His wife, friends, and church, should do an intervention and get him help.
In private.
I can’t help but think about his wife, kids and grandchildren whenever this story comes up.
What a delusional piece of crap this guy is.
The argument that ‘he has sex with men but he’s not gay’ involves too much prison logic for me to comprehend.
Homosexuality is not a state of defined being. Rather on the best science man has gathered we understand it to be a series of emotions, feelings, desires, choices, and most importantly behavior.
Conservatives do have standards, expectations, and accountability.

Not try to make it quietly go away with a un-counseled plea-bargain and not informing lawyers, friends and family to assist you in fighting this 'setup'.
the likelihood is that when he says he is not gay he means it in the same way that bill clinton did when he said he did not have sex with monica lewinsky. Clinton was not counting a little head. Likely Craig isn’t either.
Somehow someone in congress needs to regularly tell republicans that they are not predators when they chase boys or girls or what have you.
Republican Congressmen looking for sex outside marriage are prey animals. They need to be told that they will be hunted down. They need to be told this regularly.
Look at Craig. He’s an old man. He doesn’t have any juice in him. All he’s got dried up sin.
Why do we care? The dems have said we should be proud if we are homosexual.
Larry Craig needs to resign. TODAY!
How in hell does that happen?
Most of the fools in Congress couldn’t get or keep an honest man’s job.
A Republic can not survive being led by career politicians....especially those in the pattern of Kennedy, Clinton, Durbin, Schumer, Levin, McCain, Kerry, etc. etc....
He needs to resign now lest he has a Foley effect on the election in ‘08. The libs noticed how effective a tool Foley’s outing was to keep Republican voters home.
I thought it was weird when Craig called the incident a “failure”. But then, the whole press conference was weird.
There’s a lot about this story that just doesn’t make a lot of sense.
Who would’ve thought that airport restrooms are a big meeting place for gays? Seems improbable... I mean of all places, bathrooms are odd enough but airport restrooms are really busy places at all hours. How could anybody think they could do anything in there without being observed? It’s baffling, but obviously was a big enough problem for the police to set up an undercover operation to stop it.
But then I get to the police actions here. The “signals” the cop relayed seem pretty subtle to me. Not that it isn’t true and maybe the senator really was soliciting the cop... but all those “signals” are pretty close to things that could have completely innocuous explanations. Standing outside a door peeping and standing outside a door waiting for one to come open might be difficult to distinguish from inside the stall. And foot-tapping or reaching down below the stall might also happen for reasons that are more innocent.
Again... sure they appear now to be signals that are used by gays to hook up, but it would also be awfully easy to misinterpret and arrest somebody who was innocent.
Then: they’re going to go to court with with collection of odd signals even though there’s no overtly sexual activity or even any clear verbal communication taking place? It sure doesn’t seem like much. And then even more inexplicably they’re pleading these things down to a minor and non sex related charge. What good does that do? Isn’t the whole point of these “sting” operations to embarrass the perps and generate publicity about the operation so others will be discouraged from going there?
But to run it as a relatively minor “disturbing the peace” type thing, when that story runs in the paper it kinda takes the sting out of the sting doesn’t it?
Craig said he what he is not - gay.
He didn’t deny being bi-sexual? Hmmmmm. :>)
I retrospect I think it would have been better for him if he had not opened his remarks with “I want to thank you all for coming out today...”

Queer is bad enough, trolling around in public restrooms adds another layer of filth. How far would someone like this go, if they thought they could get away with it?
He obviously isn’t concerned with God seeing what he does.
If getting caught is the greatest restraint on your behavior, you can’t be trusted with anything.
It’s like the Diceman said, “There is no in-between, you either suck [....] or you don’t.”
