Craig: It’s the Idaho paper’s fault that I pleaded guilty.
Repeatedly claiming “I am not gay,” Sen. Larry Craig (R-ID) blamed the media for his guilty plea of disorderly conduct. I have been “relentlessly and viciously harassed by the Idaho Statesman,” Craig complained. “The Statesman has engaged in this witchhunt. In pleading guilty, I overreacted in Minneapolis because of the stress the Idaho Statesman investigation and the rumors it has fueled all around Idaho.” Watch it:

August 28th, 2007 at 5:00 pmI can believe that he pleaded guilty out of pressure. You libs are ruthless. Remove the plank from your own eye before you attempt to remove it from mine/others.
August 28th, 2007 at 5:01 pmOverreacted? Wha?
August 28th, 2007 at 5:01 pmYeah, Right!!!!
It’s all the media’s fault.

It’s all those damn liberal democrat’s fault.
It’s all Bill Clinton’s fault.
It’s all my teachers’ fault.
Good advice there. When you’re charged with a crime and you want it to go away as quickly & painlessly as possible, don’t retain legal counsel & plead guilty.

August 28th, 2007 at 5:04 pmwhat’s he talking about?
.
In other words, he did’t do it, but he pled guilty to it because the newpaper said that he did it.
Brilliant!

Comment by Daryll — August 28, 2007 @ 5:01 pm
Of course you can. But to be honest you can also believe everything a Republican says no matter how outlandish. You probably believe Saddam was responsible for 9/11 and had WMD. You probably believe that Cheney & Rove have committed no crimes & only refuse to be questioned under oath because it’s unnecessary & a partisan witch hunt. You probably also believe that you’d be nonpartisan and would hold these beliefs if the subjects were Democrat instead of Republican. You might also believe that GWB has done good things for the U.S. So your belief system is clearly not working any better then the GWB administration.

AWW, Drew ……. sorry to disappoint, but he “went down” on his own. And I bet there wasn’t a Dem in sight!
August 28th, 2007 at 5:06 pmI am just a normal citizen with no legal expertise and I would never stand before a judge and plead guilty to something I did not do. Hell, even if I was guilty I wouldn’t say so, and get the best damn attorney I could afford. This man has 16 years of legislative experience. This means he has been intricately involved in the lawmaking process at a federal level for 16 years. And he expects people to believe he plead guilty to something he did not do, just because of pressure? Sure. Right.
August 28th, 2007 at 5:06 pm…and lo, the Holy Spirit came upon Sen. Craig and he was made sticky.
August 28th, 2007 at 5:06 pmI believe Daryll has a plank in his brown eye.
At least he isn’t using a crucifix anymore, that was disgusting.

Romney said the incident “reminds us of Mark Foley and Bill Clinton.” He said “dignity and character” is the most important thing Americans can expect from elected officials. “We’ve seen disappointment in the White House, we’ve seen it in the Senate, we’ve seen it in Congress. And frankly, it’s disgusting.”
August 28th, 2007 at 5:07 pm@14 LOL!
August 28th, 2007 at 5:07 pmYes I was looking in through the cracks in the door at the undercover cop. I then got in the next stall and moved my foot to signal sex. I kept moving it more and more.
But the newspaper made me plead guilty.
August 28th, 2007 at 5:07 pmAfter he resigns, maybe he can get a contract handling crisis communications for FEMA.
August 28th, 2007 at 5:08 pmNice,
I was waiting for this excuse, wasn’t sure we were gonna get it but here it is……phew!!
August 28th, 2007 at 5:08 pmIf he were to plead guilty because of pressure applied by the newspaper there are only two scenarios that fit the circumstances. The first is that he is indeed guilty and by pleading same he hoped the newspaper would go away. Secondly, he was not guilty and the pressure by the newspaper was slanderous or extortion. In either case he would have owned the newspaper after a brief lawsuit. I suspect that the lawyers for the newspaper are just a tad brighter than the little girlie-boy senator and he got caught with his pants down–literally and metaphorically.
August 28th, 2007 at 5:08 pmGot……to…..get…..plank……out of eye……..
BWAHAHAHAHAH!

