craig described the June 11 incident as a “he said/he said misunderstanding,” and said the senator's office would release a fuller statement later today.

Call me crazy, but I would have thought that it's press flacking 101 not to further sexualize a controversy in which you are denying that sex had anything to do with it. Other great denials might be:

"The alleged 'victim' wasn't his type."

"This is all a terrible misunderstanding. The Senator is a bus station man."

"He was with me in Provincetown at the time."

"He doesn't need to cruise bathrooms to find guys." 

"Oh, no she didn't!"
