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 pmLOL republican accountability at its best.
August 28th, 2007 at 5:00 pmIf you're not gay, you got funny bathroom habits.
August 28th, 2007 at 5:00 pm"When Larry lied, no one died"
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.
August 28th, 2007 at 5:01 pmIt's all Barney'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 5:01 pmand it was your jimmy legs got your toes-a-tappin'

August 28th, 2007 at 5:03 pmIn pleading guilty his arrest and admission became public information.
Anybody whos ever been arrested knows that when the Lawyers start sending you letters the next day!
August 28th, 2007 at 5:03 pmonce again.. let me repeat... i'll say it again ...one more time for the gipper...
I AM NOT GAY!
tap ... tap ... tap.
is thing on?
August 28th, 2007 at 5:03 pmThat's rich. I blame anyone else but myself for my own actions.
He will be reminded of the offical court records showing he admitted to this behavior and that he knew, or should have known.

Daryll, would you call that "torture"? Hell, he wasn't even waterboarded!
You Repugs can't handle the truth!
August 28th, 2007 at 5:04 pmis this a classic case of delusion, or what?
the press SAT on this story, if they knew at all...
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!
August 28th, 2007 at 5:04 pmI can believe that he pleaded guilty out of pressure.
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.

August 28th, 2007 at 5:05 pmWhy do the police stop so early in the process? Why not keep going until he's taking his pants off with another man? That wouldn't leave what happened open to much interpretation.

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.
Tell me Daryll, how do you get the shit off your Christ?
August 28th, 2007 at 5:07 pmI can believe that he pleaded guilty out of pressure.

Comment by big papa — August 28, 2007 @ 5:05 pm
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!
August 28th, 2007 at 5:08 pmHe's not gay he just likes gay sex.

August 28th, 2007 at 5:14 pm(Tho maybe he wishes it had been the three-legged man... )
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.
August 28th, 2007 at 5:16 pmGo away Larry Craig, the more you speak the worse you look.
Your career is over, the best you can hope for now is that, in a year or two, you are forgotten.
August 28th, 2007 at 5:16 pmRomknee said the incident “reminds us of Mark Foley and Newt Gingrich, Ted Haggard, Bob Allen, Ted Klaudt, Joseph Monteleone Jr, Jeffrey Nielsen, Michael Flory, Patrick Lee McGuire, Jeffrey Kyle Randall....just too many {R}'s to mention folks!â€

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.

August 28th, 2007 at 5:18 pmI can't believe he began his statement by saying: "I want to thank you all for coming out today". I wanted to post this earlier but I've rolling on the floor laughing for the past hour. Oh, the the irony.
August 28th, 2007 at 5:18 pmDaryll's very survival depends on his ability to maintain his belief system. He feels he would die if he didn't. He would at least have a nervous breakdown if his belief system was somehow penetrated.
August 28th, 2007 at 5:18 pmYour not gay if your the one doing the driving!!!
August 28th, 2007 at 5:18 pmHolding on to whacky beliefs in the face of of overwhelming evidence to the contrary is a sign of great weakness, Daryll.

____________________
Google Victor Ashe, Bush's college roommate who is openly gay and who Bush appointed to the ambassadorship of Poland. 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.
August 28th, 2007 at 5:20 pmCraig: "I'm not gay."
Nixon: "I'm not a crook."
August 28th, 2007 at 5:20 pm"for 8 months, I and my family have been the targets of a vicious witch hunt by the Idaho Statesman"
read: The Idaho Statesman is somewhat paying attention to me and I don't like it.
This guy is too much. Any trolls around to defend this dude?
August 28th, 2007 at 5:20 pmFamous GOP bullsh#t:
August 28th, 2007 at 5:22 pm"I am not a crook",
"The US does not engage in torture",
now, "I am not gay".
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.
Comment by Daryll
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.
I'm sick and Tired Of Fighting. wink

If a Republican cheats on his wife he's a hypocrite, if a Democrat cheats on his wife, he's not?.....Why is that?
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 pm"I'm not gay"
--------------------------
Maybe he thought he was in the ladies room?
August 28th, 2007 at 5:25 pm... In other news... Bush is preparing to attack Iran..
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 5:26 pmWhile America ponders about whether Craig is gay or not, Bush is preparing for WWIII in Iran.