Oh the newspaper made me tap my foot. Waaaaaaaaa. Effin hilarious-if the media would actually put the smack down on the complete ballosity of this “argument”. Wow….I can’t believe a grown man, a US Senator no less, would have the nerve to make this “argument”. Idaho libs, I’m sorry you have to suffer with such a dope. And all of you white supremacists, how’s it feel to have a homosexual representing you?
August 28th, 2007 at 5:14 pmThis is all sort of surreal. Senators do okay financially. Why a bathroom and an airport. So your gay or bi or whatever who cares (other than conservatives)? Why not just do your thing with a little more class?
August 28th, 2007 at 5:14 pmI also doubt that the newspaper in Idaho leans left. I was listening to the radio this morning, I live in Washington, and a guy from Idaho called and said that Craig has been know as “Leather Larry” for some time.
August 28th, 2007 at 5:14 pmI’m sure you believe that Daryll. You’ve proven time and time again to ignore facts and follow what the far right tells you. You also ignore most all that comes from the left.
It’s a given you’d believe him instead of the mountain of evidence and his own admission of guilt.
August 28th, 2007 at 5:16 pm“Thank you all for letting me come out today.” LOL. Putting Idaho under a black cloud? No…..it’s just you. It wasn’t the rest of Idahoans, lol.

I wonder where Ms. Z is? I bet she could give us a read on the paper’s stance.
August 28th, 2007 at 5:17 pmThere are some interesting details in the police report that aren’t being reported in the media. Check out the report posted at talkingpointsmemo.com. Craig was running his fingers along the bottom of the stall divider, back and forth, palm upward, his fingers protruding into the adjacent stall occupied by the police seargent. The officer didn’t move to arrest Craig after the foot tapping and foot contact. He did it later, when Craig started doing the thing with his hand.
Tell me what that was about, Daryll.

And supposedly there are photos out there about another Bush college roommate named James Bath showing Bush and Bath engaging in drunken sex acts on a roof. They were supposed to have been published before the 2000 election but the Bush goons stepped in and confiscated them from the National Enquirer.

Daryll,
In reality, the cops generally arrest people when the evidence is clear cut, and there is plenty of it. C’mon. This is like Paris Hilton signing a paper stating she knows she is not to drive, and then getting caught driving again. There is no wiggle room here.
August 28th, 2007 at 5:22 pmI can believe that he pleaded guilty out of pressure.

Yea like the four kids in New York who confessed to a rape they didn’t commit. You are a real piece of work Sir. There is nothing wrong with admitting when someone does wrong, doe the Repuppetcans scare you that much? I mean are you going to Gitmo if you realize the foriegn concept of truth and the realization that there are scumbags that call themselves Republicans?
This blind loyalty and tit for tat BS has to stop. It was the current POTUS who said that he was going to bring honor back to the White House, can you HONESTLY say that he and his people have done that.? You know the answer is know but you cant say so, why is that? Do the 29% er’s have something on you? Are you in touble and need help but can’t say because the camera outside is always on, following you, recording your every move and sound?
Or are you just that damn stupid (I’m sorry but I had to say it) that you will believe everything just not to give “the other side” any satisfaction.
Wrong is wrong people no matter who does it.
Stop the BS, there are people suffering everyday, and WE’RE gonna have to fix it soon and we wont as long as we continue to play D’s vs R’s.

