Sen. Larry Craig arrested, pleads guilty.
Roll Call reports today that Sen. Larry Craig (R-ID) was arrested in June at a Minnesota airport for “lewd conduct” in a men’s public restroom. On Aug. 8, he pleaded guilty to “misdemeanor disorderly conduct. He “paid more than $500 in fines and fees, and a 10-day jail sentence was stayed. He also was given one year of probation.” The arresting officer’s report explains:
My experience has shown that individuals engaging in lewd conduct use their bags to block the view from the front of their stall. From my seated position, I could observe the shoes and ankles of Craig seated to the left of me. […]
At 1216 hours, Craig tapped his right foot. I recognized this as a signal used by persons wishing to engage in lewd conduct. Craig tapped his toes several times and moves his foot closer to my foot. I moved my foot up and down slowly. While this was occurring, the male in the stall to my right was still present. I could hear several unknown persons in the restroom that appeared to use the restroom for its intended use. The presence of others did not seem to deter Craig as he moved his right foot so that it touched the side of my left foot which was within my stall area.
UPDATE: Larry Craig called Bill Clinton “a bad boy, a naughty boy” in 1999.

August 27th, 2007 at 5:43 pmMore details than we really need here, we know this poor fool is done for politically. Senator, please resign and do your self a favor.
August 27th, 2007 at 5:43 pmOr, have the guy in the next stall do you a favor.
Okay, so what is going to be the right-wing take on this? Defer to “Cold Cash Jefferson”, or say that liberals are gay bashing? At least the Senator plead guilty, so this doesn’t have to be another long, drawn out, Tom Delay, Bob Ney, Duke Cunningham, Mark Foley thing.
August 27th, 2007 at 5:43 pmWhere is Zooey? She will eat this up!

August 27th, 2007 at 5:45 pmA Republican and lewd conduct. Let’s see the trolls line up to stand behind this man.
August 27th, 2007 at 5:45 pmMaybe he thought the officer was black and didn’t want to be attacked. Isn’t that how the Republican logic works?
August 27th, 2007 at 5:45 pmYes but the good, conservative folk in Idaho believed he would represent their values…..
Dumbshits. (except Zooey, of course)
August 27th, 2007 at 5:45 pmWhat a romantic, classy set of facts.
August 27th, 2007 at 5:45 pmYou republicans sure are a seedy lot for a bunch of stump preachers.

I mean, c’mon. Those guys are easy!

Oh crap. Can you imagine that your job is such that you know such things? Next time I’m in a public washroom, I’m going to remain as still as possible. You just never know if a closet gay christian is looking for some action.
August 27th, 2007 at 5:47 pmSomeone is gonna need the “Ted Haggard” salvation treatment. Then he’ll be as good as new.

“Tap,tap…..oh look a foot…..tap,tap….and he’s gay…YES”
August 27th, 2007 at 5:49 pmMaybe he was just looking for Bob Filner’s(D-CA) luggage.

Why is an arrest that happened in June only being reported upon in late August, weeks after a plea deal was entered? Was this reported locally back then? Seems with a Senator involved it would have made national news immediately. Is this normal? What am I missing?
August 27th, 2007 at 5:53 pmCan’t these guys get a hotel, and call for a “massage”.
August 27th, 2007 at 5:53 pmSo, after he spends his ten days in jail, will he return to the senate?

August 27th, 2007 at 5:54 pmWhy wouldn’t he just go crawl in a hole. How bloody embarrassing - hiding in the closet - I mean bathroom. Come on Larry, just say it out loud - “I’m gay”. It’s ok Larry you can do it.
August 27th, 2007 at 5:54 pmPoor Zooey, Sali and this idiot? Maybe Idaho will elect some democrats now?
August 27th, 2007 at 5:54 pmYeah, and some Democrat was gay once…

Oh shit GMT, I guess I don’t use public washrooms much. Graffitti was a bit different when I was in University.
August 27th, 2007 at 6:01 pmJudging by this guy’s voting record, he’s just another piece of crap GOPervert, who does not know who he is, and is not interested in knowing himself. He denies his own humanity to keep his position of power. He does not think for himself, he does what he is told to do by the Administration, and the Bible.
The ones who are most adamently against something, are the most likely to be engaged in whatever they are against.

