I can't tell you what I'd like to do with Clinton's finger he pointed at me on national t.v.
His talking appendage sure stands by her "man"/sarcasm.
Too much criticism on the police man doing his job. he should be held in high regard for removing this creep of a “Senator” from the ranks of the PERVERTED.
Have these people no SHAME, I guess not.
Of course, your patch, your pegleg, and your three-cornered hat contributed to the screener’s suspicions.
Good thing you left your flintlock pistols at home.

I have read nothing that suggests Larry Craig made any verbal proposition to the cop.
When cops run prostitution stings, a verbal commitment, instigated by the ‘john’ is needed to arrest.
I don’t understand exactly what law Craig broke?
What if his foot had touched a woman’s foot while seated in the waiting area? Would have that constituted a proposition?
Don’t get me wrong. I’ve observed several instances of public restrooms being used as meeting places for gays and it disgusts me, but this incident has me wondering what our ‘thought police’ society is coming to.
One other thing. How does one consummate a union in a restroom stall with any privacy? ( that’s rhetorical, no answers needed)
I listened to the tape and frankly, I don’t see what Craig did wrong. The cop’s story is suspect (saw left hand which was on the other side), he freaked out, played up the politician card (”people vote for you”) and arrested this guy based on a) their feet touching in a stall, and b) Craig putting his hand under the stall (which is suspect - Craig has a defense [picked up tissue paper] + the cop’s story is shaddy [left hand on right side of stall?]). This thing reaks. I understand, though I don’t know it, that this Craig has a history of being accused of being gay, but this incident doesn’t pass the smell test. I’m not convinced Craig was stupid enough to try and have homosexual relations in a public bathroom in an airport. I think he’d do that sort of thing in a more private setting. I’m not convinced at all based on this tape.

I wondered what it would take to garner a defense of homo pervs soliciting sex in men’s rooms. Should have know it would be a Republican getting busted.
Yeah, interesting. The airports are good testing grounds to see how the masses can be controlled and how we can’t accidentally move our feet. I don’t know about this airport, but the stalls sure seem to be getting smaller and smaller at most airports. At my height, I can barely fit in a regular one with one small, carry-on. Heaven forbid I drop something or my “big” feet cross over...
I noticed that, too....and I’m little...can’t imagine how a bigger person fits in them too well.
Wonder if, in the future Animal Farm in which we will live, if those who cannot fit into “normal” sized seats, stalls, doorways, etc., if that’ll be grounds for removal to the camps. /sarc
If the place is empty, I sometimes have to use the handicapped or diaper changing stall. Seriously between my back pain and my height, I can’t squeeze into a regular one. Plus after being crammed into a tiny airplane seat for hours, I’m almost crippled. I’ve only done that once or twice, but I’m sure “they’ll” arrest me one of these days, lol.
The only thing is - I’m height-weight proportionate. With the world getting fatter, do you think they’ll have room in the farm for all of them? Isn’t something like half the country considered obese now?
He has a point. As usual. Though I don’t share his casual attitude towards immorality/hypocrisy.
allegedly....I wonder what’ll happen to them. They will likely have to wear some kind of probationary “star” and the citizens will call a tip number if these people are seen eating at places where there are unhealthy foods for overweight people...like McD’s. They’re eating their “unfair share”...and have “no right” to be the weight they choose....blah blah blah.
egads...can you imagine that kind of society???
Yes--exactly the kind of mindset possessed by the environmental wackos.
No doubt. If you leave your bag outside the stall either HLS will take out to a field and blow it up or some sleazeball will steal it.
silly me...I forgot!
Absolutely. And, you can’t ask anyone at the airports to watch your bags....that may mean you’re going to blow up something...rather than the fact that lugging clumsy carry-ons into a small stall....etc.
Glad you made this comment. I have had very much the same thoughts.
I believe that right at the beginning of this story there was something from Craig indicating that he frequented this restroom. I could be mistaken, but I interpreted this as an unnecessary concession referencing his typical travel pattern between Washington and Idaho.
I tried to be generous -- in my own mind -- thinking that a man like Craig is on the go a lot and can not live as close to his personal pot as I do. Still, it troubled me. I don't think of myself as especially regular, but it is extraordinarily rare that I visit a public restroom for anything requiring that I pull down my trousers. One of the perks of maleness.
Does frequenting a stall in a restroom with a reputation make you a pervert? Maybe not...but it ain't exactly a character reference either.
I've no doubt Sen. Craig went to that bathroom looking for sex. Listen to the tape of his encounter with Sgt. Karsnia and then imagine, as National Review's Jonah Goldberg suggested, how the conversation would go if Sens. McCain or Webb had been in that stall and were accused of brushing shoes with the flatfoot. Not being privy to the codes of the privy, it would take 'em 15 minutes even to figure out what Sarge was accusing 'em of and, when it became clear, the conversation would erupt in a blizzard of asterisks and, shortly thereafter, fists.
You got me. There’s no check-in lockers any longer at the airports (for obvious reasons); you’re not allowed to ask someone you don’t know to watch your baggage; the stalls don’t have shelving which would allow for storing of the back near you...it’s certainly not feasible to place it on your lap...there’s no toilet tanks....
If you place it to the side, there’s also the possibility that someone could steal it....
