Politics Today in Larry Craig
posted by on September 6 at 10:17 AM
The toilet Larry Craig made famous was listed on various cruising-for-sex websites. A friend of Andrew Sullivan wonders just how Craig got to that particular toilet:
It’s an obvious one, but I hadn’t thought of it until a friend asked. Could someone ask which flights Senator Craig was taking during his lay-over, so to speak, at the Minneapolis airport? If we had that, we could see which gates he had to get to and from and also see if the restroom he used was en route or out of the way. His account of his actions would make much less sense if the restrooms were way off his obvious itinerary, no? So where were they in relation to his trip?
So… was it a coincidence, Sen. Craig? Or was it Satan?
And it looks like Larry Craig is now intends to quit the Senate after all.
Sen. Larry Craig has all but dropped any notion of trying to complete his term, and is focused on helping Idaho send a new senator to Washington within a few weeks, his top spokesman said today. “The most likely scenario, by far, is that by October there will be a new senator from Idaho,” Craig spokesman Dan Whiting told the Associated Press.
But there is glimmer of hope for fans of GOP sex scandals…
The only circumstances in which Craig might try to complete his term, Whiting said, would require a prompt overturning of his conviction for disorderly conduct in a men’s room at the Minneapolis airport, as well as Senate GOP leaders’ agreement to restore Craig’s committee leaderships posts taken away this week.
Craig has lawyered up, and may yet get that conviction overturned. And from the DCCC…
Fucking fuck. Would he stop stealing headlines with his horseshit flip/flop routine? He's absolutely boring. In every way. Quit. Die. Anything.
Oh no, Mr. Poe. I want this to go on for a long, long time. I want an open, circus-like trial that would make Michael Jackson or OJ blush. I want senate hearings where Senatorr actually have to repeated say the word "fellatio". I want round-the-clock news coverage with diagrams of secret restroom cruising signals. Fight on Senator, fight on!
I'm actually getting bored with this story much the same way I got bored with Anna Nicole Smith looong before she killed herself. Prolonged exposure to train wrecks ruins the overall experience for me.
BANG! CARNAGE! DONE! NEXT!
That's the way it's supposed to work.
Well he needs to do something crazy. For my entertainment. Like, accidentally fall in the shower while plugging his ass with the wood-end of a plunger. Or, I guess he could just admit he's gay. I need something new. New stuff, Craig. You're boring me to death.
probably not. the Northstar Crossing is in the middle of the airport and includes a food court. Given a layover (oh, the LOLs), a trip through it could easily be rationalized regardless of gate assignments.
Want more carnage? His daughter has a warrant out for contempt of court. So standing up for her not-so-homo father may end up getting her arrested. Wait for it...
Why don't you ask Slog Reader Zach, who was just there, and whose pictures you posted in the Slog yesterday? I'll bet he knows.
You live in a strange country...why is being gay so traumatic in the US, 2007?
I feel so sorry for this Craig-person´s wife, the dangers he has exposed her to, because who use (without questions)condoms in the bedroom of a married couple?
What I want to know (but am too lazy to research myself) is: what terrible news story is being buried in the back pages while this maintains its spotlight-hogging position?
The potty putz pulling scandal is a fine distraction for the goi as Israel ramps up attacks on Syria in preparation for Iran.
Excellent work Dan. Zohar posits that at least part of the Gentile soul emanates from the "left side" of the Sefirotic structure and that non-Jews therefore have a dark or demonic aspect to them that is absent in Jews. The goi must be reminded that they are dark creatures that must submit to their betters.
Issur, can't you just go back to trolling the SA forums or something?
I think the story you're missing is the nuclear warheads that were flown to the Louisiana airbase that's the main Iraq staging point yesterday. By "accident".
