Why are folks upset over KitnaÂ’s costume?

Detroit Lions quarterback Jon Kitna and his wife dressed up as a naked man and a fast-food drive-through attendant at a teammate's Halloween party, depicting an embarrassing moment for one of the team's assistant coaches.

Now Kitna is getting some flak on local TV and in a newspaper column. Kitna said he was just trying to have fun, but regrets the scrutiny the costumes created.
"If I would've known this, I wouldn't have done it because I didn't want to try to bring attention to it," Kitna said Wednesday while surrounded by reporters and television cameras.

Defensive line coach Joe Cullen pleaded no contest to disorderly conduct and guilty to impaired driving after he was arrested twice last year, once in August 2006 after police said he was driving nude through a Wendy's drive-through lane, and a week later when they said he was driving under the influence of alcohol.

Especially since the butt of his joke doesnÂ’t seem too troubled by the Halloween silliness.

"When we talked yesterday, the first question out of his mouth was, `Did you win?' He seemed to not have a problem with it."

I’m curious – had he appeared as Senator Larry Craig, would there have been this controversy? And let’s be honest here – if this is the worst dirt you can dig up on Kitna, there really isn’t anything to complain about. No guns, no dead dogs, no drugs. Lighten up, folks.
