I don't get why pleading guilty to a misdemeanor is resulting in the Senate Republicans calling for an ethics inquiry into the allegedy horny allegedly homosexual senator from Idaho.

Is it because it's a crime of moral turpitude, or whatever?
Good point.

Were he Democrat, Reid, et. al. would probably honor him with a standing ovation and a rose garden ceremony.

I know you or I would get yelled at if we made the "jacking off to Boy's Life" reference the Dems did here.

Is there no violent crime in this jurisdiction? We are in a war on terror with fanatics threatening to kills millions of Americans and our internal security forces our hanging out in bathrooms? American soldiers are risking their lives to make us safer, and these so called peace officers being funded by our tax dollars are making us safer by playing footsy in a bathroom stall.

My father attended Stanford Law School in the 1950s. The cops raided the bathrooms at the Palo Alto train station where I guess the homosexuals were hooking up. Some of these guys rounded up were in his law school class and he never saw or heard from them again. I remember when he told me that story when I was in school; I was thinking I am so glad that I live in a much more "enlightened" time. Boy was I a naive kid.

At the same time this idiot's hypocrisy makes me sick. To condemn others for (and to profit from) actions one does on their own in secret is just beyond pathetic. It shows a complete vacuum of character and integrity. If this guy got run over by a truck, it wouldn't bother me for a second.

This whole episode is just sickening from about thirty different levels.

Were he a Democrat there would be no issue, since he would not have taken a strident stance against gay marriage to pander to a base. It would be an embarrassment, but not much else.*

Unless he were some freak like Edwards who wants to sweep the thin Archie Bunker sector of the Democratic Party (union sorts with "traditional values," the old "Catholic Democrats," etc...).

*You probably won't do well if you run through the barn door I appear to open there. Arguing the Dems are a morally bankrupt party who'd see nothing wrong with Craig's behavior isn't a strong position right now.

Pathetic is pitiable and Mr. Craig is not pitiable. Mr. Craig voted to impeach Bill Clinton.

His statement "I am not gay" at his news conference today will haunt him, and soon. Rumor is, four men are about to come forward and say otherwise.

It is splitting hairs, no? He didn't come out and say he's never done sexual things with other men.

Nor did he deny being bisexual.

You're not serious?

If you're either for or against any politician 100%, you're a lemming.
