Sen. Larry Craig has all but dropped any notion of trying to complete his term, and is focused on helping Idaho send a new senator to Washington within a few weeks, his top spokesman said Thursday.

"The most likely scenario, by far, is that by October there will be a new senator from Idaho," Craig spokesman Dan Whiting told the Associated Press.

The only circumstances in which Craig might try to complete his term, Whiting said, would require the overturning by Sept. 30 of his conviction for disorderly conduct in a men's room at the Minneapolis airport, as well as Senate GOP leaders' agreement to restore Craig's committee leaderships posts taken away this week.

Those scenarios are unlikely, Whiting said.

I am not trying to be a cold blanket,but I think Craig is being used to hide a bigger story, the movement of the (NUK) bomb to Flordia Barksdale AFB, it was just bip on the news but the fact is that Barksdale AFB is a jumping off place FOR THINGS GOING TO IRAQI, now that is strange, GET the full story on (http://www.buzzflash.com) now the movement of the(NUK) movement is making more sence.

"Until, the gay community STARTS condeming bad behavior in their own camp"

    Favorite    Flag as abusive Posted 02:32 AM on 09/07/2007

On topic, what kind of accountability do we expect from our politicians, when deceptive behavior has become the norm? Legal hair splitting comes on the heels of a poorly executed entrapment. If the officer had waited for more definitive proof instead of botching his own sting, we wouldn't be discussing whether someone was guilty or not guilty of public misconduct.

I want to know why the gay lobby is so outraged by the hypocrisy of one politician? Adults using restrooms for assignations is bad for society. If the gay community wants civil unions, then they need to condemn this kind of behavior. Until, the gay community stops condeming bad behavior in their own camp while smirking the other way at what goes on in rest stops in Massachusetts or on the beach in Provincetown, they aren't going to win any case for having standards. The kind of lewd and tasteless behavior that is represented in a gay parade in SF should also be addressed.

OT,What if a woman thinks the man she is dating is heterosexual? He wants her to think he"s hetero, he conceals that he"s bisexual, he fails to tell her that he has had thousands of male and female partners. What does the man deserve? What if the man is a mental health professional in charge of mental health services to others? Would this man deserve the proverbial sausages on the lawn on a pagan holiday that other old girlfriends gave him on the occassion of their finding out his deceptions?

I will take Senator Caig at his word when he says he is not gay and never has been gay. But, I do have question. When he was in that bathroom, was it his intention to be the sucker or the suckee?

Sen. Craig called his wife when he arrived in Minneapolis. He said, "I won't be home for supper, honey. I'm picking up a weiner at the airport!"

You heard wrong. He said he was "eating" a weiner.

To which his wife admonished: "Don't eat one of those jumbo dogs as you know they give you a headache."

To which Craig responded: "I'll be eating whatever is at the stall, I mean stand... er... uh... hot dog stand."

Sorry for the crappy and crude joke, I'm feeling like trailer trash tonight.

it takes a special kind of person to visit a public toilett to solicit sex. This person will not change his behavior, whether he marries gay or heterosexual and whether he outs himself. He wants the sex in public and the thrill of having sex with a complete stranger.

Tomorrow is just another opportunity to change his mind.

... But mike53, there's so MANY kinky 'Publicans that think along the same lines as Craig, JUST like him, to be specific - why would he leave friends like Vitter, Foley, and ALL the other GOPers caught with MORE than their hands in the 'cookie jar'? In fact, in light of those myriad deviants, GOP, as of now, stands for Greedy Ol' Perverts..! >;) ...

guess all the cards and letters to his fellow closet gay friends in congress changed their attitude about his staying. the only difference between a freezer and a republican is the freezer doesn't fart when you pull the meat out.

Hang in there, Sen. Widestance! Your country needs you to fight the charges against you and to hold onto your Senate seat and run for reelection in 2008.

Only the homophobes and the Republican Party will benefit if you drop out now.
