Four gay men describe encounters with Sen. Craig.

Four gay men describe encounters with Sen. Craig.
The Idaho Statesman reports that “four gay men, willing to put their names in print and whose allegations can’t be disproved, have come forward since news of U.S. Sen. Larry Craig’s guilty plea. They say they had sex with Craig or that he made a sexual advance or that he paid them unusual attention.” The Statesman has audio clips of the men’s accounts. A fifth unidentified man described a separate encounter at the Denver International Airport in September 2006. (HT: Atrios)
UPDATE: On Aug. 28, the Statesman reported the accounts of three other anonymous males who claimed to have encounters with Craig.

Surprise, surprise!
December 2nd, 2007 at 1:53 pmLemme guess, the four are, Mark Foley, Jeff Guckert, Rev. Donald Wildmon, and Ken Mehlman. (PLEASE make it so.)
December 2nd, 2007 at 1:55 pmDon't forget McConnell, Lott, or Gannon, badmoonman.
December 2nd, 2007 at 1:59 pmWell, Senator Craig. It looks like the ball's in your mouth. I mean court.
December 2nd, 2007 at 1:59 pm#3: "Don’t forget McConnell, Lott, or Gannon, badmoonman (sic)."
December 2nd, 2007 at 2:02 pm- - FYI...Gannon IS Guckert.
Comment by Badmoodman
All except Guckert. It would actually increase the sales of his crappy "book."
But the same gay hooker who serviced Rev. Ted? The irony is astounding.
December 2nd, 2007 at 2:02 pmI'm now wondering if Sen. Craig shouldn't be tested for meth use. At least if he tested negative it would give him a chance to distance himself from the Haggard scandal, which now overlaps his.
December 2nd, 2007 at 2:06 pmAh Jeebus....
December 2nd, 2007 at 2:08 pmCraig seems to have split personality, as do many Republicans.

Obviously Republicans have all the integrity, right?
DeLay
Craig
Hastert
Lott
Bush
Cheney

December 2nd, 2007 at 2:10 pmWell, the CON trolls are getting into the action fairly early.
December 2nd, 2007 at 2:13 pmHey "Patriot", if the RepubliCONs hadn't been so eager to bring down Bill Clinton because of someone's "personal sex life", they wouldn't be getting bit in the ass now.
Certainly, you've heard of "what goes around, comes around". Well, the 'CONs have it coming around.
Gannon IS Guckert.

December 2nd, 2007 at 2:14 pmUSA_Patriot lol yeah Dems should stay out of Gay Republican's sex lives.
December 2nd, 2007 at 2:15 pmNever again should we hear a Democrat say we should “stay out of peoples’ personal sex lives,†if only Democrats had a shred of integrity.
Comment by USA_Patriot — December 2, 2007 @ 2:06 pm
Once you again you are making the automatic assumption that this is the result of what Democrats are doing. It is not. It is the report of a newspaper, not the DNC.
Tell us, why do you assume that any time a Republican is being criticized for being a hypocritical liar, that it is the work of Democrats, and not ordinary, apolitical Americans?
BTW, whether or not you realize it, you have just publicly called Sen Larry Craig's integrity into question. Are you a Democrat?
December 2nd, 2007 at 2:21 pmWhy are all Republicans publicly opposed to gay sex but are all privately pickle poachers?
-GSD
December 2nd, 2007 at 2:22 pmBut “Democrat†and “hypocrite†are practically synonyms.
Zooey, not all, most.
Comment by USA_Patriot — December 2, 2007 @ 2:19 pm
That's funny, USAP, because the Dems I know are true patriots who are trying to preserve our Constitutional rights and freedoms, and renew this country's reputation in the world.
All of the Republicans I know say one thing and do another. All of them.
Did the definition of "integrity" change and no one told me?

No point in debating this this twit right now. He's hallucinating. Wait for the drugs to wear off first. Yes, he'll have a terrible hangover, but it'll be so much more fun to watch him flinch in pain everytime he has to speak.

