whats everyone's opinion on the Senator Larry Craig incident?

 

[Rabid Headbanger]

He's a bum puncher fo sho.

 

[Rabid Headbanger]

The airport butt patron who tried to hump the undercover cop.

My name is Larry Craig, and I approve this message.

 

[genocide roach]

i took a dump in a bathroom at that airport before. didnt experience any molestation though.

i really couldnt care less if hes a pillow biter or not. but the scandal has taken away any credibility he has in congress (for no good reason), so he wont be able to do his job.

So, I guess I'm not clear on what he exactly he did, but as far as I can tell, he went into a bathroom and tried to get sex from another man.

Uh... so? If he had tried to get sex from a woman would people care as much? "Lewd behavior". That should be the extent of it, and as far as I know, that's a nothing crime. But, because he's apparently gay, it's this whole big deal now and everyone wants him to resign and shit.

Maybe there's something else about Larry Craig that makes this worse, but I don't know anything about him. Until someone tells me that "well the undercover cop he tried to get sex from was a nine year old cub scout" or something... it just seems that the guy is in trouble for being gay.

andrew, you are surprised that a republican politician that is exposed to be homosexual is in hot water for it?

we are talking about the republicans here.

 

[King Richard]

I hate politicians.

In 1999, Craig became sharply critical of U.S. President Bill Clinton for his sex incident with a White House intern. Speaking on NBC's Meet The Press, Craig told Tim Russert: "The American people already know that Bill Clinton is a bad boy - a naughty boy. I’m going to speak out for the citizens of my state, who in the majority think that Bill Clinton is probably even a nasty, bad, naughty boy.”

Ah, ok. It still seems like he's being harassed more for being gay, though, and not so much for the hypocrisy.

 

[Hell Awaits Us All]

does anybody know if he at least said (no homo) before or after this event?

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

he was looking through the slits in the door for someone to sit next to.
if you had a kid say... 12 years old. and he was in the bathroom taking a shit and a fucking old gay bastard was peeking through the door looking at him for minutes then would offer sex. how would you feel

fuck gramur!

 

[King Richard]

I think it has more to do with the fact that he's an elected official and plead guilty to a charge. But obviously him being a fag is probably what gets most people's goats.

Along with the fact it was pretty obvious he was gay and lied to everyone for years.

 

[CaGeD iN]

look at bill clinton, having sex with someone isnt breaking a law

that would probably piss me off, but in this case it was two consenting adults.

 

[ohiogrinder]

I also find it peculiar that its always a Republican who get busted doing gay shit.

 

[Rabid Headbanger]

No, it's because republicans are anti-gay, and anti-gays are usually the closet homos. Plus since gay acceptance is a democrat platform, the canidate can be gay and no one give a fuck.

 

[Ender Rises]

I just heard about this. And I don't give a fuck.

He was actually propositioning for prostitution. The gayness did not matter in the charge. I'm glad he's going down for being such a hypocrite.

Yeah, there are a few openly gay members of Congress.

Barney Frank, from my home state

he makes a lot of money why would he need to be a prostitiute

 

[cookiecutter]

With all the tax cuts the government ran out of money. He took the job he could get
