Comments on The Gentleman from Idablow

i'm corn-fused (and i can't get roll call to load eaither). am i to understand you can be arrested for playing footsie in a restroom? is this disorderly conduct? i'm all for outing the fucked-up, closeted, conflicted Republican perverts, but i'm not sure this activity is deserving of arrest...

What is it about Republicants and Red Bushies that they talk talk talk so much about how other people are sinners while they are the worst Liars Pedophiles Cowards Apostates and Felons there are?

Only those who hate America would join such a failed group.

At least he did not offer the officer $20.00 to give the cop a blow job like the guy in Florida did.

Why (especially in this post-9/11 environment) would you cruise in a public restroom at an airport? Not only are these Republican perverts totally creepy, they're complete morons too. It's almost as if they want to get caught ... hmmm.

Also, meant to post this about, but this pretty much confirms the rumors that were put out last October that Sen. Craig was a notorious cruiser in the restrooms at Union Station.

Even the Christian bloggers are picking up on this.

By far the best part of the above is the author - one David Neff referring to DS as a "Haggard-baiting lust columnist".

Lust columnist. Me like.

@1 yeah, like, wha? illegal? okay.

Tikkun Olum and our obligation to Tzedakah is well served by exposing these Christian idiots.

Conservative Jews simply are never sex offenders. Something about Judaism makes people righteous. It's only the conservative, Christians who are perverted by their toxic religion become creeps.

Jews, even the most religious Jews are never like this.

Ooops. My comment is about the Haggard thing. So many Republican gay baiting cocksuckers so little time.

Um, yeah whatever, Issur.

This?

"So many Republican gay baiting cocksuckers so little time."

Is classic! Thanks for the laugh Alex!

Since when is toe tapping and finger wagging against the law? What is this country coming to? It's not like he offered money or anything! And since there a law against trying to pick someone up? If that were true, then half the guys in bars would be arrested!!!

The cycle continues…

• Closeted homosexual politicians join the Republican party (whose gay sector is likely one of the most well-fortified closets available in the USA), where they absorb and espouse bigoted fundamentalist values;

• Still unable to control their urges (just as few humans can be expected to), they resort to any number of shady, non-family-friendly means of fulfilling the need, often without regard for the feelings of those on the other end;

• "Obviously," says the gay-ignorant public, "homosexual politicians are all shady, hypocritical perverts — thank God we're voting for people totally unlike that!"

The tricky part will be to find the wedge — some appealing candidate or well-articulated philosophy — that can break through this and convince people that if you vote for a happy, well-adjusted homosexual, with his smiling husband (or her smiling wife) and their smiling adopted kids, he (or she) will not have *any reason* to attend anonymous meth orgies or otherwise embarrass and betray the constituency.

maybe if he worked out more.

@1 - it seems to me that he could've probably beaten the charges, but, well, he didn't. And let's face it ... regardless of its legality, we all know what his little game of footsie was really all about, and it's still pretty damn embarrassing for him.

@13- the answer is simple: Barney Frank

The problem comes that closet cases don't want respectable role models, because respectable role models make them feel like the repressed pathetic tool-bags they are.

It's better to have a tragic homo stereotype as opposition, as it fortifies the closet... and ironic then, that inevitably they become said stereotype.

Larry Craig should not fly Northwest Airlines anymore. At least he needs to stay off my flights to Milwaukee.

The New Jersey governer aside, it seems you hear a lot more about Republican hypocrits going down in flames more than democratic ones. Why is that?

Is it because the stories are just too savory?

Then again, maybe he truely does believe in family conservative values. Isn't that what homosexuals did back in the old days? Self loathing, closeted hyprocrits, who engage in self-destructive means to satisify their natural albeit evil urges.

He still gets the 100% rating from the Christian Coolition.

This part bugs me.

The man, who lingered in front of the stall for two minutes, was later identified as Craig.

“I could see Craig look through the crack in the door from his position. Craig would look down at his hands, ‘fidget’ with his fingers, and then look through the crack into my stall again. Craig would repeat this cycle for about two minutes,” the report states.

Can't a guy get a little privacy after a long flight? What a jackass. I say arrest him for spying on men taking a dump.