August 28th, 2007 at 5:24 pmWow, sorry about the grammatical errors, I got a little amped up.
August 28th, 2007 at 5:24 pmOk Craig, you’re not gay, you just like man sex in public restrooms.
August 28th, 2007 at 5:24 pmAs Gore Vidal has pointed out… there are no ‘gay’ people, there are only ‘gay’ acts. People of both persuasions can engage in gay sex.
So in that sense, Craig is telling the truth perhaps. He is probably not gay. He is bisexual. Perhaps he likes animals too.
The issue here is - he votes against sexual and other freedoms. He lies about his proclivities. He lies, and lies, and lies and is willing to see other people suffer under the laws he supports. He has the power he thinks to engage in any kind of behavior he wants without consequences.
He’s finally gotten his comeuppance.
August 28th, 2007 at 5:25 pmHe was for his guilty plea before he was against it.

August 28th, 2007 at 5:25 pmThe problem isn’t that he’s gay. The problem is that he is soliciting random partners in airport bathrooms.
Seems rather high risk and poor judgement to me.
August 28th, 2007 at 5:26 pmDoes anyone know what was going on the week this happened? I’m amazed that they were able to keep it under wraps for over a month. Was there something “important” going on that week that it was in the best interest of the Corporocrats not to blare the story then?

August 28th, 2007 at 5:28 pmYes, when a republican cheats on his wife, he’s a hypocrite. Because republicans claim to have superior morals and viciously attack ALL dems and call it symptomatic of liberalism when one dem is weak.
The difference is that dems dont commit crimes when they cheat, as republicans do!

August 28th, 2007 at 5:28 pmIf a Republican Senator solicits gay sex in a men’s room and uses his business card as a get out of jail free card, and pleads guilty, the media ignores it.
If a Demcrat has heterosexual sex, impeachment is in order.

August 28th, 2007 at 5:32 pm“If a Republican cheats on his wife he’s a hypocrite, if a Democrat cheats on his wife, he’s not?…..Why is that?”
Because the Republicans are the “Family Values Party”. If you extoll numerous virtues that YOU DON’T POSSESS, you shouldn’t get all bent out of shape when you’re called a hypocrite.

So Craig admits he caved to the normal levels of pressures a Senator would encounter? He’s not fit for public office then. Guess life was too easy up there in Idaho for Craig, hasn’t got out of Idaho or the Beltway too much?
August 28th, 2007 at 5:33 pm…when Craig started doing the thing with his hand.
Tell me what that was about, Daryll.

Are you serious, or just slow?
If a republican votes against gay rights, then solicits anonymous sex in a public restroom from other men, then he’s a hypocrite.
If a democrat cheats on his wife he gets impeached.

Seriously, Daryll, that’s about the weakest thing I’ve ever read. If this were a Democrat you wouldn’t be stretching that far.
Maybe he’s epileptic and his seizures make him tap his feet and reach under a men’s room stall… Give up your dream.
By the way… why are you online? Shouldn’t you be at your recruiter’s office seeing if they’ll let you in the Army? The islamofacists are coming and Uncle Sam needs YOU. Be the man you wish you were, and enlist, little man.

August 28th, 2007 at 5:36 pmOh poor baby. Does Idaho really want a Senator who can’t stand up to the local newspaper. Does Idaho really want a Senator who pleads guilty to a sex crime because he was “harassed” by a newspaper? Does Idaho really want Craig as their Senator. My bet’s on NO!
August 28th, 2007 at 5:36 pmA big difference between the sexual indiscretions of the Dems vs. Repubs is that the Repubs use conservatism, religion, and “family values” as a way to get people to vote for them. They have fooled their base into believing that tripe.
August 28th, 2007 at 5:36 pmLet us wait until trial convenes. The officer’s report maybe false. The Senator may have been pressured. If so, he should sue those who pressured him for blackmail.

This is something else that bothers the hell out of me. So-called religious people who act holier-than-thou in public, but behind closed doors wild the hell out. if you believe in God and all of his wonderful blessing, and that he created heaven and earth, dont you think that he can see your stupid ass doing dumb shit thru a roof or door.
It’s like Dallas Cowboy fans who say that there is a hole in the roof so God can watch his favorite football team, so when I say “Can’t God see thru the roof”, or, “what about stadiums without roofs, he’s watching them too”, I get no answer.
So explain to me why is it that all who claim to be so religious NEVER worry about God when they think they’re alone, doing nast, filthy things. Then get caught and say I asked forgiveness from God and it was given. The next person who say’s that is gonna have to prove it.