I bet they are really thinking it.
August 27th, 2007 at 6:05 pmNow I understand the term “Daddy Party”,thats what republicans call a bathroom stall hook-up.
August 27th, 2007 at 6:06 pmAt first, I thought this story was about the Republican who offered an undercover cop $20 to give him a blow job in a public restroom. But now I realize that was Republican Congressman Bob Allen who was busted a couple of months ago. This involves yet another Republican restroom escapade. There are so many of these now I can’t keep track anymore.
August 27th, 2007 at 6:06 pmClinton did lewd conduct too!!!
August 27th, 2007 at 6:06 pmGOP Religious values continued. Now the people of Idaho are represented by a Senator who performs
August 27th, 2007 at 6:06 pm“lewd conductâ€. The numbers keep climbing with the GOP and their sick actions. Is this the new definition of US Republican Christian Values. Fingers Foley had alot of friends that were just as sick as he is, who’s next.
I am a constituent of Senator Craig’s. In my several letters to him, he has always responded in a condescending way, not addressing the issues I raised. The letters written by me to him were respectful and courteous, however, he seemed to always act like he knew better than me, that he was morally superior.
Craig has now proven what I have known for many years. He is a fraud. More interested in power than doing the will of the people of Idaho.
August 27th, 2007 at 6:06 pmClinton did lewd conduct too!!!
Remember Clinton did it too.
No one remembers? Oh well.
August 27th, 2007 at 6:08 pmMore Republican stall tactics…

August 27th, 2007 at 6:17 pmI am amazed.
Can _anyone_ explain to me why in the US there are cops doing undercover work in men’s stalls, undercover work that looks suspiciously like something that the Thought Police would come up with?
August 27th, 2007 at 6:18 pmBob, just admit your gayness.
It´s ok. I guess you can play football and get laid without a shower in the middle.
August 27th, 2007 at 6:18 pmTapping your foot repeatedly and placing it next to the foot in the next stall is more than just about gay sex - it’s about power and dominance.
It’s about Power Over Others - or POO
August 27th, 2007 at 6:18 pmDo you think this guy thought to himself in that stall, “hey, Clinton did lewd acts so I should be able to do it too?” as he is pulling down in his pants in that public restroom.. Yeah, that makes sense to me.. I’d like to hear him use that defense in court. ;-)
August 27th, 2007 at 6:19 pmI know the GOP blows but I had no idea there was warrantless tapping even in the restroom! I have a feeling we haven’t seen the climax of this yet.
August 27th, 2007 at 6:19 pmZed,
I have plenty to be outraged over. You, however, seemed to be overly reactive to gayness, and then generalized your outrage to “breaking the law”.
Zed you are homophobic.
August 27th, 2007 at 6:19 pmYou figure he should make enough cash to find someone not in a restroom. I guess he figured if he hired someone it would be in a phone record somewhere heh
August 27th, 2007 at 6:19 pmI don’t think Clinton ever did what this guy is guilty of. Now he’s going to do some hard time. Confined with other men doing hard time.
yeah, that’s bad. I’m done.
August 27th, 2007 at 6:19 pmThe bathroom BJ…these folks make Bill Clinton seem like a real stand up, normal guy for getting oral from a female intern. I’d always looked at it that if I was the President of the most powerful country in the world couldn’t I get some decent action…that is the real disappointment. Now we see that maybe that isn’t so weird as Senators and congressmen have to resort to a Bathroom BJ from some random person…wow bad judgement for your BJs so to speak. Being in Govt. appears not to get you laid anymore.

