Craig Reconsiders Resigning, After Specter Shows Support

Yees,
And Clinton never inhaled

This guy was innocent after pleading guilty,straight after being gay, and now staying after claiming he was leaving – and the Republicans hyped up Kerry for being a flip-flop.
The biggest bunch of hypocrites I’ve ever seen.

Why was he in a public restroom in the first place. As much as he travels he certainly must have access to the Northwest Airlines VIP Club. Isn’t the bathroom in the VIP club cleaner and he is less likely to be bothered there. HMMMM

FINALLY! TELL THEM WHERE TO GO LARRY!! You did nothing illegal while a democrat congressman had $90,000 in bribe money removed from his freezer by the FBI goes to work every day! William Jefferson sure isn’t resigning – in fact he’s considered a model for the democrat party. Asking or signaling for sex is not a crime…and if it were, every bar in the US would be closed tomorrow!

I just don’t understand why the man continues to say he is not gay. A man does not have to be “gay” to have sex with another man – he is probably bi-sexual but will NEVER EVER admit it to anyone including himself. So what if he wants to have sex with a guy? His problem – getting caught and being hypocritcal. So many politicans so badly want the religious to vote for them and will shamelessly use the “family values” and moral right to get it that it has to rebound on them at some point. As to the comment above about William Jefferson, he will be going to jail. He may be working now but obviously has not decided he wants a speedy trial.

He never should have plead guilty if he can’t take responsibility for his actions. What a pathetic loser. If he doesn’t step down, he will be impeached and kicked out.

Oh yes hope it so hope it so! I can’t wait till the other peapers and tap dancers come out! Oh and boy it is going to happen!

Sitting in the stall he thought of “Singing in the Rain” and began tapping his feet. Then the fanciful idea came to him that it might be raining in the next stall, so he put his hand under the partition palm up, to check. Of course, the whole idea of gay assignation is absurd. Was he even taking a plane that day by the way?

Hey cheesetopping – what are you raving about now? Pelosi and the Dem Congress delivered 100% on their first 100 days agenda. And her approval rating is much higher than 3%. Where do you get your ridiculous disinformation from? Stop watching Fox News and join the real world. You look ridiculous.

Good Lord. Didn’t this idiot already plead GUILTY?!? Why can’t Republicans take responsibility for their actions anymore? Pathetic.

I hope he does stay on – it will hurt the GOP even more in the ’08 election. Who knows, Craig’s stupidity may even hand the Dems a veto-proof majority. It’s kind of amazing how quickly the GOP and the Conservative movement collapsed under the weight of its own failure.

Larry, please come back! It’s your time to shine, boy – now, more than ever, you’re what the Republican party needs!!

Anje – I’m not worried about them. There’s always been a lunatic rightwing fringe in this country whose bark is much worse than it’s bite. Think of loonies like the John Birchers or the Goldwater Republicans. Bush was their last shot at real power and he blew it big time. These fools are a spent force in American politics and their high water mark is behind them. Don’t fear them. Just laugh at them. That’s all they deserve.

Thank goodness Craig is staying on. John Stewart (The Daily Show) has been on vacation this whole time. I can’t wait to tune in now that Craig is back just in time for the Comedy Central meat grinder.

Go for it Craig… I would LOVE to hear how you contorted yourself to actually get a foot next to the persons in the next stall… yeah, go for it…. this should be VERY entertaining, and also VERY revealing of the GOP when they start drumming up excuses for your LEWD behavior… you know what you were fishing for, and so do all you GOP who are so fast to defend him simply because he is GOP… you folks sicken me.

Here is a set of circumstances tailor-made for a Democratic sweep in 2008. Following up on the historic change of last November. The right, should it try to obscure the facts in this case and come to the defence of a truly insolent moron, well, it will get what it deserves. Relegation to the back benches. For a generation.

While Craig’s bathroom stall two-step may be quite talented, I think his current political waltz is about as clumsy as a walrus on goofballs.
For the rest of us, we can take home these lessons:
1) You can’t state that you’re guilty, then complain that you’re innocent. No one will believe you.
2) You can’t resign and then unresign. No one will vote for you (although Idaho is still conservative enough to vote for Atilla the Hun’s righter-wing cousin Oscar the Hun, and may yet forgive him provided he meets his quota of the typical tilting at windmills)
3) Claiming the press is biased against you doesn’t work if the public has to believe that Idaho newspapers are hiring cops to hang out in airport bathrooms waiting… waiting… waiting for you
4) “Jiminy!” is a great interjection.

