Statement of Senator Craig:
BOISE, ID - Idaho Senator Larry Craig made the following statement in response to the Roll Call story this afternoon:
"At the time of this incident, I complained to the police that they were misconstruing my actions. I was not involved in any inappropriate conduct.
"I should have had the advice of counsel in resolving this matter. In hindsight, I should not have pled guilty. I was trying to handle this matter myself quickly and expeditiously."
Graham and ..?
He was just campaiging for Giuliani...
Oh, I agree completely. I'm not defending Craig's actions, I'm trying to parse his statement. You could do everything Craig is accused of (and I am guessing probably did) and still make that statement truthfully.
I would love to know what makes a guy do this. He had power, influence, a nice (by all accounts) family, a great income, a huge number of friends, and he's getting some sort of jollies hooking up with a stranger in a public restroom. Just saying "Oh, he's gay" doesn't explain it at all. Is the squalor part of the thrill? I simply haven't a clue.

I about choked. I thought you wrote “CRAIG SHOULD CHANGE PANTIES” I need to go see a shrink. LOL
I was in the bar over the weekend watching the baseball game. The guy next to me move and bumped his elbow into my elbow. He apologized for bumping me. I never looked up and just said, “no problem.” There was no reason to remember this two weeks later or to enter a guilty plea. To now say there there was no inappropriate intent is stupid.
This wasn’t his first time.
rotflmao. The thread has a weenier or winner (sp?). “Somebody” blew it, or it was well...., not going back there.
Since your self-confessed under duress misdemeanor was considered to be a "crime" involving domestic violence, does that mean that under the outrageous Lautenberg Act you won't be able to legally possess a firearm for the rest of your life? If so, that unconstitutional denial of a right to keep an effective weapon could turn out to be a death sentence depending on what kind of area you live in and/or travel through.
If God forbid I am ever convicted on a domestic violence charge I can guarantee you that it will be a totally unjustified verdict. But even so, if it ever happens I will have to risk the consequences and continue to keep a gun handy anyway. I won't let an unconstitutional law keep me living in fear of my family's lives being lost to some lowlife scumbag's predation even if it means me serving time for breaking an unconstitutional law.
He was outed by a gay advocacy website but denied it in the past. Blackmail is a crime. Let’s see them prosecuted for it.
No different than accosting someone on the street.
Republicans would like to behave like democrats, but are kept in check by the conservatives amongst them. You won’t find me singing the praises of the Republican Party, but as long as we have a two party system (a long time, I hope), you’ve got to choose. I, for one, will never vote for a Democrat as long as I shall live.
“It was a Republican. Wanted to get rid of him quick under the noise of the Gonzales affair.”
Like the ending of the Godfather... We need to settle all family business at once.
Yep, that and the fact that his foot somehow made its way into the other guy’s stall. I mean, yeah, you might want to give the guy the benefit of the doubt, but that one’s where I gits a little skeptical...
Larry now supports The Fudge Packers Union of America.
The whole pomp and circumstance of the Senate might be attractive to homosexuals. Isn’t that why so many go into the priesthood?
That can't be stressed enough. Being gay doesn't mean you have to have sex in public parks or public rest rooms. That's just disgusting.
tapping your foot in your own stall?