That's a mighty wide stance for such a narrow mind. Are you looking for some stiff rebuttal?
December 2nd, 2007 at 2:30 pmUSA Patriot must have gotten drunk and forgot all the value voter, moral majority, anti-gay, Godless liberal crappola spewed by hypocrite drug addicted falafel wielding craniums.
December 2nd, 2007 at 2:31 pmWhat does it say about the emotional brittleness of the typical conservative female, that not one of these closeted scandals was brought forth by a mate? Their husbands must have so instilled a sense of utter failure and ruin within their psyches that these women cannot admit the truth, under any circumstances. The Big Daddy mentality writ large, or something more like Stockholm Syndrome?
December 2nd, 2007 at 2:31 pmAnd it would be strange and more than a little hypocritical if the same conservatives who railed against Clinton's proclivities (and Hillary's seeming indifference to them, for her own political reasons) don't say boo about Mrs. O'Closetedgayrepublican.
December 2nd, 2007 at 2:38 pmRemember that Larry Craig married a woman with children by another man after he claimed he wasn''t gay years ago. I imagine everytime he does her in the ass he fantasizes about some guy he did on the home from DC.
Sadly, Craig's homosexual behavior with his voting record are both examples of phucking your fellow man!
December 2nd, 2007 at 2:42 pmMy God Patriot!!! Republicans criticize Republicans all the time. Give me an example! Repubs have been basically quiet about wide stance Larry. The Dukestir was lauded as a great man, Not one word about Ney, Delay is still running around shooting his mouth off and no one has said a word about that phony. Funny the only people I hear the repubs complaining about are Jefferson and the Rep. from WV. ...or and I forgot...Bill Clinton is STILL responsible for every problem in the world. Why don't you go over to LGF, Redstate or Freepers where they would buy into your lies.
December 2nd, 2007 at 2:42 pmStrike the word “conservative†above. ThinkPropaganda doesn’t allow the del tag evidently.
Comment by USA_Patriot —
Ben Domenich's not allowed...
December 2nd, 2007 at 2:43 pmWell then, USAP, you made the mistake of assuming that every Liberal is a Democrat. Do you undferstand the distinction between a political philosophy and a political party? I am registered as an Unaffiliated voter. I am not a Democrat.
And Larry Craig really is gay, BTW. Just because he publicly denies it does not prove that he does not privately practice it.
December 2nd, 2007 at 2:44 pmOr is that who you are, USAP?
I now see a similarity in the way you both plagiarize.
December 2nd, 2007 at 2:45 pmAs I remember, 'ol Ben also would take out a word or two, and try to pass it off as his own stuff. Is that some sort of failing of the conservative mind?
That they cannot even plagiarize competently?

Comment by USA_Patriot
That's reasoned dissent. Why let a moron waste everyone's time?
Get the hint?
December 2nd, 2007 at 2:57 pmThis outcome was perfectly predictable. Is there any rational person who understands human behavior, naive enough to believe that the incident in the Minneapolis restroom as anything other than an attempt by Senator Craig to 'hook up' with a potential partner? Or, that this was the first and only time he had done so, or would do so in the future? Closeted, repressed individuals are driven to repeat such conduct, and take greater risks as time goes on as they seek to satisfy their hunger.
The problem here is not the conduct, per se—though the conduct in a public place where a reasonable expectation of privacy exists is, in fact, a violation of law—rather, it is the combination of a long term condemnation of ANY such contact promulgated to a degree approaching bigotry, the hypocrisy which therefore necessarily exists when a conflicted individual like Senator Craig simultaneously engages in—while condemning—the behavior, and the awkward denial which accompanies being 'caught.'
Get it, morally outraged, indignant, Clinton-blaming characters?
Seriously, the number of significant Republican operatives 'flaming out' as it were, instead of coming out, is astounding. And, the flimsy excuses: wide stance, in fear of my life and so on - simply unbelievable. Until this inconsistent, hypocritical behavior stops, Republicans can expect those they have labeled their 'political enemies' to continue to draw attention to these incidents, despite that fact that many, if not most, of those on the opposite end of the political spectrum believe that such behavior—between consenting adults, in private—should not be an issue.
Had Senator Craig not made his hateful, long-term condemnation of homosexuality a cornerstone of his political agenda, few would be paying any attention to this. Although I wish he had made other choices all along, I see this as a fitting end to political career which has brought continuing human and environmental costs to the Pacific Northwest, while lining the pockets of his corporate farming, mining and ranching partners.
At least I agree with this widely held Republican point of view regarding Senator Craig: his career cannot come to an end too soon!