Bzzzt! Wrong-o! A Republican cheating on his wife doesn't makes him a hypocrite. It makes him an adulterer. Same goes for a Democrat.
A Republican speaking against something which he himself does, that's what makes him a hypocrite. The same would go for a Democrat.

August 28th, 2007 at 5:28 pmHey, at least he wasn't soliciting a young boy...
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 pmGod this guy is starting to disgust me. Come to think of it pukes disgust the nation.
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 5:29 pmI applaud Ringo for not blindly backing up Lare Bear and buying into his "witch hunt" story.
The "wide stance" defence is the funniest thing I've seen in a long time!
I don't care if he's gay - I just really hate hypocrates - especially religious hypocrites, which the majority of Repugs seem to be.

No, what makes a hypocrite is this:
Newt Gingrich was cheating on his wife while denouncing President Bill Clinton's extramarital affair
August 28th, 2007 at 5:30 pmCome on Ringo, you can figure it out. If you live your public life by demonizing those that don't meet your moral requirements you'd better live up to them yourself. If you don't, you're a hypocrite, regardless of your party affiliation.

Let 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.

Daryll I am sorry but there is simply no imperical evidence to support such an idea. If you wish to believe that I respect it but don't try to suggest that anyone who doesn't is in correct. It makes more rational sense to believe in UFOs and space aliens then it does to treat stories as fact
August 28th, 2007 at 5:31 pmDave C. You had to explain that to Ringo? Some people just don't want to see what's really out there.
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?"

People also existed before Jesus was even born.
So..... Wrong...
Let 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.
How do you propose determining that the officer's report is false? Everyone else in that room had their mouths full, they couldn't tell what was going on.
August 28th, 2007 at 5:33 pmDarryl, he plead guilty already. What trial?

Daryll he plead guilty and paid the fines. There isn't a trial, its a done deal.
August 28th, 2007 at 5:33 pmWhat's behind the right's different response to David Vitter's call girls and Larry Craig's boy trouble? In a nutshell, the boys.
As the old expression goes, you are what you eat. And that imagery, apparently, is behind the growing conservative chorus calling for Craig's resignation.
For the details, see:
August 28th, 2007 at 5:33 pm"Behind the Right's Double Standard on Craig and Vitter."
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.

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 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.

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 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.

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.

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."

August 28th, 2007 at 7:09 pmCraig was dumb to plead guilty. If you read the police report, it's pretty obvious he was entrapped. Did the cop get a BJ from Craig before he arrested him?

Newt handled his adultry no better or worse than Bill Clinton. Bob Livingston hadled his better, he acknowledged his failing and resigned from his job.
Your position seems to be predicated on the idea that because Republicans promote "family values" then they are hypocrites if they fail to live up to their words - and perhaps you're right. But that also means that Clinton and McGreevy are not hypocrites only because they DON"T advocate "family values"....which is hardly any better.
Unless of course it's merely a double standard...Afterall, would you have been as generous to Ronald Reagan had he been the one getting the blowjob and playing hide the cigar in the Oval Office while lying under oath in a sexual harassment suit?

If Ronald Reagan had been banging anyone but Nancy, I'd have given him a cigar. Hell, a whole box. And good cigars, too.
You really don't get it, do you? It's not the adultery, it's the goddamn hypocrisy of an adulterer publicly slamming someone else for the very same acts. Not to mention, at least one of those adulterers was having an affair while his wife was in the hospital being treated for cancer.
I personally haven't judged anyone for acts of adultery, because it's not my business and because my own life hasn't been all that pure. But I'm not the one hounding a President for political reasons, making speeches about the bad, bad man, while committing my own sexual transgressions.

