In an interview on May 14, Craig told the Idaho Statesman he'd never engaged in sex with a man or solicited sex with a man. The Craig interview was the culmination of a Statesman investigation that began after a blogger accused Craig of homosexual sex in October. Over five months, the Statesman examined rumors about Craig dating to his college days and his 1982 pre-emptive denial that he had sex with underage congressional pages.

The most serious finding by the Statesman was the report by a professional man with close ties to Republican officials. The 40-year-old man reported having oral sex with Craig at Washington's Union Station, probably in 2004. The Statesman also spoke with a man who said Craig made a sexual advance toward him at the University of Idaho in 1967 and a man who said Craig "cruised" him for sex in 1994 at the REI store in Boise. The Statesman also explored dozens of allegations that proved untrue, unclear or unverifiable.

Senator Larry Craig will create a new atmosphere for homosexuals in Idaho. Here is my latest letter to Senator Craig:

Dear Senator Craig,
A great many hypocrites are screaming hysterically for your scalp, demanding you resign! Don't be deterred by members of your own party who sanctimoniously decry your recent scandal yet have committed all kinds of sinful acts no one is aware of.

Take Jesse Helms: for years he advocated wide distribution of toxic tobacco, a horribly addictive drug causing cancer, heart attacks, respiratory diseases, prostate cancer and costing Medicare 50 billion dollars a year in medical payments.

Did Jesse Helms care about American citizens' health? Hell no! He cared about his North Carolina tobacco growers' pocket books.

Hang in there! You'd be amazed at the number of gays to be found in Idaho! Now they can come out of the closet and vote you back into office. Do change your position on gay marriage. You are a handsome fellow and many gays would be willing to tap toes with you on a permanent basis (I kinda doubt Mrs. Craig is going to hang around too much longer.).

This entire Cultural Warrior" thing has always amazed me. Bill O'Reily, for example, and Rush Limbaugh both strike me as purveyors of this kind of misunderstanding about human sexuality. Rove has got to be a flamer.

Masters himself was strange. Americans are hung up on binary thinking - Bush exploits this to the max - "You are either with us or against us." McCarthyism is so American. Did Eisenhower stop Senator Joe? No way!

The Cultural Warriors are all worried about their own masculinity and homosexual urges. Puritanical America still has "witch hunts" but is being exposed for the closeted, pseudo -Christian, nazi, capitalist, intolerant, violent hypocritical Republican stronghold that it has become.

I was around when Senator Joe did his thing with Roy Cohn and Richard Nixon. Please - give me a break. Bush the cheerleader -or queer-leader?

Craig isn't gay ,he simply has sex with men.
That kind of statement always makes me laugh in wonder.
I wish people would relax about the sex thing. It is the most ordinary thing in the world.
All the killing going on and people are still so upset about sex that people like craig end up twisted.
Whatever consenting adults do is no big deal .
I am more concerned with the butchering of the Constitution and American Freedom by the republicans with help from some democrats.

"The sex thing"??
It's not "the most ordinary thing in the world"
to suck off strangers in public places.

I don't want sexual deviants in my government.
Gay, straight or otherwise.

Simple.

The Greeks did it; the Romans did it; the American Cultural Warriors do it.

Will Rep. Bob Allen also call on Sen. Craig to "go"?

Once again, Craig was not arrested for being gay. He was arrested for questionable public behavior, and plead guilty to that. He was not in place frequented by gay men for sex. He was in a place frequented by MARRIED men for GAY sexual encounters. The issue as to whether he is gay or not is purely a Republican sticking point, since that is abhorrtnt to their party. It seems the only people that approve of them these days are racists and holyrollers.

Craig is a bad boy! He's a naughty, bad boy! As a matter of fact, he's a nasty, naughty, bad boy!! Now, where did I hear that? Oh, yeah, Craig said that about Clinton. People who live in glass houses....

So now we have to deal with another MSM.
Lets not get confused MSM should be 'main stream media' and MWHSWM should be 'men who have sex with men', it's a long acronym but it would be less confusing I think.

October 9, 2006 --

On October 2, WMR was the first media outlet to report on the involvement of Arizona Republican Rep. Jim Kolbe, the only openly gay GOP congressmen, in the Pagegate matter. We reported that Kolbe was a member and chairman of the House Page Board at the time reports of ex-Florida GOP Rep. Mark Foley's inappropriate sexual conduct with underage male pages was known to the Republican House leadership.

