No YouTube video clips?

Not gay, but loves gay sex.

Bi - Fool could be on that list,he should have got a lawyer right a way and that might have been that,and not for nothing but that cop sounded like a prick on the tape. I should add that Craig sounded like a total eegit on the tape.

I have no freakin' idea -- in fact, it took me a minute to place the name. But doesn't this seem like a weird "crime" to have undercover law enformcement assigned to root out? I mean do we really need cops sitting in bathroom stalls trained to pick up on non-verbal gay-sex intro clues?

Benjamin Grimm Sep 05 2007 01:04 PM

It is a little strange that this crime should be the subject of a sting operation. It seems easy enough for anyone who's not interested to ignore such overtures. My guess is that it's been happening a lot, and that the airport has been receiving complaints, so they put somebody on it.

Gayer than a french horn. Not that there's anything wrong with that. The Idaho Statesman newspaper, whom he throws under the bus, conducted a pretty deep investigation. What's funny is his apprent disgust for such "depravity" and his party's willingness to throw him overboard for it.

Anybody ever field an overture in a public restroom? I had a "misunderstanding" at a rest area in Utah. It was creepy enough that I got in the car and drove another 100 miles --- I had pulled over exhausted -- before just feeling really really sad for my would-be paramour, reduced to such a lifestyle.

Johnny Dickshot Sep 05 2007 01:19 PM

Crowded subway car. Not fun.

On our recently concluded vacation, whenever my son would go into the men's room, I'd stand at the door keeping an eye out for U. S. Senators.

He's a straight man who occasionally likes to have sex with men. It's not unheard of, and to automatically put someone with those interests as "gay" or "bi" misstates the situation. The real issue is the hypocracy -- that it's OK for him to have sex with men, but not other people.

RealityChuck wrote: He's a straight man who occasionally likes to have sex with men. I don't agree with your definition. "Straight," to me, means someone who's not at all interested in having sex with someone with similar genitals to their own. RealityChuck wrote: The real issue is the hypocracy -- that it's OK for him to have sex with men, but not other people. That I agree with. I don't care what his private practices are, and he shouldn't care about anyone else's. What really bugs me is the possibility that his staunch anti-gay political stances come from either self-loathing or a need to cover up his true inclinations, or both.

Edgy DC Sep 05 2007 02:03 PM

Actually, I think that's the hypocrisy he was speaking of. ]I don't care what his private practices are, and he shouldn't care about anyone else's. Well, the cops' interest --- and Minnesota's --- is that it wasn't private.

Speaking of hypocrites, Larry Craig Voted YES on constitutional ban of same-sex marriage I suppose you could be homosexual and still be against gay marriage. A strange combination, but not impossible.

Yes I mis-read Chucks post...sorry.

I suppose if I were following this one a bit more closely I might know the answer to this, but where is the crime exactly? - OK Senator (or waiter, or whatever) ... we caught you not only signaling but also knowingly answering return signals so you're under arrest because we think that indicates that you intend to have sex in a public place. Seems a bit pre-emptive to me - even if there is an air of sleaziness to it all. Hell, an undercover cop could arrest everyone who has ever been in a singles bar on the pretense that the wink they shot across the room is probable cause to believe that they're about to get it on on top of the pool table or out back behind the dumpster.

metirish Sep 05 2007 02:21 PM

Tell you what though,won't be spreading the legs wide anymore when taking a dump in a public restroom.

Edgy DC Sep 05 2007 02:22 PM

No doubt. All the more reason he should have fought it.

Kid Carsey Sep 05 2007 02:52 PM

I sat in the ladies bathroom stall for two-and-a-half hours a morning or two after this story broke tapping my shoes and waving my business card under the door at my office and got no takers. Got a couple of 'grow up KC's' and 'in your dreams' and one 'meet me in the stairwell, NOT.'

A strange combination, but not impossible. the vote could also be explained as upholding the platform he campaigned on even if he no longer (or never did) believe in it, which is certainly a huge step up from tailoring your "opinion" to the polls and then not following through. edit- i voted "bi" but "i don't know and don't really care" would be a better answer, the issue is his public conduct and whether it broke the law not whether he likes boys.

He is now actually reconsidering his resignation, pending him trying to reverse his guilty plea. He has pretty much run out of friends in Washington. That he thinks he could stay on and possibly get re-elected in '08 is absolutely mind-boggling.
