Love the way the Statesman's management made their reporter troll Union Stations restrooms. Love to see him questioned about his experience and the reaction he got when he approached strange men in the restroom.

This is hilarious!Anyone who think’s Craig’s a total wuss sure hasn’t met Dan Popkey!

A huge herd of students went into journalism after “All the President’s Men.” Now we’re seeing the second or third generation after that big boom. And, man, are they complete morons.

One happy day we’ll arrive at a place where the fact of someone’s sexual orientation isn’t viewed as a private bit of information. It’s a personal characteristic like eye color or skin color – an uncontrollable fact that is nothing to be ashamed of.

Yeah, because cheating on your wife with men in a public bathroom is something NO ONE should EVER be ashamed of. /s

This sounds like the dead hand of Larry Flynt was involved here somewhere. By now, the Hustler publisher has a collection of dossiers on Republican officeholders and appointees that makes the collection of FBI files purloined by the perpetual campaign of Herself, the Cold and Joyless, look like the bratty tattletale we all remember from the fourth grade.

There is a reason that none of the rocks the Democratican slimers are hiding under are turned over, or if they are, as rarely happens, plenty of cover is provided for them to scamper back under. This is just part of the landscape the Republicans are forced to inhabit when facing Democraticans.

More and more, being a Republican is not just an alternative to being a Democrat. It is a much higher calling, as being a US Marine is a far more demanding life choice than being, say, a street hustler.

Any old street person may walk in and sign up to be a Democrat, apparently. What the heck, it may be possible to collect a little pocket change and get a free ride all over town on Election Day, boarding a bus to one precinct, showing a passel of papers to the election clerk (good idea to memorize the name you are using when showing these papers), going to the voting booth, marking down some selections from a preselected list, then boarding the bus for the next precinct, and repeating the process all day long, each time using the new set of papers, and marking the ballot according to the list for that precinct.

A little further up the food chain, if you have a fixed address, and are making a modest salary somewhere, you may get instructions to accept an envelope of cash, and go to the local precinct office of the Democratican party (or Green, or Workers' Alliance, or whatever other front group is out there), and deliver the envelope to the clerk. This is probably in the sum of $2,300, a most magical figure, as this is the maximum allowable contribution that may be made by one individual for any one candidate for political office. Time things out right, and a distribution of similar cash contributions may be made to a number of different candidates. Of course, when the total of all the "cash contributions" made by this individual of modest means, comes to about three times the annual income claimed on the most recent income tax return, that may raise some questions.

If anybody ever gets around to asking.

Hilarious!

Craig, a Senator who most people outside of Idaho probably wouldn’t recognize if he crawled up between their legs from under a restroom stall divider, probably kept a low profile precisely because he preferred NOT to be recognized during his frequent, anonymous homo frolics in public restrooms.

And guess what? In all likelihood most of Craig’s partners over the decades were just like Craig - - perverted, well-to-do air travellers who enjoyed anonymous homo sex in public restrooms. Who did this reporter figure would ADMIT to a sick encounter with Craig in a restroom even in the one-in-a-million chance that the he actually stumbled onto somebody who maybe recognized the photo? Sheesh.

All you can do is shake your head....