There was a huge amount of noise from the Republicans, including a number who have since been outed as having affairs or consorting with prostitutes, about how horrible it was that Clinton was having an affair and how it set a terrible example for the country and blah blah blah. Good Lord, there wouldn't have been an impeachment if there hadn't been lying about the goddamn affair, so how can you possibly suggest that that wasn't the root of the issue.

Thank you Ringo. That is quite inspiring. A gay man who came out in public and admitted he is gay. Now, did he spend his career bashing gays and voting against any gay legislation? Did he promote himself as a "family values" kind of guy while bashing anyone who didn't live up to his standards?
I think not. I think what he did was quite inspiring and it is in no way comparable to what Craig is and what Craig did.
Nice try though.

BTW, if Craig had had the courage to come out and admit he was gay I would commend him too. But I would still consider him unfit for office because he was so dumb as to solicit gay sex in a bathroom. That's not only dumb, it is also dangerous. What if the man in the next stall had been a homophobe. He could have been killed for what he did.

Someday you may make sense, but I doubt it.
August 28th, 2007 at 8:35 pmCraig and Allen,(Rep,Fla) should both make the switch ,dump their Bit@hes...and be look-outs for one another in all the toilets they can find.
Their next job: URINE CAKE CHANGER's- by THE END OF THE WEEK... HE'S DONE!
August 28th, 2007 at 8:35 pmAllens' $20. buck B.J. jury trial Sept. 19th..
GOpee 'ers..
Has anyone noted the Senator is from the great state of Ida-Man-ho?
August 28th, 2007 at 8:38 pmMe thinks he doth protest too much.
August 28th, 2007 at 8:41 pmCraig's not Gay -maybe just a little queer.Thank God there wasn't a glory hole.. He just wanted to cop a feel! Surprised the cop didn't vomit!
August 28th, 2007 at 8:47 pmNo reason to get embarrassed if you’re not doing anything wrong, right?

August 28th, 2007 at 8:53 pmLibs harrassed him.
Comment by Mr. President the Honorless Coward
Prove it.
August 28th, 2007 at 8:54 pmShow us where anyone harrassed him before the sentencing.
Provide the link.
And explain to us again, Mr. Pee, as to why Saudis are not muslum.
I need a good laugh.
August 28th, 2007 at 8:56 pmFirst the culture of corruption, then the culture of gay sex; what will it be next for the GOP?
The culture of beastiality or of cannibalism?
August 28th, 2007 at 8:59 pmAbsolutely!
Unless some libs LIE!!! about you and SLANDER!!! you.
Comment by Mr. President — August 28, 2007 @ 8:53 pm
Yeah, pleading guilty over LIES, hehehe, you wingnuts can never tell the difference between a LIE/SLANDER and the TRUTH. So, we'll help you out MR PEEE... If it comes from YOU or your FELLOW REPUBLICAN, it's usually a LIE...
There, simple...
August 28th, 2007 at 9:01 pmThe liberals in the MSM forced this guy to plea guilty!
Comment by Mr. President — August 28, 2007 @ 8:06 pm
This is how you know that Mr. Pee is either completely braindead, or just yanking the world's chain because he's a bored, useless little sh*thead...

Braindead
August 28th, 2007 at 9:06 pmHe's gone.
Question o' time.
August 28th, 2007 at 9:29 pmNew thread up on Craig at top.
August 28th, 2007 at 9:36 pmCaption Contest:
Craig: "I'm not gay! I thought I was in the ladies! I'm really just a pervert, but god forbid I'm gay!"
August 28th, 2007 at 9:37 pmWho cares if he's gay as long as he does his job? The citizens of Idaho are paying him for this?
August 28th, 2007 at 10:09 pmKeep telling yourself that Larry Boy!

