Sen Craig takes it up the ass!

The BBQ Pit

[QUOTE=sachertorte]
I agree that he probably entered the guilty plea in hops of keeping the situation quiet, but I’m also curious as to whether he’s trying to avoid having to state under oath that:

  1. he’s not a homosexual
  2. he’s never engaged in homosexual conduct
  3. he’s never solicited sex in a public bathroom in the past

I don’t really think he’ll fight the plea. It will only keep the story in the paper and in front of his constituents. Better to let it die now and call it a smear job and untrue during the election.

… he should have been issued … a list of state approved cruising locations (Mall of America, that bar on Hennepin…)

Would the title of that be “Craig’s List”?

For some reason this story reminds me of an old SNL skit from the '70s: We several pairs of feet behind/below the doors of a public restroom. One foot starts tapping, then another, then they’re all tapping in unison and singing, “On the boardwalk, down by the seeeeaaaaa . . .”

You can be in Virginia unless friend Bricker can attest that things have changed in the last few years.

Or my favorite sketch from “Not Necessarily the News.” A guy walks into a restroom and passes several stalls with two feet per stall. Then he sees one with three feet kind of bunched together. They start to tap and the theme from “My Three Sons” starts to play.

That was the 80s, but I remember that, too (They were interrupted by Tim Kazurinsky rapping “The Message” whie strightening his tie and checking his hair).

If you’ve never had an invitation like this, I can see how it’s hard to believe (it was hard for me to believe at the time). They do happen, though. I think Craig should say that he feeling intimidated by all the Minnesotans in the restrrom at the time, and couldn’t tjhink of anythign else to do.

Come on, people! We are the state of Religious Republican hypocrites. Idaho and Florida are for Republican Congressmen hypocrites. Minnesota and D.C. are Republican public-toilet cruisers. Is it that hard to keep straight? :wink:

For most of these guys, apparently so.

That would be a fun question to ask at a press conference. "Sir, why were you looking into another man’s stall for two minutes? Why was your hand far enough into his stall that the officer could see your gold ring? Why was your foot in his stall? If this was just a misunderstanding, then I’d like to know what was the purpose of the acts.

That’s one hell of a stance. I’d hate to see him play golf.

:smiley:

Perhaps he had one foot protruding way out under the wall on both sides, and perhaps he had one hand grabbing the wall from underneath on both sides. I can see where this might give someone plenty of leverage to force a good BM.

[QUOTE=BJMoose]
There is one question: given how many legislators are lawyers, is Craig a lawyer? If so, his whine about “lack of counsel” rings hollow. In any case, appearing pro se was his choice. (What’s that old line? It runs something like, “Anyone who defends himself in court has an idiot for a lawyer and a fool for a client”.)
[/QUOTE]

Well, hell, I’ll answer my own damned question. No lawyer, he. He’s a rancher.
Spare us the sheep jokes, OK?

A closeted gay Republican? I find that hard to believe.
[/QUOTE]

I know! This is just more confirmation of my theory, which I posted in the thread pitting Florida Representative Bob Allen, a known homophobe, for cruising for gays:

[QUOTE=Sophistry and Illusion]
Is it just me, or is the badness of a public figure’s record on gay issues in direct proportion to how much cock they have sucked?
[/QUOTE]

Because, of course, Craig is not just a Senator, he is an asshole anti-gay senator:

[QUOTE=CNN]
In recent years, Craig’s voting record has earned him top ratings from social conservative groups such as the American Family Association, Concerned Women for America and the Family Research Council.

He has supported a federal constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage, telling his colleagues that it was “important for us to stand up now and protect traditional marriage, which is under attack by a few unelected judges and litigious activists.”

In 1996, Craig also voted in favor of the Defense of Marriage Act, which denies federal recognition to same-sex marriages and prevents states from being forced to recognize the marriages of gay and lesbian couples legally performed in other states.

Craig also has opposed expanding the federal hate crimes law to cover offenses motivated by anti-gay bias and, in 1996, voted against a bill that would have outlawed employment discrimination based on sexual orientation, which failed by a single vote in the Senate.

let’s review:
Gay: OK
Republican: OK
Gay Republican: OK
Republican who consistently votes in ways manifesting anti-gay bigotry: asshole
Gay Republican who consistently votes in ways manifesting anti-gay bigotry: asshole and hypocrite who should burn in Hell forever

I know you didn’t mean it to sound this way but I’d just like to balance the record here by pointing out: Being an opponent of child molestation is not the same thing as gay bashing.
[/QUOTE]

No, but being an opponent of child molestation who also has a thing for young Senate pages (teens, not prepubescent, but still technicially child molesation in some states) and actively exercises that “thing” is pretty much EXACTLY the same sort of hypocrisy as being gay and voting against every last pro-gay initiative you can, and gay-bashing while you’re at it.

What is it? Are these guys completely amoral? Is there some profound self-hate that drives them to be Republican social conservatives seeking to give and/or receive blowjobs from others in public restrooms? WTF is going on in their minds, if anything?

I wonder if Jeff Bagwell has this problem in public bathrooms. He has a “wide stance”, too.

But, of course, now I think Idaho might see a contest for an empty seat instead.
[/QUOTE]

Not true. Idaho’s governor will select Craig’s replacement if he resigns.

Idaho’s governor has a 92% rating from the Christian Coalition. And true to that, he divorced his wife and married a beauty pageant contestant 25 years his junior. In other words, the seat is safe for family value Republicans.

Pardon me, but if he’s anti-gay wouldn’t that also make him *anti-*asshole? :stuck_out_tongue:
