Larry Craig (R-ID) Accused of Lewd (and Gay) Act

Filed in Uncategorized by on August 27, 2007

I almost tire of these stories. Larry Craig is accused of soliciting a sexual act in an airport mens room. Then he pulled an Atkins and handed his Senate business card and said “What do you think about that?” No word on whether he was trying to pick the cop up or not with that smooth line.

So, I think that it is OK to kick this guy out of office. If for no other reason than he voted against discrimination based on sexual orientation. Granted, he voted for the same-sex marriage ban, so presumably he didn’t actually want to marry the guy, I guess he just wanted a quickie.

I won’t go so far as to say that one should carry his vote against adding homosexuality to the list of hate crimes to its logical conclusion, but I wonder if straight Larry would have afforded the same. I am in favor of waterboarding him, though. Apparently, straight Larry would have been in favor, too.

    I bet the cop was a left leaning liberal bastard that entrapped the poor guy.

    this guy is a fine american and deserves bettger treatment.

    the better question is when will Burris write a letter and ask for him to resign?

    DV — What have you ever done in public that made the situation around you better?

  3. liberalgeek says:

    Actually, Dave did just that a few hours ago.

  4. Dave says:

    Also, LG, Craig plead guilty to a lesser charge, so you know he did something.

    He’s gotta go. Today.

  5. liberalgeek says:

    Yes, I think my “accused” covers the questionable nature of the larger context. But yes, he has now been convicted of a misdemeanor. The larger accusation will have to hang there in the court of public opinion…

    “Also, LG, Craig plead guilty to a lesser charge, so you know he did something.”

    I heard he was just experimenting with homosexuality but he swears he didn’t swallow!

    He said, “It’s not the same unless you swallow.” He is pleading the Clinton case where, Clinton didn’t inhale pot.

  7. Disbelief says:

    He showed the arresting officer his Senate ID and asked if that made a difference.

    Who does that remind you of?

  8. anon says:

    Will the last Republican leaving Congress please wipe down the place with some antibacterial wipes and turn off the lights.

  9. watcher in the skies says:

    Now he’s denying everything. Talk about conflicted.

  10. Kilroy Was Here says:

    “Roll Call, citing the report, said Sgt. Dave Karsnia made the arrest after an encounter in which he was seated in a stall next to a stall occupied by Craig. Karsnia described Craig tapping his foot, which Karsnia said he “recognized as a signal used by persons wishing to engage in lewd conduct.”

    That was it , tapping his foot!

  11. liberalgeek says:

    So, what was he guilty of in his plea?

  12. Chris says:

    ““recognized as a signal used by persons wishing to engage in lewd conduct.””

    I tap my foot all the time….

    I did not know that about myself….

    Keep thinking pure thoughts.

    Begging while on his knees? Manhandling?

    Well, KWH’s last comment made me go look for updates on this. What Kilroy mentioned was the recent update at that point…now more has been revealed, making Craig look like not just a hypocritical scum bag, but a lying one at that.

  15. liberalgeek says:

    Good link Smitty. See ya Larry.

  16. liberalgeek says:

    Oh and nice avatar. Are you the Scots or the English in your reference?

  17. r smitty says:

    I prefer to be the Scots. I know what the outcome was, but I am looking specifically at the individual battles. In the threat of lawsuit mania, I kilted up. Ooo, probably not a good reference in this comment thread.

  18. liberalgeek says:

    yikes… I can almost hear your foot tapping… So Delawareliberal isn’t the English then? OK, I can live with that.

  19. r smitty says:

    Nah, something tells me if this ever happens, you might go don a kilt in the name of brotherhood. Ooo, again, not a good reference in this comment thread.

    Three strikes and you’re out(ed).

  21. Kilroy Was Here says:

    Say this case went before a jury! Will the prosecutor call in gays for expert witnesses to demonstrate foot tapping mating calls?

    What do they do use Morse Code, 3 taps for a blow job and 5 to ride the happy stick?
    Was there any verbal communication? Physical contact ? We was the offense.

    What if, Jason was at the beach and a gay man walk by and winked and said high honey? Would that be ground for charges?

    PS being very serious here, this really has nothing to do with politics, I just looking at this from a legal perspective. At first I “assumed” he made some time of physical contact with another person.

    PS Joking here
    The only political connection I can possibly see is, a guy walked into the bathroom and said to Craig “ I know you, you’re one of the Republicans that’s letting Bush fucking me” Craig responded, “ I am tired of this shit being accused of Fucking everybody because of George Bush. You know what buddy (Craig grabs his dick) here bent the Fuck over and I’ll fuck you if it will make you feel good!

    I think Larry is thinking of that old joke,

    “You build a thousand buildings, but do they call you Frank Lloyd Wright?”
    “You paint a thousand paintings, but do they call you Picasso?”
    “You suck one dick….”
