In other news which has absolutely no connection whatsoever to Sen. Larry Craig, the RNC has announced an initiative to increase GOP primary turnout by moving polling places to public restrooms.

I just read Guilani has endorsed Chertoff to replace Gonzales. What the hell? With Chertoff at the helm, I’m sure all cases will be decided by his gut feeling. Someone save this country.

Pole-ing places. Heh.
Relatedly, the Bush Admin has just written an executive order closing all public restrooms in the states of Florida, Ohio, Michigan, and Virginia until December of 2008.

Well, let’s just say I wouldn’t kick either one of them out of the stall for tapping her foot.
By the way, the New York Times had the audacity to run the Larry Craig story this morning.
As our intrepid conservatives feared, the story was featured prominently … on page A19. The very last page of the national section. Below the fold. Under a picture of a Hawaiian ferry service, next to a blurb on wing inspections for Boeing 737s, and immediately above the information directory for contacting people at the paper.

Well that would certainly help with their bed wetting problem.
What is the difference really between what they both did?
Vitter admitted to committing a major crime by paying for sex with a prostitute. Craig pled guilty to a misdemeanor of lewd conduct.
Clearly, Craig is the one who has to go.

So its illegal to tap your foot in the men’s room? What lewd conduct did the Sen actually commit? Is tapping your foot lewd? What if he was listening to his ipod. The Sen needs a lawyer. From what I read, there was no actual lewd conduct.

As I said on another thread, this boils down to the code and the manner of solicitation. The stings were set up with the “code” in mind. Of course this could be innocent but according to reports Craig didn’t do too much to help himself and even tried to use his position to get out of the situation. Further, the stupid bastard plead guilty which means…he was doing exactly what they said he was.
This would be akin to drug busts where the cop wants “the stuff”. Well the stuff is drugs, it’s a codeword, here the code among the bathroom bangers is foot tapping etc.
In winger speak: Vitter was seduced by wicked temptress’ Craig was looking to cornhole/be cornoled.

So what’s your theory for the whole hand waving thing? He was listening to Aretha Franklin and was singing to himself “sock it to me, sock it to me, sock it to me, sock it to me”?
According to the report he also slid his foot under the stall and rubbed the cops foot with it. I am sure he slipped though….on the KY that is…

Update: Teen contestant we featured here on YouTube yesterday was on the Today show today.
You’ll never guess! She isn’t stupid, or unable to form a sentence. She was, she explained, nervous, and didn’t hear or understand the question she was asked. She didn’t know what to do so just blurted out some stuff and later had no idea what she had been asked, or what she said.
She appeared to be rather normal teenage girl with interests and ambitions and to be a completely nice and pleasant person.
And the victim of the new instant mob mentality that appears to reign supreme on the Tubes. Although, I must say, she seemed pretty level headed and rather amused by all the attention she has been getting.
Not that any of this matters here, where snark and the roar of the mob is all-important.
I regret, and withdraw, the snarky remarks I made about it yesterday, and I’m sorry I got sucked into yet another one of these instant yukathons.
I just read that. Although this part of your post:

Umm, apparently, Bush has decided that nuclear war on Iran is the only possible course of action. Enjoy your vacation, Tim, you won’t be seeing hummingbirds again for a long time.

The United States demanded Tuesday that Iran end any support for extremists in Iraq “at once” and raised the specter of a “nuclear holocaust” in the Middle East if Tehran gets atomic weapons.
US President George W. Bush branded the Islamic Republic “the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism,” citing its backing of Hamas, Hezbollah, Palestinian Islamic Jihad and Shiite fighters killing US troops in Iraq.
“And Iran’s active pursuit of technology that could lead to nuclear weapons threatens to put a region already known for instability and violence under the shadow of a nuclear holocaust,” he told the American Legion veterans group. “Iran’s actions threaten the security of nations everywhere, and the United States is rallying friends and allies to isolate Iran’s regime, to impose economic sanctions. We will confront this danger before it is too late,” he said.
With the surge of additional U.S. troops now widely viewed as having some tactical success, Bush accused critics of constantly moving the goal post.
The Onion is out of a job.

Katie Couric is going to Iraq and Syria.
Get ready for the right-wing fun-and-games (read: hysteria) over this one today.
It will either be “Tirkuk Katie, the Middle East’s Jane Fonda”; or it will be “well, she’s not REALLY going into the war zone because she will have military escorts and armed guards around her 24/7, and besides, al Qaeda wouldn’t harm an ally (nudge-nudge, wink-wink), or this is all a dog-and-pony show to discredit our president and the commanding generals in the field, or she’s just going to hide in a hotel lobby in the green zone because she’s a typical lazy coward of a liberal drive-by media journalist and wouldn’t deign to mingle with riff-raff like our fighting heroes, or blahblahblah…”
Drudge is already having fun with it as his headline(s):

I’m intrigued by the iPod theory, even though I doubt a 62-year-old white guy from Idaho rocks out to music in the men’s room.
Maybe he reached his hand under the stall so he could bust out a Turbo-to-Ozone electricity-style breakdancing move?
