“I wonder if this is a current stakeout practice or just something that he ate?”

ROTFL!

What, exactly, did he do that was illegal?


for at least two minutes of peering through the crack in the door. I guess everyone does that. Tapping foot in next stall, reaching into the space of the adjoining stall.
I guess that’s normal, HUH? It would also be interesting to find out if that restroom was the most convenient to where his flights were. I’ll bet the restroom was not.
I’d say his behavior certainly appeared that he was cruising for sex. They probably arrested him too soon so he may beat the rap but that doesn’t excuse his behavior, especially as a U.S. Senator.

I was shocked to find out that Billy Squier was hetero. Hard to believe after watching him writhe around in that pink tank top in that video, which effectively killed his career.

Excellent points. The bag by the door thing is just completely bogus!

A case of "Guilty men run when no one pursueth."

What needs to happen here is very simple.
Craig must resign from the Senate immediately.
Then Governor Otter should appoint Lt. Gov. Jim Risch to finish Craig’s term.

That will end the story and the humiliation to Craig and minimize the damage to the GOP. It will also give Risch a huge advantage going into the election and take the issue of Craig’s personal conduct off the table for the Democrats.

If Craig doesn’t step down, then that proves he doesn’t care what serious harm his behavior brings to the Republican party, and therefore it is up to the GOP to protect themselves and force him out without delay.

...Maybe he'll appoint me. It'd be tough to live up to, say, the intellectual brilliance of a Patty Murray or the high-minded incorruptibility of a Harry Reid ...

Don't be so modest!

"Senator Billthedrill" sounds like a suitable voice for the Great State of Idaho, given its mining tradition. ;^)

Barney Frank admits he is gay. THAT is the difference.

Craig's not gay, he just has a wide stance....

THIS right here is what ticks me off more than anything! They all know who the perverts are. They all know the potential for this coming back to haunt us. They do nothing.

I don't like it either but what exactly should they do? Craig was vehemently denying the rumors. In Idaho, the two congressional seats are generally Senators-in-waiting. Does the party destroy the career of one of its own based on rumors which haven't been substantiated to a reasonable degree for most people?

I guess I'm part of the problem too. I didn't repeat the rumor until just recently. Would I support a closeted homosexual if I agreed with his politics? Yes but he would lose my support immediately if he began actively promoting a gay agenda.

I should be open to more variety musically.Someone once said nostalgia is analogous to a dog eating his own vomit.
I did hear this new singer named Amy Winehouse I want to check out again.
Yet,like Bob Seger said,”todays music ain’t got the same soul”.

Wouldn't be more logically for a U.S.Senator to be using the privileges of the airports VIP restrooms, instead of public toilets???

Many on this site have wondered why GOP Congresspersons are so ineffective and wimpy. They don’t possess the spirit in the belly to fight the DemocRATS. I think this Craig thing is the tip of the iceberg. The GOP should be purged of these sex perverts. Your sexual mental state indeed does influence all the decisions you make. The GOP needs to return to the Lord’s tenents of the law not comply with the perversions rampant in Washington DC.

“Tap your foot and see what happens.”

I will never again even make the indication of possibly tapping my foot anywhere near a bathroom of any kind.

What, should candidates ask every supporter if they like to have sex with men in bathrooms before getting their support? Give me a break!

I'm suggesting that Craig should have alerted Romney to the fact when he was busted.

"U.S. Senator Larry Craig (Payette) - Senator Larry Craig is a Co-Senate Liaison on the Romney for President campaign."

Not just a "supporter" or "endorser" was he? What do you think the clinton/media propaganda machine would make of this if it happened to Romney as a nominee? Remember what happened with Mark Foley? The media used that to tar the whole Republican party.

Add the gaffes Romney has made like this one: ""One of the ways my sons are showing support for our nation is helping me get elected because they think I'd be a great president."

If you think these wouldn't be used against him in the general election, I have some waterfront property to sell you in Arizona.
