    So are you suggesting that the lone problem in this situation is sexuality? Maybe we need a law to outlaw gay, right? Or a regulation that prohibits elected officials from being sexuals, too?

    Barney Frank is a gay man -- that alone doesn't make him guilty of anything(other than perhaps being different than xray, I guess). I'm really not sure, therefore, that I get the reference to Barney Frank in this thread. He didn't solicit sex in a public restroom and he hasn't ever intimated that he's anything other than what he holds himself out to be.
    No I am just pointing out the hypocrisy of the
    dimm-o-craps. Those on this board seemed obsessed with
    the Craig and the fact he was arrested in a men's room
    at the airport.

    The dimm-o-craps supposedly embrace the sexuals,
    but only if they are dimm-o-craps I suppose. Much
    like the fact they loved to be referred to as the rainbow
    party but put down an hispanics and blacks if they are
    Republicans.

    And you refer to Barney as being nothing but different
    from me. Guess the little slip he made when his
    roomy was running a male pros ution ring out of his
    apartment some years back. Barney of course knew
    nothing about it.......yeah, sure.

    I could care less if a person practice sexuality.
    Just so long as they don't want me to accept it as a
    normal way of life. Because it damn sure isn't. It is
    a sexual practice that they are trying to legitimize,
    which they have done a pretty good job of. Of course
    now they say they just want their civil rights. Guess
    sex is a civil right issue. , I could care less if those
    that practice their way of life and marry those horses
    that kill them occasionally. Except the marriage shouldn't
    be legal.

    So FWD if you are trying to shame me into the PC
    crap you have failed.

    I personally find it strange that a man of Craig's
    position would try some kind of crap in the men's
    room at an airport at high-noon. I would think he
    had more smarts than that. But he claims he plead
    out to the misdemeanor and thought that would be
    then end of it, which again doesn't make sense.
    But people who support such a corrupt party as
    the dimm-o-craps haven't got any business making
    fun of an individual that supposedly committed an
    sexual offense since their party embraces them
    so long as they support their party.

    Oh, I am sure we'd all have the same laugh if a Democrat were arrested soliciting gay-head in an airport bathroom.

    Until then, get the joke and laugh with it. Cuz the is funny.

    He got George Michael-ed. In an airport. Moron....

    GOP politicians do not have a monopoly on hypocrisy, despite the best efforts of the left wing cluster in this forum.

    As for "values", hardly a political issue in the US these days is not cast in moralistic tones, with those in disagreement painted as degenerates, heathens, idiots, or whatever (ie abortion, global warming, nationalized health insurance, gay marriage, etc...).

    It's not surprising that a majority of eligible US voters decline to exercise their right to vote in most federal elections.

    Oh, I don't think they were trying to make that point at
    all.

    Hey DR, I have been meaning to ask you, what is the
    name of the Parkway that goes into Canada from Detriot?

    I have driven it several times, long, long ago and it was
    called the Blue Water or something like that.

    The Blue Water Bridge up near Port Huron, MI.

    There is also the Windsor Tunnel, in Detroit.

    The Windsor Tunnel actually is the beginning of Canada's most traveled Highway, the 401. Spans from Michigan to Montreal. Beyond Montreal, its known as I-40.

    Oh yes, I do. Dont get me wrong, I think they were definately finding the irony in that it was a member of the self proclaimed "family values" party that was doing this, but that is the humor in a small part.

    Bottom line, some gay Senator got caught soliciting gay-head in a bathroom. I found it hilarious when George Michael was caught doing the same thing and find it just as, if not more so, when a Senator gets caught doing it.

    Him being Republican is just a punch-line.

    Everybody agrees the guy is going down (so to speak); not sure who's downplaying it.

    Note to self: next time you're having trouble dropping a load in a public restroom, don't tap your foot anxiously.

    Also, if you find out you're out of TP when it's too late, request help instead of reaching into the stall next to you.

    From the Boise paper:

    Sen. Larry Craig has spent 27 years in Congress — with rumors about his sexual orientation following him almost from the outset. Now, after the report of Craig's arrest at a Minnesota airport restroom, Idaho's senior senator must speak candidly with the people who have hired him for more than a quarter of a century. He owes this to voters — no matter how difficult that may be for him and for his family. And voters owe Craig a chance to explain himself....

    This bizarre case now moves into the court of public opinion, where Craig has a lot of explaining to do:

    • If Craig's actions in the restroom were misconstrued and he was not involved in any inappropriate conduct, as he said in a statement Monday, then why did he plead guilty?

    Craig says, in hindsight, he should not have pleaded guilty and "should have had the advice of counsel in resolving this matter." On the surface, it seems implausible that any educated professional — much less an elected official — would face criminal proceedings without hiring an attorney.

    • Did Craig try to use his le to make the case go away? According to the police report, Craig handed the plainclothes officer a U.S. Senate business card during an interview with police, and asked the officer, "What do you think about that?"

    This suggests an inexcusable abuse of power. Craig was elected to represent Idaho's interests in the Senate — not to use the le of U.S. senator in his own self-interest during a police interrogation.

    • Why did Craig not come forward after the June 11 arrest? Did he honestly think this would never become public? For Craig to keep this from his cons uents, for 11 weeks, is not merely bad public relations. It's an unacceptable breach of trust.

    • Craig has said he is not gay — repeating this assertion, categorically, in a May interview with the Statesman. Does he maintain that today, or has he been lying, blatantly and repeatedly, to his cons uents? Elected officials have a right to privacy, but also an obligation to tell the truth about who they are.

    Yes, we have pointed questions, as many Idahoans surely do. But there's a difference between asking hard questions and making snap judgments. We ask Idahoans to await the answers before passing judgment.

    Pretty reasonable.

    Not that expect any congressman to read Spurstalk, but for future reference, this isn't the 1950's; showing off your congressional I.D. is less likely to come across as and appeal to authority, and more likely to to confirm you to be the bag the cops suspects you to be.

    So the Idaho GOP gets a chance to replace an aging senator preoccupied with anonymous bathroom penile procurement for a younger senator with no such predilications who would be likely to rack up 3 or so consecutive terms.

    Well, he can opt for the 'I was just tapping my feet and trying to get some extra TP (not BJ) from the guy in the neighboring stall (I guess I am the only man ever to run out of BJ, er, I mean TP in a public restroom) when all of a sudden I was arrested. I pled guilty to get it over with, you know, like a speeding ticket, yeah.' line and then try to hang on to the remaining 16 months of his term before retiring to his own private Idaho.

    My guess is he resigns and the governor appoints a younger Republican to fill out Craig's term and give that replacement a leg up (so to speak) on the '08 race.

    In case you missed it, a CBS station in SaC-town recreated the Craig bathroom incident...
