Craig Arrested, Pleads Guilty Following Incident in Airport Restroom

Roll Call ^ | August 27, 2007 | John McArdle

[COBOL2Java]

The billiard balls are being set up in preparation for 2008. Senator Clinton wants to make sure she has a compliant Legislature beginning in '09...

[Bainbridge]

Well, you know, sorry, but Republicans claim that they have standards. SO, we should hold them to them. The dems say everything is ok, so they are not actually being particularly unfair here.

[snarks_when_bored]

What is it about this whole sex thing that you don't understand, Senator Craig?

[Santa Fe_Conservative]

Poor Idaho, they have one senator who’s out there and another one name Crapo...

[PeteB570]

Eeeeuuuu - TMI

The stall is for business - do it and get out.

[ConservativeDude]

By the way, why was he in a Minnesota airport? Is that a changeover on the way to Idaho? And did he research this particular hole to make sure that it was fag-friendly for his connecting flight?

The sick minds of fags.

[Revolting cat!]

"How does the defendant plead?"

"Fabulous, Your Honor!"

[Non-Sequitur]

That's the perp on the left. No wonder the G.I. doesn't look too happy...........

Depends on where Senator Craig's left hand is.

[jcparks]

Bawny Fwank is an admitted pervert. Its what WE are fighting.
Get rid of this guy's @ss...figuratively.

Damn, I'm beginning to hate the DBM

[Dianna]

If nothing else, the article has provided amusement for my afternoon.

I will never understand why crooks and perverts in the public eye, especially Republicans who ought to know 1/2 the universe is gunning for them, think they will never get caught.

[cspackler]

What I don’t get is, while I think he was doing exactly what is described for the reasons that are descibed, what exactly did he do that is illegal? I’m convinced that he’s a scumbag, but is sticking your shoe under the stall against the law? What am I missing?

[BurbankKarl]

he probably had a hookup on Craig’s list.

hahahaha

[irish guard]

I like how the one guy knows the “signal” of tapping your foot. Ugh....but hey, there are homos everywhere....so where are the sensitive, bedwetting lefties on this one? Oh yea, that’s right, it only matters if the homo is a lefty.

[donna]

He is married to the former Suzanne Thompson. They have three children: two sons, Mike and Jay, a daughter, Shae, and nine beautiful grandchildren.

Thanks dad.

[Eva]

I’m not saying that they guy is innocent, but I don’t think that his suspicious actions are enough for any kind of conviction. The man should have refused comment without a lawyer.

[Tijeras_Slim]

They have three children: two sons, Mike and Jay, a daughter, Shae, and nine beautiful grandchildren.

This is gonna make for some interesting conversation around the turkey at Thanksgiving.

[Vigilanteman]

For some reason this report just doesn't pass the smell test.

1. I'm not into Gay lifestyles, obviously, but can't see how the supposed hand signals and body language could legally constitute a proposition. If he'd had the door open, maybe. But airport restrooms tend to get very crowded at times, especially hub airports like MSP. I'm not comfortable with people lining up outside the stall door, but I've seen it happen.

2. If he really was trying to engage in perverted gay behavior in a crowded public restroom in an airport, then he is too stupid to ever have been elected U.S. Senator from one of the most conservative states in the nation.

I could be wrong, but I smell a setup to "out" someone because of their politics or some other agenda. That being said, I think Idaho can do a lot better than Sen. Craig given his "Lindsey Graham" approach with open borders.

[thefactor]

what an odd statement. i wonder if you have every unknowingly shaken hands with a "homo".

i wonder if you would have shaken this particular republican senator's hand before reading this article. or would you have automatically known he was a homo and therefore declined to shake his hand.

perhaps we can bottle your super keen gay-dar. we'd make millions!

[Responsibility2nd]

By the way, why was he in a Minnesota airport?

The only reason I know the answer is because I read Free Republic.

I felt I had to disclaim that!

Seems homos target ALL US airports for there sick hook-ups.

[Tulsa Ramjet]

interesting strategy.

The dems have openly serving homosexuals, and get to keep their seat, thus their hold on congress.

The repubs have closet homosexuals, that get outed, maybe by a strawman homosexual pretending to be a boyfriend (”met me at the restroom”), and the repubs lose seats. hmmmm.
