Some of my favorite excuses!!

Tommaso Stenico was only pretending to be gay. Senator Larry Craig has a wide stance. Congressman Robert Allen was scared by all the people of color. Ted Haggard thought he was just getting a massage.
In regards to Tommaso (great name!), I am really disappointed. He wasn’t even trying to be creative with his excuse. Tons of catholic priests have gotten away with sexual abuse of children and weren’t kicked out of the church. Here, he is at least hitting on an adult - and it is assumed, by me at least, that the flirting was consensual - and the church kicks him out. Either the church has it’s priorities screwed up or they were not pleased with the excuse. Must be the excuse. =)
