Slog - Comments on Mike Jones on Larry Craig http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/10/mike_jones_on_larry_craig Like, uh, literally. When the Larry Craig scandal first unfolded, Mike Jones told me that Sen. Larry Craig had been an escorting client of his. I asked Mike if he could prove his claim, but he said that while he didn't have voice mail messages to backup his claim, as he did with Ted Haggard, he would nevertheless come forward IF Craig did not follow through on his resignation. Today Jones told a Las Vegas radio station, "Larry Craig visited me." Like Haggard did, in the beginning, a spokesman for Larry Craig told the radio station that Jones' allegations are...

First Tedd Haggard, now Larry Craig. It's just nothing like a Falcon video. I'm a little bit sad and disillusioned.

Haggard was one thing but I seriously hope he charged extra for old Wide Stance.

Gee. It's like you didn't see it coming, but you're totally not surprised, because this much was expected. From Jones.

So how many other closets have Jones fucked--with his all-over-the-fucking-country whore-ass--that he has personally informed you of?

Did he cry and punch any walls because of Craig? How about Joey DiFatta? Or, has he yet to remember that one...we'll wait for the media to pimp the news. Then he'll remember.

Jones is also known for a Houston specialty: rapping over "screwed" versions of familiar hip-hop beats.

Extra credit: The lengthy tattoo on Jones's right arm reads: "If you don't work you don't eat, you don't grind you don't shine."

"It's not about homosexual sex because had Craig dressed like a woman and gone into the women's restroom and solicited sex it would be the same thing."

It may be true, and I think I would trust mike from a personal standpoint, but if the last 6 years have taught me anything it's that Republicans can work wonders with even a smidgen of plausible deniability. So even if it is true, for right now, it's worthless.

We know all of this. Which is why he needs new material for new books. We've been over this.

I have compassion for him, sure. Gratitude? No. But I've already expressed this.

Dan, come on. This isn't the slightest bit ridiculous to you?

Ted Haggard
Okay. Don't exactly agree with how you handled it, Jones, but okay. I'm 50/50 here.

A bunch of familiar faces in the Church
Um. Alright. No. But okay. Looks like most people believe you.

Larry Craig
Please. Macy's is hiring. Go away.

Search key words "craig" and "page scandal" on youtube.com if you need more information on the long-running hypocritical behavior of Idaho's favorite senator.
