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:
he’s not a homosexual
he’s never engaged in homosexual conduct
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.
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 . . .”
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?
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.
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:
Because, of course, Craig is not just a Senator, he is an asshole anti-gay senator:
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
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?
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.
