"I Am Not Gay, I Never Have Been Gay"

Sen. Larry Craig said that he "overreacted and made a poor decision" in pleading guilty to disorderly conduct after his June arrest following an incident in a Minneapolis airport bathroom.

In his first public statement on the arrest, the Idaho Republican said he did nothing 'inappropriate' and also said, "I am not gay."

His friends are the only ones who really care if he's gay. Ain't that sad? The people he chose to hang with are the same people who will hang him. It's not even funny. There is political advantage to be taken here, but it's not of the opposition's doing. He chose a route of intolerance and hate, and now ... whether he be guilty of whatever "crimes" and "sins" he is accused of ... his compatriots on the right will hang him out to dry. From a certain vantage, it's very sad, indeed. From a different vantage, it's hard not to laugh.

[SoBeachDD]

really?
only hate i see is from libdems here
wheres craigs hate?

[JackSlappyNotYourPappy]

Really ... point out some hate?

And dont get them confused with the facts now ...

[SmootyBooty]

Troll...

[Ladyrantsalot]

Um, in his voting record?

[Tabasco]

Jesus Christ, SoBeach. What side of the rock does your brain grow on?

You pretend that it's 'liberals' that hate gays....or anyone else. Let me fill you in on something, Mr. 'Where's Craig's Hate' boy.

Liberals DON'T have a PROBLEM with alternative lifestyles. They have a problem with pontificating crusaders who mention Jesus dozens of times a day while acting out moments of that alternative life they claim to be above.

Liberals DON'T have a problem with someone's FAITH or their personal choices. They have a problem with the denial of those choices in the mask of 'Christian' (or for that matter 'Muslim') values.

Personally, I also have a problem with morons. Do yourself a favor and spend more time surfing internet porn or watching the Home Shopping Network. You'll make yourself more useful.

SoBeachDimwitDummy: In English, please.

He made a mistake when he pled guilty.

Like that doctor Bush wanted to run women's health programs who anally raped his wife actually made a mistake and "missed."

Repubs are pathetic.

[SmootyBooty]

OMG I had forgotten that story...

[hope]

How funny was that?

He was a Gynecologist, no less.

I suspect another graduate of Pat Robertson University.
:)

[MichiganJFrog]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHahahahahahaha!

An OB/GYN from Regent?!?

He wouldn't know his wife's... well, I can't think of anything. Sorry folks.

[SmootyBooty]

There are no heterosexuals in foxholes...

[SmootyBooty]

Ooops, meant to say prison. Hmmm.

Must be living "under the shadow of a nucular holocaust."

[RubberDuck]

Nor in public toilets apparently.

[MichiganJFrog]

Not that are looking for anonymous sex anyway.

[liamwalsh]

I have to admit that from time to time I listen to Sean Hannity and the "Great One, Mark Levin. It's kind of going by a disaster site you don't want to look but can't help it.. I only can say if Larry Craig had D-Iowa next to his name instead of R-Iowa they would be having a field day with it. I wonder if everyday they call into Mr. Bush Or his keeper Dick Cheney and get their marching orders as to what sping to put on the latest republican fuck up.

[tcuoohjohn]

I only can say if Larry Craig had D-Iowa next to his name instead of R-Iowa they would be having a field day with it>

Craig is from Idaho, you moron.

“Censure is a limp noodle across the wrist of the president, and excusemaking for the president's immoral behavior. ... I think the way we vote on the Articles of Impeachment will express the way we feel stronger than any censure vote.” -Larry Craig quote regarding Bill Clinton

[gotalife]

Karma.

But the biggest karma will be Bill back in the White House.

[kay]

So, it WAS a vote on immorality.

Conservatives said it was about The Rule Of Law.

The frauds. Our moral betters. What would we do without their hijacking the political process to pontificate on their own inherent superiority?

[InternationalObserver]

No No No! The Senator is NOT gay. If he says "I'm not Gay!" then we must take him at his word because he is, afterall, a SENATOR!

The Senator probably thought the toilet was one of those Uni-sex ones we saw on Allie McBeal, and probably thought he was soliciting HETEROSEXUAL sex with a female. Nothing wrong with that (aside from being married, but maybe someone slipped some Viagra into his drink and he couldn't help himself) so ...