Spuddie your such a family type guy.
August 27th, 2007 at 6:25 pmLook at Craig’s voting record
A quick review of his voting record above shows a pattern where any bill with the word ‘ban’ in it he voted for.
Any bill that gave people power - marriage, stem cell research - he voted against
So he’s about keeping power to a small group that includes himself. That’s what white male Republicans are about - keeping power within an elite circle and keeping power away from everyone else

Republican logic 101: A republican soliciting sex from an undercover police officer is much better than two democrats having consensual sex. One is worth impeachment, the other is an actual crime. Watch, after his 10 days in jail he will be welcomed back to the senate by his fellow repubs.

August 27th, 2007 at 6:31 pmI in no way mean to defend Senator Craig, especially in view of the fact that he has repeatedly voted to make gays second-class citizens.
But as long as society continues to consider homosexuality shameful and indecent, some gay men will engage in illicit behavior to obtain sexual gratification. Many gays feel they are forced to live in the shadows, that they are by definition “sick immoral perverts” anyway, and live their lives accordingly.
The stigma on homosexuality needs to be lifted, homophobia needs to be eradicated, so that more healthy and safe methods for gays to meet and “hook up” will become the norm.

Admit your obvious obsession and accept that prefers Hillary to you.

This is true, Egg, but it certainly doesn’t help when people like Craig can’t even pretend to be neutral about it.
It’s also possible that Craig is one of the people, gay or straight, who gets satisfaction from the dangers of public sex and who would have been trying to hook up in a restroom regardless of whether there was a stigma attached to gay sex or not.
August 27th, 2007 at 6:37 pmCall me naive, but I had not clue about this. The next time I am in a public stall, I’m going to have to watch where I put my attache case and beware of people in the next stall tapping their foot.

August 27th, 2007 at 6:41 pmSen. Craig was just being “FRIENDLY” to his neighbor that’s all. Doesn’t everyone tap three times to indicate you want to play footsie with the guy in the next stall? Leave it to liberals to make this innocent flirtation into something GAY bashing. What’s a little touching between girls, got to do with anything. I mean, guys, of course. I didn’t mean to imply the Senator is gay. Just because he let his emotions get the best of him, doesn’t mean he’s gay. When is the last time you saw a GAY Republican. They believe in family values, so they can’t possibly be gay. They look down on Gays when they are on top of them. Larry, I mean, “loraine” is a good ole boy, he couldn’t be gay. They just don’t have openly gay guys in I-da- Ho, or should we say, “he-da-he”, when describing Craigs advances toward a cop?

Clinton did not solicit sex with a male in a public restroom. He only engaged in sex (or everything but in Mona’s case) with adult women at private locations.
But Craig’s most serious problem is that he has been exposed as another family values hypocrite.

August 27th, 2007 at 6:46 pmThe reason that family values hypocracy is so prevalent among Republicans is that for many of them family values is just a ploy to get lower income people to vote against their economic self interest by voting for the party of the rich.

You’re right, Egg. Sen Craig is quite literally unreachable right now, but that’s the message I left on his Washington voice mail.
He needs to resign immediately — not because he’s a gay man, but because he’s a filthy hypocrite.
I don’t like Sen Craig one bit, but it’s because of his assholierthanthou attitude and horrible voting record — not because of his sexuality.
He perpetuates the fear and loathing of “the gay” by hiding in the closet, and I don’t know how he lives with himself.

He grew up on a ranch outside Midvale, a ranch he likes to brag his grandfather “homesteaded” in 1899. Now, unfortunately, it will be viewed as the Brokeback Mountain of the Potato State (lol).
and
Craig believes that discharging your weapon is protected by the U.S. Constitution (no pun intended).

What kind of a Senator would plead guilty to a crime and then say it didn’t count and it never happened because he didn’t really mean to plead guilty to the charge? Is this the type of person who is competent to enact laws?