Wayne Madsen Report (WMR) reported:

"From 2000 to 2001, the Page Board Chair was Rep. Sue Kelly (R-NY) and members included Rep. Jim Kolbe (R-AZ) (inexplicably replaced as chairman by Kelly), Kildee, Trandahl, and Livingood. Crews was the program coordinator. From 1999 to 2000, the Chairman was Kolbe and members included Rep. Jo Ann Emerson (R-MO), Kildee, Transdahl, and Livingood.

The coordinator was Crews. From 1998 (when the allegations first reportedly surfaced about Foley), the Chair was Tillie Fowler (R-FL) and members were Kildee, Kolbe, House Clerk Robin Carle, and Livingood. The page coordinator was Hugh Addington. Foley became a congressman in 1995."

The Washington Post is reporting today, rather belatedly, that Kolbe was aware of Foley's salacious e-mails with an underage page in 2000. One of Foley's Instant Messages sent in January 2002 to a page stated that Kolbe once invited four pages to use his Washington home while Kolbe was in Arizona.

There is also much focus on the relationship between House Speaker Dennis Hastert and his chief of staff, 56-year old Scott Palmer.

Hastert and Palmer, Hastert's longtime unmarried adviser, live together in a DC townhouse along with Hastert's Deputy Chief of Staff, Mike Stokke, while Hastert's wife Jean lives in Yorkville, Illinois and stays at a hotel when she visits Washington.

WMR has also learned of additional Senate links to the Pagegate scandal. There is much focus on GOP Sen. George Allen's predominantly white male staff.

There is also interest in the activities of a senior GOP Senator from a Rocky Mountain state...."

"...WMR's State Department sources have also reported that the visits of Hastert and other congressional leaders and staff members to certain Southeast Asian nations and the Northern Marianas should come under the scrutiny of the House Ethics Committee, now officially investigating "Pagegate."

The Northern Marianas became infamous in the scandals involving Tom DeLay and Jack Abramoff because of the presence in the US slave labor territory of Asian children being used as prostitutes. Conveniently, Foley cochaired the HouseCaucus on Missing and ExploitedChildren, which would have had authority to investigate charges of child prostitution in the Northern Marianas.



Were Hastert and other congressional visits visits to Thailand and Vietnam on the up-and-up?

...."



Our State Department sources report that it is no secret that a number of U.S. Foreign Service officers working out of the U.S. embassies in Bangkok, Phnom Penh, Hanoi, and Manila have been involved with underage nationals of the host countries where they are assigned. In fact, many have rotated their assignments between countries that look sideways at child prostitution and sex between adults and minors. In fact, John Mark Karr, as previously reported by WMR, was quickly whisked out of Bangkok after his arrest on pedophilia charges.


The U.S. Embassy in Bangkok, working with the CIA and Department of Homeland Security, arranged for Karr's quick departure from Bangkok on a business class flight to the United States, where all charges, including those stemming from Karr's "admission" that he killed JonBenet Ramsey and child porn charges, were later dropped.


WMR has learned that Karr may have been aware of the identities of top U.S. officials in the child sex trade in Thailand and that he was sprung from Thai authorities to prevent him from testifying in a Thai courtroom.

Hastert visited Vietnam, along with Palmer, in April of this year and spent three days in the country. Hastert, along with Illinois GOP Rep. Ray LaHood, canceled a visit to Thailand and Vietnam in January 2006. Hastert was also in Thailand in January 2002...."

The dumb ass media is missing the big picture here.And that's HIV+,not once have I heard or read that Senator Craig behavior is one of the reasons HIV+,AIDS and other STD are so prevalent in our country today, stated by the media,reporter or television show.His love for sucking cock anonymously in mensrooms put his wife's life at risk.You can get HIV+ from sucking an infected cock.Nice going Senator!

Larry,,,,cupcake

You drag your dumpy old BEARD to the podium to declare your NOT gay, NOT gay, NOT gay lifestyle...and you imagine that didn't put a huge glow in the dark target on your back.
HONEY...the queer community will dredge every swamp to find your toilet stall partners and NAIL you until your wide stance (of LEGENDS)...doubles. You will be walking bow-legged into 2008.
