In the top left corner at Drudge:

BROKEBACK BATHROOM: SENATOR BUSTED IN AIRPORT SEX STING…
CRAIG’S LIST: TERROR IN THE TOILETS…
His Own Private Idaho…

No siren, though.

*** Update ***

Ugh:

In an interview on May 14, Craig told the Idaho Statesman he’d never engaged in sex with a man or solicited sex with a man. The Craig interview was the culmination of a Statesman investigation that began after a blogger accused Craig of homosexual sex in October. Over five months, the Statesman examined rumors about Craig dating to his college days and his 1982 pre-emptive denial that he had sex with underage congressional pages.

The most serious finding by the Statesman was the report by a professional man with close ties to Republican officials. The 40-year-old man reported having oral sex with Craig at Washington’s Union Station, probably in 2004. The Statesman also spoke with a man who said Craig made a sexual advance toward him at the University of Idaho in 1967 and a man who said Craig “cruised” him for sex in 1994 at the REI store in Boise. The Statesman also explored dozens of allegations that proved untrue, unclear or unverifiable.

Craig, 62, was elected to Congress in 1980. Should he win re-election in 2008 and complete his term, he would be the longest-serving Idahoan ever in Congress. His record includes a series of votes against gay rights and his support of a 2006 amendment to the Idaho Constitution that bars gay marriage and civil unions.

No one should have to endure that. They really shouldn’t.

*** Update ***

And in case you were wondering, lewd conduct warrants a resignation, prostitution does not. If only Craig had the foresight to solicit gay prostitutes.

    Of course Drudge is having fun.

    A closeted, repressed gay man has been exposed, and once again, it’s not him.

    If only we could take people’s sex lives out of politics. Oh boo hoo! Why is it that a four term Senator, who’s spent his career vilifying people who aren’t rich and shameless enough to live in the closet, should be grilled on his own sex life when he is clearly a saint among bathroom blowing men. Why oh why do we live in such a mixed up crazy world?

    I blame Clinton.

    I don’t know what you libruhls are all worked up over. Larry Craig didn’t try to marry a gay man, he just tried to blow one in a public restroom stall. He’s never voted against that, has he? No hypocrisy to see here, move along…

    Now I’ve got the B-52’s stuck in my head.

    In an interview on May 14, Craig told the Idaho Statesman he’d never engaged in sex with a man or solicited sex with a man.

    Duh! Craig knows that people who love people with matching gonads can’t get married, and they aren’t entitled to protection from discrimination in the work place. So of course he knows they can’t have sex.

    bukkake: its a form of porn and it involves getting excited and then releasing your manhood on a woman’s face. Usually multiple men and one woman are involved in the porn.

    Hot huh?

    What is it about the GOP and these scandals… I’m sick of people dredging up the same old same old stupid examples, so here’s a new stupid example–I give you Jon Hinson:

    During his re-election campaign in 1980, Hinson admitted that he had been arrested for committing an obscene act, exposing himself to an undercover policeman, at the Iwo Jima Memorial in Arlington National Cemetery. Hinson denied that he was homosexual and blamed his problems on alcoholism. He said that he had reformed and refused to yield to demands that he resign.
    […]
    Hinson, who was married to Cynthia Hinson, was then arrested on February 4, 1981 and was charged with attempted oral sodomy[1] for performing oral sex on a male employee of the Library of Congress in the restroom of the House of Representatives. He resigned on April 13, 1981, early in his second term. He said that his resignation had been “the most painful and difficult decision of my life.”
    […]
    Soon afterwards, he acknowledged that he was homosexual. His marriage ended, and he became an activist for homosexual causes.

    Justin’s summary seems accurate. The word is a Japanese term. Look up “hentai” some time — on something relatively safe like wikipedia — and you’ll have a learning experience.

    Soon afterwards, he acknowledged that he was homosexual. His marriage ended, and he became an activist for homosexual causes.

    Hey, good for him. I can’t comment extensively on the character of someone I had never heard of before reading Pb’s link, but it looks like he handled it much more maturely, honorably and honestly than any of the recent incidents.

    Leave this to the resident perv.

    Bukkake originally came from Japan and revolved around humiliation of women for sexual kicks, not one of the usual kinks but some women like it.

    It is like a gang bang without the bang in that a large group of men generally stand around one woman and get off basically giving her a “shower”.

    There is the lesbian version as well involving talented women with the ability to “squirt”. Same concept, different genitalia.

    Ya gotta feel sorry for the wives. It must be devastating for a woman to find out her husband likes dick more than she does.

    Of course, they should have seen the signs.

    I tend to think what Craig did (and does) shows him to be more a hypocrite than a lawbreaker. I mean, he was essentially arrested for tapping his feet. Then again, I might not appreciate such gestures if I was dropping a load.

    It’s sad but true but they are called “Beards” and the practice has been around for ages. Some do know, most do not simply because it is a risk the one needing cover doesn’t want to take. This goes back to the idea that to them being gay is a choice and by getting married and going through the motions of “normalcy” they can somehow change.

    In more interesting news, it seems that there was gay marriage in the middle ages, for a time anyway:

    I mean, he was essentially arrested for tapping his feet.

    And lingering around outside another stall, peeking into the stall, sitting next to the stall and reaching his hand underneath the divider, and spreading his feet so wide they touched the cop’s feet.

    Nothing suspicious there.

    The entire issue here is the “code” that has been used. If the cops are staking out these restrooms there are signs they look for before moving in. In this case, since it’s a high traffic area those looking to get a little “action” need to be more discreet than to say “hey nice shoes, wanna fuck?”. As such the code becomes the means of solicitation. This is probably why it was a “lewd act” and not necessarily a solicitation arrest similar to the other closet case in florida.

    Of course Hugh Hewitt thinks he should resign. Craig was involved with the Romney campaign. Can’t have Craig drag down Hugh’s mancrush.

    It’s not just Hewitt–all the wingnuts are singing pretty much the same tune. And really–why would we expect anything different from them?

    (In ‘fairness’ to the wingnuts, it seems Craig went against the nativist party line on immigration…so the backlash may be at least partly due to a kind of bigotry other than the obvious one.)

    And here I thought that the lack of reaction to the bukkake foreign policy analogies was due to other reasons. In that case, I affirm that tnose analogies were apt! Apt, I say!

    Seems like this Craig matter goes back to the evangelical notion of being punished harshly for sins, rather than forgiven.

  1. […] When Hugh Hewitt admitted that he wants Larry Craig to resign but does not want the adulterous, serial-prostitute-hiring David Vitter to do so, he was subjected to ridicule and scorn from many different corners — on the ground that this inconsistency is obviously attributable both to anti-gay animus and rank political self-interest (Vitter’s replacement would be chosen by a Democratic Governor, whereas Craig’s would be chosen by a right-wing GOP Governor). Even some right-wing blogs noted the absurdity of that position: “Hugh Hewitt wants Craig to resign immediately but David Vitter to stay on. Huh?” Yet that contradictory and nakedly unprincipled posture has now become the official position of the GOP leadership, led by its pious “moral values” wing. A whole slew of very upstanding Family Values Senators are parading around making a flamboyant showing of pressuring Larry Craig to resign (knowing that it will entail no political cost), all while remaining completely silent about David Vitter’s at least equally “undignified” and confessed adultery and lawbreaking (acts which, just like Craig, he concealed from his family and colleagues in the Senate until he had no choice).
