'Remember how President Clinton fornicated in the oval office? And he remained in office and now he's some kind of 'flaming hero'. Where's the moral justice?'
Oh My God! People are fornicating in the Whitehouse? I'm totally shocked! We don't elect Presidents so they can have s..e..x in the Whitehouse.
Oh...excuse me, I got the President confused with a Catholic priest.
Why are the police wasting time and resources trolling for gays? Don't they have anything better to do like shooting unarmed black people and busting teens for smoking a joint?
The greater probability is that ineluctably former Senator Craig is not Gay, but is in fact some variety of Straight recently found involved in societal-determined weird behaviors, and as so deemed are found sited somewhere along the yet unapproved spectrum of human sexual conduct. As well, this event, taken together with acts reported of similar nature, also make a mockery of the present simpleminded and unscientific assignment, mostly foisted on a credulous polity by our pandering politicians and those variously engaged in the God Business, of all sexual orientation to but two spheres: Straight or Gay. I say “probability” with respect to Craig’s true sexual nature because almost all studies on the subject of perverts and their perversions, such as child molestation, even if involving same-sex predators and innocents, have irrefutably demonstrated that the perpetrators are Straights and not remotely Gay, 99% of the time. So, in my opinion, it is questionable and baseless reasoning to leap to the immediate conclusion, as most of the media and the bloggers here too have done, that Craig is homosexual -- or more correctly expressed: a homosexualist. Those who know or have acknowledged here that they themselves are Gay will fully understand and agree, I believe, with my assertions. As to the assertions that the Hillbillery’s misbehaviors and certain felonies are mitigated by having has sex between “consenting adults,” recall, for one, that Dear Monica was an “intern” and barely “adult,” as well as the fact that stored in the Congressional Archives, under lock and key and guard, are the statements provided before confidential sessions of the House Committee, which eventually and appropriately voted to have the HillBillery impeached by the full House, by more than a dozen women who bravely came forward to tell of their rapes by that pervert. And where is the “outrage,” to quote Dole? That outcry was persistently tamped-down, with the tarnishing complicity and empathy of the so-called press, by the distaff side of the HillBillaries, who personally orchestrated the “Nuts and Sluts” campaign run out of the White House basement. And she has several sealed indictments out there for obstruction of justice, lying to a grand jury and tampering with evidence, who with the help of an embarrassingly fawning press, sought to ruin the reputations of each of these courageous women who dared tell the truth about the Rapist and Felon in Chief. Barney Frank’s -- he with the boyfriend running a prostitution ring out of this Senator’s apartment with his acquiescence -- sister was then a key staff member in the “Sluts and Nuts” campaign and the prior and succeeding cover-ups. One has to think the former, indicted and convicted Democrat governor of Louisiana had it right when he opined, “I will remain in office unless either a dead underage girl or a live boy is found in my bed.” Think of the ensuing titillation!
Larry Craig is not at fault for being a homosexual, but for being a hypocrite.
It's curious to note that if Larry Craig would have denied the allegation and not have initially admitted guilt, there would still be reason to consider him a hypocrite. Apparently, he is a hypocrite for admitting guilt while being outwardly anti-gay, and would also be a hypocrite for denying guilt and not being honest.
Who couldnt possibly pass such a test?
Public judgment here points the larger social hypocracy, which gets us to the flip side conundrum.
The cop is also a hypocrite.
If the cop was targeting the senator only because he was a senator, then the hypocracy of intent is clear. If he was actually trying to eradicate lude behavior, wasnt he engaging in the same?
The focus should not be on Larry Craig as much as how disfunctional our society has become. The focus should be on how the US is becoming the number one police state. At least, its finally biting back the asses that have created it.
I found this somewhat amusing. The article says the media pursues both parties equally? List all the scandals the media is covering hour after hour after hour for the last five years and how many of those involve Democrats?
The article also makes a great point. Republicans involved in scandals resign, Democrats involved in scandals get re-elected! Does anyone thing a Republic with thousands of dollars in FBI sting money in his freezer would be able to get re-elected?
What did this senator in the bathroom do that was so over the top, how different then lets say Barney Franks or Gary Studd, both of whom not only did not resign, but went on to get re-elected several times.
As to media bias lets look at the current scandal, Norman Hsu. It seems the media likes to show how Hillary and company donated the money to charity. Hillary returned $23,000. Do you think for a moment that this Hsu man only donated $23,000 to her campaign? If so then why is he such a major player? Do you really think someone who donates a $23,000 is going to be picked to host one of her fund raising events? Hsu was scheduled too!
And if you think a mail carrier from San Francisco had $250,000 to donate to the Democrats, I have a nice bridge to sell you! Normally the media would 'follow the money' trail. I think in this case they won't. They do not want to know where it leads!
To really understand the whole Larry Craig saga, you have to read the Idaho Statesman's five month investigation cited in this article 'Men's room arrest reopens questions about Sen. Larry Craig.' The Statesman interviewed Craig and his wife just one month prior to the arrest, playing for them a recording of a man who claimed to have had oral sex with Craig in the men's room of Union Station in D.C. Craig denied the claim, saying he's not gay and then appologized to his wife , who was close to tears. see: www.idahostatesman.com/larrycraig/story/143801.html
My God ,Friend, from always the man demonstrates a duality in his(its) behavior, it is the human essence, sometimes we forget that we are mammalian and irrational. Quastdog, this duality has not happened to you in your own(proper) life?
