Not much Craig can deny after you see this presentation. No wonder why he plead guilty and my pal at Capt. Quarters wants him out of the GOP. It’s for the sake of a sinking party…Craig wouldn’t have to go to sexually active men’s rooms if it wasn’t for the homophobia that lives and breaths in the GOP.

that’s some high quality reporting right there. i smell an emmy…
He’s on cspan now denying everything he plead guilty to, and playing the victim in an Oscar-worthy performance! :D
I’m not sure what’s more disturbing…the reenactment, the homophobia, the hypocrisy…
ha ha the anchor man is wearing sandals! at least now i know that they are wearing pants.
Another Repiglican scumbag… one of those self-righteous church-going closet perverts like the rest of ‘em. He’ll probably claim that he was abused as a child or some such horse-shit.
I have never heard of that foot tapping thing. I may have absent mindedly tapped my foot in a bathroom stall once or twice. I haven’t ever played footsie with anyone though. This doesn’t seem like enough to prosecute. Where is the solicitation? Where is the indecent exposure? This sounds like entrapment. However, I think it’s funny that a repug senator doesn’t know his rights. It serves him right for being a fascist hypocrite who never read or upheld the Constitution a day in his life.
But here’s the really stunning news: GOP TO MOVE INTERNAL DEBATES FROM CLOAKROOM TO BATHROOM
What’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 the resignation of disgraced Idaho Republican Senator Larry Craig.
For the details, see:

And then he’ll go to jeebus camp for a month and declare himself cured/forgiven.
From what Craig said he didn’t tell his wife and family about the arrest until just recently. If my husband had been arrested on the same charges he was, he would come home tell me that he had been accused of something that he didn’t do. He wouldn’t hide it from me.
Sorry Mr Craig, I’m not convinced that your story is true.
Angry One @ 8:
In the twisted right wing world…it’s ok to cheat on your wife with another woman…but not with another man…its ok to have sex with minors…as long as its a female and not a man…
Homosexuality is a sin against god…so…no forgiveness.
Very easy to understand.
I guess being caught w/a live boy IS worse than being caught w/a dead girl.
To quote the hypocrite just now: “I am not gay, I am not gay, I am not gay, I am not gay” Joe Scarborough just said that when he was in congress 9-10 years ago he was told by a staffer that the rumor was that Craig was gay so the rumors are not a year old as Craig indicated in his presser. They have been around a long time.
Whom ever that lead anchor was did a pretty good job of pointing out that Sen. Craig cotinually sponsors anti-gay legislation. Good for him…it’s the hypocrisy, stupid!
Craig’s resignation and fall from grace is a foregone conclusion. Whether his departure will add any credibility or sense of morality to the GOP is also a foregone conclusion - it won’t. The GOP is already sunk; it’s all about the cryin’ now.
Liberal AND Proud @ 12:
One minor amendment: Homosexuality is a sin against god - if you get caught…so…no forgiveness
Brian @ 15:
The level of overt hypocrisy within the Republican Party is astounding, isn’t it? I believe this party is imploding before our very eyes. And, it couldn’t happen a moment too soon. This country has been tanked by this fraudulent administration and does not have another year to spare with this gang of fools at it’s helm.
I know most people plead guilty when they know they aren’t guilty. LOL
Absolutely astounding, but not unexpected from “family values” republicans. The hypocisry. He probably was being honest about not being gay, however. He’s bisexual. And as a gay man, I can assure you many people would be amazed how many married men are actually bisexual, speaking from experience.
This should be fun in the coming months.
How many closeted gays does a republican party make?
Yellow Elephant Safari @ 17:
The right’s hiding behind a faux mantle of spirituality is OVER! The mantle has been ripped from their heads exposing their overt hypocrisy. Craig is just the tip of this disgusting GOP (Grand Old Perverts) iceberg.
soothsayer @ 2:
Did he thank the Academy, his producer, his director, his mother, his make up artist, the best boy, the key grip, his pet dog, the intern fetching coffee…?
Jenny’O @ 4:
I know! I’ve always wondered if they just showed up to work in their underwear, since we never see anything below the waist.
He didn’t say he was going to resign. He did say that he would announce his decision next month as to if he would run again.