“Larry. We, the people of Idaho know your a moral decent man.” Alice you are in serious denial. The guy lied, obfuscated and is a hypocrit. Let me explain the obfuscation: If he is not gay, he must be Bisexual. There is nothing wrong with being gay or bisexual. But being caught and then denying it is pure foolishness. If he had been honest with everyone, and himself, from the beginning, he never would be in this position. Power, and the pursuit of power, corrupts.

I hope ‘Wide Stance’ Craig stays and fights. With Gonzo Gonzalez back in Texas, who’s going to provide my daily dose of Republican incompetence, lies, scandal and hypocrisy?
Roll on, Larry ‘Still Not Gay’ Craig!

So, Arlen Specter is ALMOST defending his actions? Maybe Specter should rethink his position on Republicans soliciting Gay sex in Public Restrooms. Maybe Specter was in the next stall….
Does anyone actually believe Craig was set-up by a “crooked cop”? Maybe the next Republican convention can be held in a Public Restroom, save everyone that long, tedious walk. They are probably very tired from all the “handshaking”. Funny thing, when you point a finger at others, like the GOP, there are 3 more pointing back.

Republicans/Neo-Conservatives = Hypocrites
When you constantly preach the moral High Ground, you better live the life you preach or this is what happens. Boneheads

You go, Larry boy! I’m glad you’ve got the spunk to fight the Republican smear-whitewash-swiftboat machine. We cheer you and urge you to fight!!

to dilute this man’s lewed behavior, just because other people had lewd behavior is ridiculous. The man did a lewed act in a public men’s bathroom unbecoming to a senator of Idaho. Especially hypocritical because he voted against gays again and again. He was several time accused of gay behavior over the years and kept denying it. As a senator he is open for black mail because of his life style. He brought shame to his state by acting as a complete moron. If he goes back to Washington they will impeach him anyhow. Specter defending him doesn’t mean much , since Specter defended this unholy war for years. Cassey

What a vacilating worm. Craig is a typical Republican flip-flopper who lacks the courage of his convictions. So sad.

Face it dude…. you have homosexual urges and thats why you were staring at the officer in the next stall and playing footsie and then lying about trying to pick up a piece of paper that was nonexistent. Then you try to show the officer your Senate ID. You are just another arrogant Republican hypocrite. If a military person did what you did they would be bounced from the military and their life ruined under the policy that you promote. No straight man stares at another man in a public bathroom..no straight man tries to rub another guys legs in a public bathroom. I work for a police department and I hope this officer sues you for slander and defamation of character. If there is a problem with sex in public places officers are obligated to check it out or do stings. They weren’t in there to entrap you or anyone else. Take your wife and go get tested for HIV. From what I’ve read..you have a history of cruising for gay sex. Be a man, butch up and just admit what you did,resign and then find a suitable partner. I feel sorry for your wife. I have no sympathy for you.. to the people in Idaho..wake up..this is 2007 … and there are all kinds of people in this world- gay, straight, bi-sexual and those in denial — like your Senator Larry boy.

Victim of circumstance? You are not a victim if you created the circumstance. His whining children are probably on all the talk show circuits trying to bolster the reputation of dear old dad as he continues to try and snake himself out of the mess he got himself into.
I’m 56 years old and during my entire life, my hand has not gone under the stall of a person sitting in the stall next to me. What’s the circumstance here? That Craig’s hand was simply lying there when the wall separating the stalls moved of its own accord thus placing his hand underneath? Give me a break.
It has been mentioned before that this is not a gay issue. His kids can defend him on that ad nauseam. But they will commit a fallacy by asserting that what he did is to be equated with being gay. It is to be equated with unlawful, perverse, behavior. Wake up kids.

Most of us have been in toilet stalls. How does one peep at someone in the next stall, policeman or otherwise, without either a drill or a periscope? Just curious – don’t really want to know – “I am not gay.”

