Sen. Craig: Men’s Bathroom Polka
Buck August 28th, 2007 - 11:26 amThere is absolutely NO LIMITS to the christian-right hypocrisy.
“Uncertain that this would effect his re-election plans.”
What? From all the grief these republican IDIOTS and IMBECILES gave to President Clinton in having (consensual, adult, and straight) sex, they’re wondering if this will effect Sen. Craig’s political future? You people aren’t fit to be Americans, let alone govern!
Sen. Craig’s future in question after sex arrest
Idaho lawmaker pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charge
Aug. 28: Sen. Larry Craig pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct after allegedly soliciting sex in a men’s bathroom.WASHINGTON - Idaho Sen. Larry Craig, who has voted against gay marriage and opposes extending special protections to gay and lesbian crime victims, finds his political future in doubt after pleading guilty to misdemeanor charges stemming from complaints of lewd conduct in a men’s room.
The conservative three-term senator, who has represented Idaho in Congress for more than a quarter-century, is up for re-election next year. He hasn’t said if he will run for a fourth term in 2008 and was expected to announce his plans this fall.
A spokesman, Sidney Smith, was uncertain late Monday if Craig’s guilty plea in connection with an incident at the Minneapolis airport would affect his re-election plans.
“It’s too early to talk about anything about that,” Smith said.

If he is arrogant and/or stupid enough to behave in public this way, isn’t he making himself the perfect target for blackmail and extortion? Has he already voted a certain way because of blackmail or extortion? Why does the government make such a big deal about secrecy and security but then ignore this obvious potential security risk? Hasn’t he made himself a security risk with his own behavior? J. Edgar Hoover ring a bell?

Something they’re not talking about on the news is the “peeping”, which is how the whole incident started.
According to the charges, Senator Craig initially stood outside a bathroom stall occupied by the officer, and then “look[ed] through the crack between the stall door and its frame into the stall that Sergeant Karsnia was occupaying,” repeatedly “gazing into the stall” over a period of roughly two minutes. Craig allegedly “peered long enough” that the officer could “observe that the Defendant had blue eyes.â€Â
After entering a bathroom stall next to the undercover officer’s, Craig allegedly moved his right foot from his own stall into the officer’s stall where he allegedly “touched Sergeant Karsnia’s left foot†Next, the Idaho Senator was accused of swiping his hand under the bathroom stall divider three times with his palm up, moving it back and forth. The officer allged that he “observed a gold ring” on the ring finder of Craig’s left hand.
Approximately six (6) minutes after he first observed Craig allegedly peeping into his stall, followed by the bathroom stall encounter, the officer reported showed Senator Craig “his police identification under the stall,†and Craig allegedly “exclaimed ‘No!’â€Â