Roket @ 20:
I would venture to guess that a good percentage of GOPerverts will be outed in the coming months. Like rats deserting a sinking ship, they’re all scurrying fast to hide from the truth. Denny Hastert will yet have his day in court - he may think he’s running but he cannot hide from the recent Foley scandal and his years of enabling the behavior. Like many of his cohorts, he will see time behind bars, too.
GOP: Gay Old Party
Blue Buddha @ 22:
I’m guessing only the best boy :)
Since Jeffy Lube is outing his new book and himself, perhaps congress can now subpoena those visitor logs and investigage what he was doing, with whom, and how long during his nocturnal visits to the white house when no official press business was being conducted???
(wink wink)
Blue Buddha @ 22:
I’m sure he thanked the “best boy” personally.
Next, these guys should do the (R) Bob Allen skit.
On Craig’s Denial:
Too bad these idiots don’t just come out of the damn closet, then they wouldn’t have to sneak around in public bathrooms to find sex. They could just meet in Bar or wherever and then go home with someone to a nice apartment or house.
Their hypocrisy does this to them. They are hateful to what they are. And is it me, or are most of them Republicans?
Barney Franks is at least out of the closet and open, and everyone still loves the guy.
Yellow Elephant Safari @ 27:
Why on earth would anyone who has a shred of sanity plead guilty is he was not guilty in the first place? He was caught “red handed” and had no alternative BUT to plead guilty. Now he’s trying to wiggle out of it - not so fast! Let’s look back at his 1982 scandal, shall we?
Let’s say you are arrested on the same charges that he was. Do you plead guilty to try to get it to go away? Remember you’re a US senator and pleading guilty to a charge like this may make it hide, but it won’t go away. His reasoning makes no sense.
That was a bad news piece.
The police report says it was Craig who moved his foot over, not the cop as they demonstrated. Also, the Senator did not plead guilty to soliciting sex as that reporter said. It was disorderly content or something.
I have a strong suspicion the Senator is a gay hypocrite, but the facts are enough. No need to get the facts wrong when the police report is right over on TPM.
pissed off patricia @ 33:
Sure it makes sense. Think about it. He pleads guilty…what happens.
He goes to jail. A jail filled with men. Horny men. The government buys his clothes and food…and he gets all the sex he wants. Better than bein a politician…at least he doesn’t have to sneak around anymore.
Veritas, are you winking at me? :)
baby jesus wonders if the policeman gets extra pay for hazardous duty
Oh, this is just stupid.
Does anybody remember the clown that got into the mock-up of Saddam’s spider hole? I thought that was lame, but this is a strong contender.
“Journalism”.
[rolls eyes]
Hey, he was out of toilet paper in his stall and was just asking for a spare sheet, ala Elaine on Seinfeld. He stuck his unit in the glory hole just to show his neighbor that he truly needed ‘something’ to catch the ‘drip’.
Gort @ 39:
or someone..
He seemed so pompous during that speech. He tried to blame it on some newspaper or something saying they were dogging him so much that that’s why he plead guilty. Lame, Larry.
Gort @ 39:
Gort - Klatu Verata Niktu …. translation (Gort, AI’m out of TP over here.)
Stick a fork in Craig. He is done.
What’s up with the f@cking sandals and slacks? Bad shit, that.
Jesus, did you catch Mitt Romney’s response to his old friend Craig. “I think it reminds us of Mark Foley and Bill Clinton…people who are elected to public office continue to disappoint, and they somehow think that if they vote the right way on issues of significance or they can speak a good game, that we’ll just forgive and forget…And frankly, it’s disgusting.” I don’t know what’s worse, Romney turning on his friend so quickly or him bringing up Bill Clinton and trying to equate him to Foley. What a douche! This needs statement needs to be sent out into the blogosphere pronto!
baby jesus did hear that
pissed off patricia @ 41:
Maybe he had the newspaper in the stall and ran across a pic of Rudy in drag. Erm, I’d better stop. It’s too close to dinner time.
Redleg @ 44:
I agree, you deserve to get hit-on in a stall wearing that get-up.
The Truth Hurts @ 43:
I don’t think he was looking for a fork.
