You sure called this one correctly!

A republican finds out about this and immediately points at democrat behaviors and worries about the GOP holding power.

A conservative is glad he’s caught and wants him gone but hopes to replace him with a conservative.

Ha,good one.
I remember when I was ten or so my dad mentioned to his buddy across the street that he was”taking a ferry over to Oakland tomorrow”
His friend cracked,”Oh,is he cute?”
First gay joke I ever heard.
Then came high school with jokes like,”You hear about the gay electrician?”
I think you can imagine the punchline to that one!

By the way, why was he in a Minnesota airport?

If you fly from ID to the D.C. you almost have to fly Northwest Airlines, and the NWA main hub is Minneapolis. I doubt that you can fly from Boise to Washington without a plane change in either Minneapolis or Detroit.

The last time I flew from St. Louis to Tampa on NWA I had to change in Detroit, and I got the last seat on the last flight to Tampa for that day. A lot of folks wanting to get to Tampa that evening were left standing at the gate when I boarded. Air travel is almost to the point these days of being too much hassle to be worth it.

Aw , I heard he was born in a trunk in the Bijou Theatre in Pocatello.

How could he do something like this? Damn, all he had to do was offer to rent a hotel room, and no one would have been the wiser. But a restroom is a public place, which makes what he did a public act.

To each his own, of course, but that he would do something like this in a public setting shows that he doesn’t have the judgement or class to be a U.S. Senator.

He should resign.

“He should resign.”

Yes he should, and Gov. Otter should name Lt. Gov. Jim Risch to replace him.

[Billthedrill]

LOL! Yeah, Liza's bigtime as well. Cabaret still makes me squirm.

[PeaceBeWithYou]

A few points.

1) The filed charge was for interference with privacy and disorderly conduct.
2) Sgt. Dave Karsina is an airport cop in charge of cart enforcement. link
3)Just where else would you put your rolling luggage in a stall, and since the only logical place is against the door, if you're tall like Sen. Craig, you'd still be pretty cramped.

Liza Minelli is the ultimate fag hag.

[masadaman]

Explains Spector.

[Palladin]

You’re defending this Congressfaggot?

[Idaho Whacko]

I don’t care about too much other than the fact that this probably means that this rino is on the way out.

By the way, why was he in a Minnesota airport?

It has the most efficient connecting route from Washington, DC to Boise, ID. DCA-MSP-BOI is only 24 miles longer than DCA-BOI. Also, there is a perimeter rule for Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) of 1,250 miles which prohibits non-stop flights longer than that distance. Guess which former congressman dreamed up that distance. Notice how both DFW and IAH just happen to be within the perimeter? In order to fly through Denver or Salt Lake City, you first would have to go to Dulles Interntational (IAD) which is further from Capitol Hill.

I admit this all sounds creepy, but I guess I don’t understand this “signal” business. If I tap my shoe and then touch another’s foot, that means I’m trying to have sex with that person and can be arrested for lewd behavior?

[txhurl]

Jim Risch.

[Sunnyflorida]

“Yep, anything like this happens with Republicans, it’s big news. Democrats who are involved with anything like this, they are a victim. Like Jim McGreevey”

So what! We need to be of better moral standing, get treated unfairly, and still beat ‘em. Life is unfair. Get over it.

New thread: ‘http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1887464/posts'; . Craig quits as Senate Co-Chairman of Romney campaign.

[Enchante]

Craig has been outed before his constituents (and the nation) and now he’s been ousted from the Romney campaign:

Can’t imagine he’ll be running for re-election now, not unless he switches parties!

[Riverman94610]

Ha,Cabaret!This dude I used to hang out with at Sacramento State back in 1968 always used to sing that Life is a Cabaret song.He didn’t”come out”till a year later but just THAT should have let me know where he was coming from.
Really,though,he was a cool guy in many ways.The half Japanese son of an Irish sailor and Japanese prostitute adopted by an Anglo family as a child.He still recalled life in the house of ill fame and how the tricks would beat his butt occasionally.

[Enchante]

Wow, I was just 16 seconds after your post! I shouldn’t have typed so much.... :^)
