I know of a male senator who faked trying to pick up a guy in a men's bathroom who was playing footsie with someone in a stall next to him, and all the time proclaiming his innocence that he wasn't trying to get a date or solicit anything {except maybe a vote
}, and then claimed he wasn't gay either.
