A Whole New Meaning for CRAIGSLIST

David Phillips. Mike Jones. Greg Ruth. Tom Russell. (Thanks to Chris Drelich for the title of this post) Dan Popkey of the Idaho Statesman reports:

"Four gay men, willing to put their names in print and whose allegations can't be disproved, have come forward since news of U.S. Sen. Larry Craig's guilty plea. They say they had sex with Craig or that he made a sexual advance or that he paid them unusual attention. They are telling their stories now because they are offended by Craig's denials, including his famous statement, "I am not gay, I never have been gay." Those words, spoken on live national TV on Aug. 28, are now memorialized on a just-released-for-Christmas Talking Senator Larry Craig Action Figure."

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.