I see no reason for him to resign, and no reason for him not to run again under the Republican banner. And if his wife is still standing by him then he's also got every right to wave the 'Family Values' flag.

[JoJoGunner]

Who was the comedienne who said Lorena just threw it out the car window, she didn't put it in a blender?

[gotalife]

The gop will force the pervert to resign for their ignorant base of haters.

Wearing diapers with a prostitute is no big deal for their base but being a pervert in a mens room is a fatal mistake for his career.

Out of the filth, comes a great comeback from a real Senator Tim Johnson.

Now there is a man your kids can look up to.

[SoBeachDD]

how nice!
huffie libs allupset over gay bathroom sex??

[SoBeachDD]

[sgs23]

Sure its private, that is unless you're doing it in a public restroom...duh!

[SoBeachDD]

youd have to talk to ccr aboutthat

oops,cept hes been banned
wonder how that happend??

[Eoin45]

It's the hypocrisy SoBeachDimwitDummy. How may times do we have to say it before it sinks in? Gawd you people are stupid.

[arbroath]

This is one of those "hot-button" issues that completely rob the nation of sensible political dialogue. What seems to be important to Americans is whatever the fuck others do what might be out of the "norm", and all those really profound and important things we might be able to do about that. But maybe we can do something else, maybe start a new new movement. We can help diminish gotcha politics. Let us not be as base as them. Dear Obama: come out and just say--should this really matter in politics anymore? Then go enlightened, and at the next campaign stop do the scene from In-and-Out and make everyone in the audience get up and say "I am gay". I mean, how old is this movie, anyway? The nation can have laugh, then we can all move the hell on and grow. Then dispose of the Republican trash for what they are. I mean, you see these Republicans on television and they seem--a lot of them--like nice, reasoned people. They are souless actors hired by central casting by and for men of greed. All Rebublicans are cynical opportunists that want to see government--and by extension, the governed--destroyed--for personal greed, and by any means necessary. Outing one of their own--if they had the imagination, and maybe they should not be underestimated--could only be a backhanded tactic. Of course they're hypocrytes! That is no surprise to their supporters! Hypocracy is their stock and trade because they think they are attacking the inheirent hypocracy of government. Fighting fire with fire. The moral to the story is: Forget this shit. Please focus. Level K Street.

[Thurber]

Craig is NOT GAY, he is sure of it. His PeePee on the hand (yes the one requiring the "wide stance" in the stall) is not so sure...

What's Haggart doing now, can't he like bible thump the gay out of you? Although that most be painfull taking that many blows to the family jewels ... maybe not so much if you're high on methamphetamine of cocaine first.

[hjo4]

Senator Craig was coached by Ted Haggard on how to deny that truth about him being a closeted cock lover.Senator Craig "thou protest too much" about you not being a pole smoker.

[starwheel]

Jesus H. Christ.

The stock market is plunging, millions of people are losing their homes and possibly what little they have in their 401ks and all I am seeing EVERYWHERE is irrelevant crap about ANOTHER anti-gay gay Republican who's only crime apparently was playing footsie with an undercover cop in the stall next door???????

We're so fucking anal and pathetic in this country it's just intolerable anymore.

[SmootyBooty]

You are an idiot. No one cares about Craig's predilictions. We're mad that such incompetent liars have been tools and lackeys to hide their behavior. If they hadn't spent so much time crusading to wipe out "Homos" that police officer wouldn't have been in the bathroom to catch him.
Hoisted on their own petard, indeed.

[Rod Gozinya]

You may be on to something.
The reason all Republicans are homosexuals is because Jesus was?

This bears investigation and sheds a new interpretation on the meaning of communion.

"eat me", indeed.

[Eoin45]

StarWheel: Once again dummy, it's the hypocrisy! The Repugs have been telling us for years they're the moral ones, so it's great fun and a relief from the travails you mentioned, when yet another one gets caught.
Speaking of pathetic, it's 'whose' not 'who's' and the 'anymore' at the end is wrong too. Got literacy?

[ContraEgoiste]

After proclaiming "I Am Not Gay, I Never Have Been Gay", Sen. Larry Craig then proceeded to tap it out for the smartly dress audience in the back.

[joedirtfromaz]

This man should be removed from office. He
shows he is incapable of making intelligent
decisions. Pleading guilty when he's innocent.
Where's the logic?