Dude, why do you try to stretch so hard? You were almost starting to make a little sense, but then you always fall back to not even rationally thinking something through before posting.
You say that the Republicans would be hyprocrites if they were lying under oath while making accusations at Clinton??
Clinton's impeachment was a consequence of his lewd ACTIONS. That is the point you need to get through your thick skull. When Sen. Craig said that Clinton was a "bad boy, a naughty boy," he wasn't referring to his lying under oath, he was referring to the lewd ACTIONS which subsequently lead him to lie under oath.
How you can exclude any Republican who criticized Clinton's actions while their own actions were questionable, JUST BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T LYING UNDER OATH AT THE TIME is absurd.
Surely you can process that bit of simple logic and realize where you erred.
August 29th, 2007 at 12:24 am^--- That last comment was directed at "Ringo" but my html markup was off.
August 29th, 2007 at 12:24 amWhat's really sad is that instead of hanging a lantern on their problems, people like Craig will continue to deny that they have issues. I think we need people in office that will admit that they've made a mistake; then we can perhaps forget about it, and maybe get back to more important issues.
August 29th, 2007 at 1:13 amFirst off, how would you know what happens in cases like these?
Comment by JefferyK — August 28, 2007 @ 7:12 pm
Guess what.....
.....Craig wasn't arrested, charged OR tried in Idaho
Yeah, larr-ri. And Roy Cohn wasn’t, gay, either. He died screaming it out as the poor bastard lay dying of AIDS.

August 29th, 2007 at 1:55 amHit the "post I agree" button before I meant to
To follow up on the very last part of my previous post, it reminded me of a Simpsons episode, as you hear Paul Harvey doing "the rest of the story", in which you hear
"And that little boy that nobody liked, grew up to be Roy Cohn"
August 29th, 2007 at 1:57 amMaybe the Clinton era of "anything goes" infected the Poor Man (tm) an he just couldn't help himself. yeah, that's it.
August 29th, 2007 at 2:04 amHope his wife gets checked.
Don't worry, Craig. We can cure you of your gayness in three weeks or less. Call me.

August 29th, 2007 at 2:22 amRemember that old love song:
You made me plead guilty
I didn't wanna do it
I didn't wanna do it
You made me plead guilty
Woops, maybe I don't quite have the words right. Oh well, close enough.
August 29th, 2007 at 2:38 am#912 - If you know your bible, you will notice that Jesus had conservative views. Comment by Daryll — August 28, 2007 @ 6:01 pm
Oh really?
Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. [Matthew 5:9] Well, last I heard, it was the Liberals that wanted to end the war of occupation in Iraq, NOT the Conservatives. I think you missed this verse when you were looking to suppor your bias.
Thou shalt not kill. [Matthew 5:21] I don't hear Conservatives call for the end of the death penalty. Missed this one as well.
Love your neighbor as yourself.[Matthew 22:39] Just so long as your neighbor is a straight conservative and not a gay liberal, right? I guess Jesus didn't finish the verse to meet your prejudices.
Why don't you remove the plank from your eye before you begin to worry about the splinter in mine, eh Daryll?
August 29th, 2007 at 7:00 amNobody with any sense of decency cares whether you are gay or not, Larry.
But gay is as goes does. Next time you are in the Twin Cities, don't go trolling for queers in airport bathrooms -- that way your Christian supporters won't write you off as an abomination and a hypocritical punk. Your Christian voters hate gay people and now they'll hate you, too. Next time do what Ted Haggard does, hire a gay prostitute and get a room, for God's sake.
August 29th, 2007 at 10:23 amWoops, I meant gay is as gay does.
August 29th, 2007 at 10:24 amThe Republican party is filled with freaks of nature like this guy. They dupe all you republican voters out there, but they are the last people in the world you should be voting for. But you can't help it, can you? That's the trouble with your authoritarian personality, you don't have control of your own mind.
August 29th, 2007 at 10:49 amWhat is it about proclaiming yourself a Republican, publically and politically coming out (no pun intended) against gays and homosexuals, and being a closet gay yourself?
Is hypocrisy just part of the DNA of Republican politicians?
August 29th, 2007 at 11:25 am#320:
Good point.
What is it about Republican voters that they seem particularly gullible and naive (and stupid) in supporting hypocrites like Craig?
Does not speak much for their discriminating wisdom, does it?