Ah, Tim, you forgot “smart after being dumb.” Public restroom? The good senator may have thought it was a re-publican restroom. :) Or a pvblic restroom or a pvbic room or something; did they fly high enough to serve likker? Oops Mormons don’t drink – sorry.

Well i’d just like to say WOW! Talk about some nerve. I always thought gay people were neat freaks…why would u go into a airport bathroom for sex solicitation. Thank goodness it was only the senator from Idaho…who needs Idaho anyway…not like they do anything anyways besides growing potatoes.

Well, that clears that up. I seldom peer IN the crack when going to the stall next door, but very often peer OUT the crack after going to roost. Does that make me anti-gay? I wonder.

the gop better not ever allow this liar to return or the grand ole party will collapse.

Apparently Senator Larry Craig is considering reversing his guilty plea and fighting charges that he was trying to pick up men the restrooms for gay sex. But Larry’s story just doesn’t add up. For example, I’m 51 years old and been using the Men’s room for a long time. Never in my life did my foot ever come close to touching the foot of the guy in the next stall. That just doesn’t naturally happen. Then if Larry has a “wide stance” – if I had my legs so far apart that my foot was touching the guy in the next stall, I wouldn’t be able to get my pants down. As Judge Judy would say, “If is doesn’t make sense, it isn’t true.”

Senator Craig should have some decency and resign. He looks like an idiot resigning and then looking into
staying. The preponderence of guilt is overwhelming and Mr. Craig has had homosexual allegations since the 1980′s. What he did was very disgusting in the fact that he wanted to do his gay loving in a public place, a men’s restroom of all places. He is disgusting and has no class.

Hmmm .. Marc, I just tried that out and it looks like you are right. Of course these are Wranglers. Maybe loose fitting stretchy things would be different. I don’t know. Perhaps Hizhonor would like a recess and go check. It doesn’t look real good from here though.

I remember Japan and the Phillipines 37 year ago. Only one restroom. The ladies used the urinals somewhat like the guys. Wouldn’t work here – nope wouldn’t work here. Looking like we need three or four here.

The good folks of Pa. should feel EMBARRSSED that their Senator (Arlen Specter – R)would support such a sicko.
You all need to get him out of office!

Larry Craig never resigned. He said he intended to resign at the end of the month. But circumstances on the ground could change this. We should let his legal team decide whether he should stay, not some Senate committee.

O.K., so his first thought was picking up a piece of toilet paper from the floor?
This second thought ranks right up there with the first thought.

Does this man Craig have NO brains? A senator who has admitted guilt in an under-cover operation, caught by a cop,
taped by said detective-what chance does he think he has? A conservative caught trying to pick up a gay guy, and on many occasions has run gay lifestyle into the ground, will someone please tell him to quit? He just continues to make himself more guilty, and less liked.

Stand up Craig and tell ‘cut and run’ McCain where to go! If it were up to him, democrats would rule anyway since he’d demand the resignations of everyone who J-walked in DC! No thought or consideration – everyone just resign! You did nothing wrong!

Can someone please look into what flight he got off, what flight he was transferring to, and where in relation all of that the bathroom was? If he had to go out of his way to go to an “infamous” restroom I guess that would answer all the questions wouldn’t it?

(set to cops theme song) WHAT YOU GONNA DO WHEN YOU TAP YOUR SHOE, BAD BOY BAD BOY!
now come on, this joker has slammed gays for years, acts like a fine upstanding family man, judges others and condemns them yet he is in a filty mens room at an airport lookin? This cretin is disgusting, not for being gay but for being such a hypocrit! You would think however that being so high pollutin and upstanding that he could have found a better way to be with guys! the republican party is corrupt from the top down and when he flashed a senate business card at the cop declaring “what do you think of this”.. wow, i think you are a gay guy lookin for sleaze mr. senator sir! someone pin a medal on this cop as he was not going to be intimidated by this yo yo! we need new leadership and we cannot afford to wait any longer! i beg of you conservatives… do not vote for what we already have had to endure and lets kick these sleazballs out and elect some truly decent people who are not above the law in they’re minds (bush/cheney and clan)
