Senator Larry Craig oh Senator Larry Craig


Keeping with this months theme of "How people abruptly end their career" public records show quite a bit about Senator Larry Craig.

From Roll Call:

Just minutes after Senate Republican leaders issued a statement Tuesday afternoon recommending the Senate Ethics Committee review Sen. Larry Craig’s (R-Idaho) arrest and subsequent guilty plea over an incident at a Minnesota airport men’s restroom, the Idaho Senator publically asked for his constituents’ forgiveness and proclaimed repeatedly that he is not a homosexual.
"I am not gay and I have never been in a restroom in Union Station having sex with anybody." "There's a very clear bottom line here," Craig said. "I don't do that kind of thing. I am not gay, and I never have been." Now this sounds an awful lot like a former prominent pastor. I won't continue to belabor the point, but if you want to see what else the Idaho Statesman paper dug up, click here.

Well I have an issue with this. It is not the gay thing that bugs me. So he wanted a blow job by the young stud in the stall next to him and signaled so by clicking his heels and tapping his neighbors feet. Big deal, he wanted some action, guy girl whatever. Now everyone is calling for his resignaation???

Did Bill Clinton not get a blow job in the oval office??? Where was his resignation? Hell, Monica looks like a guy. Billy was touting his great wife around everywhere trying to have her pass legislation. What a joke and what a double standard.

It's not the fact that he wanted some action, its the fact that he was soliciting the action in a public restroom at the airport. Just because a guy wants some action, doesn't give him license to hire a prostitute. I agree with the Clinton analogy. Maybe he'll use the definition of sexual relations that Bill used, or he'll stand by his statement that he's not gay (he's bisexual).
