It says on Wikipedia that his kids are all adopted, they are all his wifes kids.

Hope the kids are OK.

In October 2006, Craig’s office publicly denied allegations that he was a homosexual made on a gay activist Web site

Do you think after the "gay activists" drum out all of the gays out of the House and Senate, that they will complain that there aren't enough gays in the House and the Senate?

[Delphinium]

The GOP really needs to start cleaning house and getting rid of all these closet gays masquerading as true-blue conservatives

Absolutely. And Larry Craig needs to resign now! It makes me mad that he has probably been doing this perversion all along.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

One doesn't find "love" or "affection" in a toilet with strangers taking a crap.

But they might find the meat puppy they seek. Flesh over spirituality.

[Natchez Hawk]

You are right sir, I stand corrected.

[Humal]

“I notice that the political party Craig belongs to is identified in the fourth word of the story.”

That was the first thing I thought of/noticed too. Even on Fox News this afternoon, they mentioned the party within a minute or so. Whole lot different if it were a Dim.

[WOSG]

“Stories like these make me wonder if Alex Jones is not as crazy as one would think.”

Um (gives it a second thought) .... No, he’s still crazy.

Man,Billy Squier?.I thought his tastes might run toward,oh,Queen or something.

[WOSG]

“I think maybe he should stick to the fly-fishing,”

“Sounds like what he was doing!”

LOL. I heard that he liked to handle a rod, maybe I just misunderstood something. :-)

[Palladin]

Craig’s career is in the toilet.

[Rastus]

Billy Squier did do a song or two with Queen. That video is painful to watch, but the song is great.

[WOSG]

“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.”

A Demcorat is glad he’s caught and wants to find the next indiscreet chump GOP public official to tear down.

And a liberal gay activist wants to get his cell number.

[Myrddin]

Sen. Larry Craig (R-Idaho): “The closed primary would be the worst thing for the Idaho GOP”

That figures. No sense in letting registered Republicans choose their own candidates. The Democrats choose their own and skew the vote on the Republican choice to favor a weak Republican opponent.

Enjoying a colortini tonight ? ;-)

Thanks for the Tom Snyder reference! RIP, Tom!

[Mr. Silverback]

If he really was trying to engage in perverted gay behavior in a crowded public restroom in an airport, then he is too stupid to ever have been elected U.S. Senator from one of the most conservative states in the nation.

Perversion destroys your ability to reason just as surely as drugs do...but that doesn't mean he did it, and I don't see them getting a jury conviction on this evidence.

[anymouse]

Maybe Sen. Craig was having an Austin Powers moment (Video clip) in the next stall. :)

Austin Powers: Who does Number Two work for? Who does Number Two work for?

Cowboy: Yeah, that's it! You show that turd who's boss.

[El Gato]

Is this a U.S. Senator?

Oh yea. He's also on the board of directors of the NRA. That makes it much worse. We sort of expect such behavior of Congress Critters.

[BurbankKarl]

He obviously hasnt heard cops are cracking down nationwide this summer in airport restroom stalls

ZIP IT OR TICKET!

[WOSG]

” ... but that doesn’t mean he did it, and I don’t see them getting a jury conviction on this evidence.”

I’m with you on that. The idea that a person can get charged with a crime for tapping their feet and hanging around a bathroom too long is absurd.

[BurbankKarl]

I guess Brokeback Mountain is farther west than I thought!
