I used to see this sort of thing as a seminary student at Princeton Theological Seminary in the late 80s. Visiting ministers would soon learn who the handful of openly gay men on campus were, and often I would get a knock on my door (once it was a Baptist from Austin in his bath towel), figuring I was up for sex (to which I always said no). Their arrogance and presumptiveness was beyond belief. And after being in a long term relationship for 11 years now, much longer than most marriages last, I'm certain that my life has been lived far more honestly and morally than most of these losers running around either in the churches or in the political offices. I believe that morality and ethics begin with honesty and truthfulness. All I can conclude is that idiots like these base their lives on nothing but self-deception and dishonesty, delusions and lies. Are these the kind of people who should be making laws and trying to lead a free society?

It must be rough to be homosexual theses days....the cons reject your actions and the dems are twice as unforgiving....

I didn't realize how much liberal hate homosexuals¦.

I don't care if Craig likes men, women, or critters. Its the holier-than-thou mendacity of the whole right wing crew that gets to me. Sure the late Democratic senator Gary Studds got censured for his conduct (that was a quarter century ago now?) but at least he never claimed he was going to be liften into heaven on the wings of the lord for his moral purity when the rapture arrives.

I rarely pray for anything, but for this I'm investing in the Holy Spirit....(from talon.com)

WASHINGTON: Karl Rove, long-time advisor to President Bush, announced his resignation today amidst rumors that a new book by a male homosexual prostitute would finger Rove as secretly gay. Jim Gannon, former reporter for Talon News and rent boy, is publishing a "tell all" book in September tentatively titled "Behind Enemy Lines". Karl Rove apparently fears being exposed as a former customer of Gannon's or his military porn websites like www.hotmilitarystud.com. It has long been rumored that Jim Gannon gained White House briefing room credentials and day passes by offering his services to Karl Rove, including several overnight stays in the White House Buchanan bedroom.

Plus there is also a bit of an Internet buzz about "Fredo" (Alberto Gonzales) being another Gannon customer. All this with Senator Larry Craig of Idaho having plead guilty to "disorderly conduct" for apparently soliciting sex in a Minneapolis airport rest room. He's another gay-bashing Rethug....

I know next to nothing about Senator Craig,or,for that matter most Washington politicians.

I have limited but broader knowledge of the personal life of the more prominant politicos both in power and no longer on the scene.

I am more concerned with their policies and actions concerning National and foreign affairs.

Life has taught me,we all have areas in our private lives where we have feet of clay.In the case of politicians,especialy prominant and powerful ones,exposure of their indiscretions can have far reaching consequences.

The public seems to be far less disaproving of indiscretions that are "Heterosexualy normal"in nature than the various other indiscretions,some of which can be pretty bizaar!

So I guess the old attitude that when it comes to human behavior,nothing surprises me,still has validity!

There are some pretty seedy episodes in the lives of may prominant figures of recent and past history,their political pursasionshaving little to do with it!

Some members of the FDR Cabinet have some pretty sinister "sex skelatens"in the closet.

On the other side of the political spectrum we have figures of the Right like Sen McCarthy,his assistand and buddy Roy Kohn,and good old queeny JEdgar Hoover.

Senator Craig's plans for reelection are being reconsidered. Expect a 'retirement' statement soon.

Sure seems like there's a lot of closeted republican politicians getting caught soliciting sex.

Maybe there really is something to all the stories emerging about Washington DC's "elite" pedophile sex parties...

Pedophiles

Why do our republican politicians keep getting caught "trying" to suck so much dick?

If Senator Craig knows how to "ask" a complete stranger for sex in a public place by touching feet under stall wall, then reaching his hand under the stall wall...seems he's done this sort of thing before.

Looks like the story has legs for another day on the media. Interesting. I thought it would go to page 3.

Can you imagine how sad and pathetic this man's life is? He has spent his entire life living a lie. He has known he was homosexual since his adolescence and yet has pretended to be something he isn't. By age 40 when he was implicated in the 80's era Congresional sex/drugs/ and page scandal he hurriedly entered into a lavender marriage with a widow with two children. Craig is still trying to live the lie now.

Well, Craig join that ever-growing list of Democrats disguised as Republicans. At least that's what the yokels are saying in Bush World.

Talking points for the Craig Defense Team:

¢ Haven't you ever dropped a contact lens in a public restroom?

¢ Haven't you ever bent over in a public restroom to check that the toilet mints weren't past their use-by date?

¢ Haven't you ever reached down to pick up a discarded square of toilet paper when no one else can spare a square?

Remember, Craig would never have gone NEAR a restroom had heeded the advice of a colleague and worn a diaper.

gang of perverts

FOX NOISE ALERT! Senator Larry Craig announces he will perform in a drag benefit in Boise...His stage name will be Gloria Hole..

Sigh...

Democrats and Republicans really need to look HARD at who they are support nowadays. Do these people REALLY represent YOUR values?

Craig actually pulled out his "card" and told the officer "what do you think of that"? If I was the officer, I would have tken the card, thrown it into a urinal and peed all over it.