I apologize. I didn’t realize that he plead guilty. My sister is an Air Force Officer who was stationed in Mountain Home AFB.

I truly do not understand why he chose to plead guilty. This is his trial and tribulation time and I choose to stand behind him 100%.
August 28th, 2007 at 5:41 pmLarry Craig-we do not care if you are GAY, we care if you are a hypocrit and liar. Also what you were accused of doing in the restroom is sick, lots of not-gay closeted STRAIGHT types probaly do that same thing.
Also, Demorcrats usually have a libertarian view about morality while Republicans insist that their way is THE way, i.e. Dems don’t say that we WON’T cheat on our wives. Plus if we are gay we just are, no need to hide it in the public restroom.

August 28th, 2007 at 5:41 pmThe guy votes against gay rights for years, but has been cruising men for gay sex since at least 1967. That’s the point. I know the trolls are in the business of playing dumb, but they’re not cute enough to play dumb.

You sound like those “but the police are our friends” types who denounce any and everyone that has ever said that they were a victim by police. Now you want to wait until the trial and even imply that the officer could be lying. That is not a Republican thing to do (attacking a policeman’s character) but it sure sounds Repuppetcan-ish. Remember you are the party of law and order (unless it is you, then you want a favor), throw the bums in jail, no dissent. Why would the officer lie? And why would Mr. Craig pull out his “I’m a Senator, leave me alone” card? And why would his lawyer tell him to plead guilty?
If this man is that dumb to plead guilty when he is innocent, then he is not fit to make the type of decisions that are needed to protect this country.

So much for being viciously hounded.
Also, he plead guilty “in hopes that it would go away”????
I thought pleading guilty made it part of your permanent criminal record, or doesn’t that apply to Republican Senators?
And, Romney thinks that Clinton’s experience somehow opened the door for Craig’s conduct??? “Yeah, he got impeached, so I’ll try tapping my toes with a wide stance” - RIGHT!

Here you go: http://www.cnn.com/ 2004/ ALLPOLITICS/ 08/ 12/ mcgreevey.nj/
With his wife standing by his side, McGreevey — a father of two — spoke in calm tones as he described his struggle with his sexuality, “a certain sense that separated me from others.” It was something that he said began as a child.
“At a point in every person’s life, one has to look deeply into the mirror of one’s soul and decide one’s unique truth in the world, not as we may want to see it or hope to see it, but as it is,” McGreevey said.
“And so, my truth is that I am a gay American,” the Democrat said.
……. It goes on:
One Democratic strategist close to McGreevey said his speech was “well delivered and, I think, well received. But given what’s ahead for him, it’s downhill from here.”
Even as he acknowledged his sexuality, McGreevey spoke of the “suffering and anguish” he had brought to his family and friends, saying he would “almost rather have this moment pass.”
“For this is an intensely personal decision and not one typically for the public domain,” McGreevey said of his revelation. “Yet, it cannot and should not pass.”
U.S. Sen. Frank Lautenberg, a Democrat, said in a written statement that “my heart goes out to Gov. McGreevey and his family.”
Democratic Chairwoman Bonnie Watson Coleman issued a written statement with a similar sentiment.
“Our hearts and prayers are with Gov. McGreevey and his family during this time,” Coleman said. “The Democratic Party of New Jersey will remain strong and united as it stands behind the ideals and values that it has always fought to protect.”
Garden State Equality, a gay rights group, called McGreevey’s coming-out speech “poignant” and said its members’ thoughts were with the governor and his family.
“We all know how difficult it is to come out as openly gay, whether to family or other loved ones,” Garden State Equality chairman Steven Goldstein said. “No one could imagine what it’s like to come out to 300 million people — this is totally unprecedented.”
