Other Republicans stopped short of calling on Mr. Craig to give up his seat, but they were clearly dismayed that he would stay in office, citing the distraction his presence could provide as well as the potential harm to the party and the Senate.

“I can’t think of anything good about it,” said Senator Saxby Chambliss, Republican of Georgia.

“You don’t want to know what I really feel,” said Senator Jim DeMint, Republican of South Carolina.

Mr. Craig had his defenders among the Republicans, including Senators Michael Crapo, also of Idaho, and Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania, both of whom said Mr. Craig was within his rights to remain and try to clear his name. “Senator Craig is entitled to make his decision and I respect it,” Mr. Specter said. “Disorderly conduct is not moral turpitude and it is no basis for leaving the Senate.”

I mean look at some of the shit RepubliKlans have been doing. This is small stuff.

sucking on strangers penises in restrooms is acceptable behavior for a United States Senator.

"GO FUCK YOURSELF" On the Senate floor uttered by Dick Chaney.

Thank God for the moral direction the repukes have bestowed on our great Nation. We are better for their example.

Fascists GD fascists!

No sexual activity took place. There was no indecent exposure. The only touching that took place was via two shoes. How is this flirtation in a public restroom stall any worse than some letch trying to pick up a woman in a bar?

Quite often the guy comes on to the woman, touches her, makes suggestive remarks, etc. Do you see the police coming in to haul the guy off to jail? No. The poor woman has to defend herself, which most are pretty adept at these days. Or, friends come to her rescue and tell the guy to bug off.

Nothing was spoken about having sex, no money exchanged hands, no dollar amount was mentioned. So the guy is pathetic because he's a closet case and can't deal with who he really is. I just don't see the big deal here, other than the guy is a huge hypocrit, which is typical of the GOP.

Am I missing something else? :shrug:

They dropped the "interference with privacy" charge when he plead guilty to the "disorderly conduct" charge... It is against the law to peer through a crack in a restroom stall for two minutes while somebody is on the crapper, presumably doing his or her business...

taste in decorum isn't. He should stay and take the heat from his colleagues and constituents as his penance.

I guess the Repuke hypocrites can put up with an outed "notgay" in their Congressional cloakrooms.

It's almost as if he wants the gop to suffer.

Craig's crime and conviction were for a misdemeanor. If a conviction for a misdemeanor were cause for expulsion from the Senate we would probably have a lot fewer Senators.

but seems his hormones anted up that day.



.....“The defendant, a career politician with a college education, is of, at least, above-average intelligence,” Judge Porter wrote in a ruling issued earlier this afternoon. “He knew what he was saying, reading and signing.”

Actually Senator we do. Enlighten us. Might as well use this sordid episode to expose all the gay phobes out there.

My guess is he is repulsed more by the fact that the good Senator enjoys a little gay sex now and then then by the fact then by the fact that he was trying to do it in a public restroom.

...I'm wondering if ole Arlen his been spending time on Perv-O's yacht....???
