I think GGG probably thinks he hates them for deep seated reasons. Ty hates neither me or gays. but many of you think it's fun to make gay jokes.

Wine. In. A. Box. And not the new "upscale" stuff either. Fucking Franzia or some such shit. The kind of stuff that causes you to dictate your sexual thoughts and exploits and have your secretary type 'em up.

Don't you go sullying Joe Welch like that, Senator McCarthy.

No reference to Wikipedia there. See if I have that name right, will you?

I make loads of gay jokes, many to gay friends. Are you suggesting that one who engages in such humor is anti-gay in the sense a politician who votes against gay rights is?

Both in a sense. I do not care if he is gay, but I admit that I get more glee from learning someone is a sanctimonious hypocrite on moral issues, than a run-of-the-mill hypocrite on less compelling issues. We all know politicians say they are for fiscal restraint, but vote for pork, or take farm subsidies, or take aggressive tax breaks. As for it being a so-called Liberal issue, that is because it is only the so-called conservatives running around trying to amend the constitution, make certain behavior illegal, ban strip clubs or drugs, etc.

That's why Marion Berry was a mostly non-issue - he hadn't publicly tried to fuck with other people while doing it himself. Same with Barney Frank. On these social issues, the only hypocrisy comes from the so-called Christian, moral majority, right. Thus, by definition, the glee comes from finding out that they violate their alleged, professed values by fucking men, kids pets, or prostitutes, abusing drugs, etc.

Did I get glee from finding out Rush Limbaugh was an addict? Absolutely. Am I glad he was addicted? No, but I admit to getting more enjoyment from that level of hypocrisy than learning he was secretly listening to Al Franken.

okay, I take your word, and I apologize to all the libs here. Quick question though, someone made the re line "The Emporer is Jerking Off to Boy's Life" and I have trouble reconciling that with only implying hypocricy. you know it sounds a little like gay=pedophile, or at least that is the inference I'm stuck on here, maybe the Senator said something like tat once so it's cool, or maybe the arresting cop is young looking?

What i find weird isn't whether he is a hypocrite. He appears to be one. What I find weird is that you guys don't see that you are also.

also, did anyone think it weird how AG always claimed nfh was really a guy pretending to be a girl? what if he was? what is wrong with that?
Atticus wasn't using the man's sexual orientation as the basis of his humor. He was finding the humor in the fact that yet another Republican who has made political hay out of being anti-gay has been exposed as being full of shit.

Atticus, Ty, Shifter, and I, as well as the others who have joined this thread aren't making fun at Craig's expense for hitting on a man. If you can't get past the sexual orientation, then that's your baggage, not ours.

............. There is the case of the Philippines. I have tried hard, and yet I cannot for the life of me comprehend how we got into that mess. Perhaps we could not have avoided it -- perhaps it was inevitable that we should come to be fighting the natives of those islands -- but I cannot understand it, and have never been able to get at the bottom of the origin of our antagonism to the natives. I thought we should act as their protector -- not try to get them under our heel. We were to relieve them from Spanish tyranny to enable them to set up a government of their own, and we were to stand by and see that it got a fair trial. It was not to be a government according to our ideas, but a government that represented the feeling of the majority of the Filipinos, a government according to Filipino ideas. That would have been a worthy mission for the United States. But now -- why, we have got into a mess, a quagmire from which each fresh step renders the difficulty of extrication immensely greater. I'm sure I wish I could see what we were getting out of it, and all it means to us as a nation.
Next you'll be comparing Iraq to Vietnam.

Having reviewed the tapes, I have to conclude you not only lost, but you were stomped.

You did, however, concede gracefully once it became apparent you were sawing off the limb you had climbed out on.

It's OK for you to be reactionary -- it's part of your charm -- but don't be stupid. It's hardly becoming. There's no insult to anyone there, except possible Spanky, and he wouldn't respect me if I didn't insult him now and again. And the other thing? What. ever.

Here's one of the statutes listed in the arrest report. I think it's the charge to which he pled guilty but I'm not sure how they get here from Craig's actions:
Quote:
609.72 DISORDERLY CONDUCT.

Subdivision 1. Crime. Whoever does any of the following in a public or private place,
including on a school bus, knowing, or having reasonable grounds to know that it will, or will
tend to, alarm, anger or disturb others or provoke an assault or breach of the peace, is guilty of
disorderly conduct, which is a misdemeanor:
(1) Engages in brawling or fighting; or
(2) Disturbs an assembly or meeting, not unlawful in its character; or
(3) Engages in offensive, obscene, abusive, boisterous, or noisy conduct or in offensive,
obscene, or abusive language tending reasonably to arouse alarm, anger, or resentment in others.
The other one is Section 609.746 and I think even more of a stretch.

Notwithstanding the weak case, I share Lester's glee in the exposure of hypocrisy. If you have a secret life, it would be generally advisable not to take public political stands against the very behavior in which you yourself engage.

That's some pretty weak shit, but of course he had to plead guilty and hope that it never came out. Not that that was such a hot option, either.

I've been ignoring presidential candidates & their speeches so you'll have to help me out. What did he say and what does he do?

If he talked about helping the poor but in his private life gouges the poor (i.e. is a slum lord, overcharges them, etc.), then yes it would count.

I know you've been married a long time, and most of your proposals occur in the privacy of your quarters; AND I know you watch lots of porno, so you might think most new relationships start after a pizza/pool boy or Avon lady enters a private residence, but IRL most raltionships do start with a public suggestion of a possible liason.

When Quarterback Billy asks Sally the cheerleader to prom, right in front of her locker there in the hallway, you can't read between the lines?

Ethics
 
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?