December 2nd, 2007 at 3:03 pmThe only hypocrisy is coming from the left, who preach sexual privacy, but attack Craig.

Craig openly opposes homosexuality yet has sex with men at will. That's called hypocrisy, you mook.

There's a nice tutorial at the Stanford website. You should avail yourself of it.
December 2nd, 2007 at 3:07 pm"The only hypocrisy is coming from the left, who preach sexual privacy, but attack Craig."
Huh? Um, public conduct is not private conduct. See Minneapolis, et al.
"It is not hypocrisy to be tempted by some behavior but still think that behavior is wrong."
Your neurons must not be firing properly. It is hypocrisy, silly, to consistently and publicly condemn such behavior, while simultaneously engaging in it. Senator Craig has a long history of condemning such behavior, while wrestling not with temptation alone, but actually engaging in the behavior he condemns. See any dictionary not authored by a Republican operative.
Maybe Happy Bunny said it best when he uttered, "Whatever, Moron."
December 2nd, 2007 at 3:09 pmIf an alcoholic who knows it’s bad to drink occasionally falls off the wagon, that’s human weakness, not hypocrisy.

December 2nd, 2007 at 3:16 pmUm, okay - I cede the floor to you, and your inconsistent, weakly or completely unsupported claims. Good luck with your efforts to impact the thoughts of others.
Last time I looked, I was discussing the public behavior of Senator Craig, not the article in which what may be entirely private behavior is outlined.
And, again I defer to Happy Bunny, who said it best. You may have the last word…

A minor point. Apparently, the Cons have it reaching around, as opposed to coming around.
And, Larry has lost his right to a private sex life by pushing legislation to regulate the sex life of others

And that's the mentality that adores Rush Limbaugh as he rails against druggies, while knowing he was caught (not admitted, caught) using a controlled substance. It doesn't matter to them, because acknowledging it would call into question their whole system of values.

But there is nothing particularly bad about being gay, so your attempt to link a proven ill (alcoholism), with an unproven one falls flat.

After he declared drug addicts should be deported, thats hypocrisy
December 2nd, 2007 at 3:29 pmAnd just like Craig's using homosexuality for political gain, Limbaugh used druggies for political gain - and increased listeners - until he was caught using them himself illegally. Then, the whole "lock-'em-up" rhetoric vanished, and the "compassionate" Rush started talking about treatment. And his synchophantic dittoes never once criticied his sudden change. Hell, they internalized it.

His doctor shopping as well as him taking Oxy in Elvis numbers show he was a recreational user.
Also abuse of a controlled substance is the same under the eyes of the law no matter how you label it.

Now, I haven't heard him specifically say gay sex is wrong, so we shouldn't bash him for that, 'cause, like Craig, he could be gay. But defending Craig on an anonymous handle also would seem to indicate a closeted nature, so he's fair game for that. Perhaps he's defending Craig's hypocrisy by showing us what the real thing looks like?

Byt hey, yer a troll.
December 2nd, 2007 at 3:57 pmI didn't think I would be back to post again, but this just has to be shared: the real BOMBSHELL in the Idaho Statesman series is the allegation that then first-term Representative Craig was named as one of seven Congressmen who engaged in sexual contact with Congressional pages in the '1982 Congressional page scandal.'
Sexual contact with a CHILD? In the effective care of Congress? Oh, Senator: that's a HUGE problem for you and your Republican colleagues who managed to cover this up for so long.
Can I just repeat that? With a CHILD? Who had been entrusted to your care, and that of other Congressional representatives?
The identification by the page has been confirmed by the attorney and former Arkansas GOP official who represented this young man at the time, and subsequent to the contact which was alleged to have occurred.
Read the series. It will, of course, be denied. But the accounts are believable, and appear irrefutable. And, the series is devastating. It's likely time to put the Senator on suicide watch…

