    “Wide Stance” is a reference to the long-time R senator from Idaho who was busted by a detective at the Minneapolis airport while apparently looking to have anonymous gay sex in a restroom. It seems the way guys would signal their interest to each other was by playing footsie between the stalls, and Craig’s excuse was he is a ‘wide guy’ which somehow turned into ‘wide stance’.

    Also, check out the recipe he submitted to the Congress Cooks! cook book (which was really hilariously horrible, btw, it’s gone now but used to be on a site called virtualcities):

    The Super Tuber. Most homoerotic entree I have ever imagined… you are supposed to take a potato, cut a hole through it, grease it up, then shove a hot dog through the middle.

      The show Boston Legal has a bit about this. William Shatner’s character is trying to take a dump and gets accused of soliciting gay sex. This is also the episode where his phone makes the Star Trek communicator whistle.
