I’m sure Mike Ro(d)gers (sp?) knows the answer.
I just saw him on H&C. I read about him during the Mark Foley Assassination. Now he is making appearances, and, of course, he has other targets. While they are at it though, they want Vitter and a Texas R with a DUI. The Republicans better come up with a better strategy than self-destruction by forcing resignations.
I agree. I followed Rogers during the Foley affair. Foley was wrong and did need to go, but Rogers is a total slime. He looked manickly ecstatic in his appearance on H&C. He has no right to do what he’s doing. But you are right. We have to find a better way of dealing with this.
I don’t know if you saw any of my other posts about my conservative Republican-elected assemblywoman, Teresa Sayward. She disregarded the wishes of those who elected her and begged to have the gay marriage amendment passed in NYS because her son is gay.
Also, I mentioned to a guy who writes for our local paper that there are those who call themselves free thinkers who want the age of consent lowered because they think pedophilia is just fine. They have even petitioned the ACLU to start proceedings regarding this. And as I said to him, civilization did not advance by normalizing the abnormal. The irony is that those free thinkers unfortunately have more historical and biological precedent to back up their logic than do homosexuals. And that is scary. If we allow the homosexuals to advance their agenda, will the pedophiles agenda also advance? I know it sounds bizarre, but 30 years ago, no one would have been able to predict where we are now.
As far as Larry Craig goes, I just feel that there is an awful lot that is suspect. I don’t appreciate kneejerk reactionism by anyone, but it bothers me a lot when it happens here.
Personally, I have not had any real problem knowing homosexuals. However, I disagree that children should be taught is is just another family lifestyle. It is often a risky and very dangerous life that only lasts 41 years, on average, for men.

Agree with you completely. My husband’s youngest brother lives the gay lifestyle in SF. I am not happy with it at all, but I love him dearly. We don’t talk politics.
This whole entrapment business is sick. It makes me sick. A man's life and career are destroyed. Was Craig a good public servant for his district? All that is down the drain because of this very sad case. I refuse to jump up and down on a whoopee cushion and condemn.
A couple of things I'd want to know before considering this question:
Was this restroom between the gates of his connecting flights? To assume that he had a full bladder is a straw man. The vast majority of travelers will take a restroom break during the layover of a long trip even if they don't have a pressing need at the moment so as to avoid using the airplane toilet later on.
Is this restroom less accessible to the general public than other restrooms; one that would tend to be used by famous people?
I would suspect that a restroom that doesn't have lots of general public traffic would be a choice meeting-up place for the sort of activity for which Craig was accused, but it would also be the sort of restroom that is used by politicians and other public figures for the usual purpose.