Most of the encounters alleged and described in the Idaho Statesman did, in fact, take place in public restrooms. (…yuck.)
So, self-identified USA Patriot, the 'public' rather than private label is indeed reasonably applied, at least to the encounters described therein.
Sorry. Maybe you ought to read the series before publicly staking out a position. Facts can surely be inconvenient. Better luck next time…

December 2nd, 2007 at 4:29 pmWhy would any sane person own up to boning larry craig? EWWWWGGGHHH!
December 2nd, 2007 at 4:33 pmMay I humbly suggest that the idiot troll who calls himself USA_Patriot is getting his jollies by the responses to his misinformed and dishonest posts?
If you want to give him what he deserves, totally ignore him. He has gotten far more real estate at this thread than his ignorant rants deserve.
Ignore him. He will go away. Everyone with any sense knows he is full of it; you don't have to say it. NOT RESPONDING speaks volumes. Do you argue with a lunatic shouting on a street corner? Treat the trolls the same way. They dry up pretty quickly when they can't bait in a thread.

Clearly, Li'l Pattie feels compelled to take a wide stance on such important issues, ML.

But a brisk round of Whack-A-Troll can be so entertaining.

Larry Craig IS NOT GAY!
HAS NEVER BEEN GAY!
EVER!
He just pleads guilty to soliciting anonymous sex from "other" men.
Now, this makes Larry a liar or a woman... NO?

December 2nd, 2007 at 4:57 pmS 1959 is ambiguously written, and I am on one of the “conspiracy theory†websites that they mentioned in the House subcommittee meeting.
So with all of that, I have to ask myself, “am I a terrorist�

Oh, you'll see plenty of evidence. There isn't a republican politician in office today that hasn't committed numerous crimes and lewd acts.

A little late to be demanding evidence, isn't it, Mobileweaponslabsboy? About 2 trillion bucks too late.
It seems a little petty to be asking for proof now, after you "swallowed" Bush's lies, don't you think?
December 2nd, 2007 at 10:10 pmJust for the record, as I have "dealt" with many a doctor shopper:
December 2nd, 2007 at 10:35 pmattaining above your prescribed allotment of controlled substance is illegal. Whether it is through forging a prescription, or having someone purchasing it, and then "giving it away". It is illegal. Nuff said.
But thank you for derailing this particular thread, USA Patriot (or Mr. P, or whatever you're posting as today).
Back on topic.
Senator Craig is not gay? Yet three men can testify that they were either engaged in sexual activity, or were proposed to be engaged.
Damn liberal media with their facts, anyways!
But hey, when in doubt, bring up Bill Clinton, 7 years removed from office.
Quit being partisan hacks and demand evidence.
Comment by DreamCrusher — December 2, 2007 @ 11:02 pm
how about a guilty plea from the guilty party? that's pretty good evidence.
talk about partisan hacks, you're the expert. Craig pled guilty. The case is closed, he has only managed to get himself into deeper trouble by lying, the usual republican gambit. always the losers.
December 2nd, 2007 at 11:29 pmI think when the trolls are out and about they are best ignored. It is their true function to suck life from otherwise energizing discourse and keep it circling downward. This keeps everyone else from really getting to the point of being able to build on a conversation and bring ideas into light. It's possible they are even being paid to do this. Cut them loose!

Acquire one, d*ckhead.
December 3rd, 2007 at 10:13 amAnd those are just the ones who are willing to come forward. Imagine how many more there are. Imagine how many of them are hypocrites, just like Craig, who live a life in public as straight, but in secret are gay. Imagine how many of them are politicians just like Craig.

Sort of like there's a world outside the confines of Redstate, or Freep, or Limbaugh.com? That's where the true lemming reside, afraid to confront the truth head on. They need their opinions dictated to them so they can say "ditto" and not engage their brain.
