1982 Larry Craig denial, 1982: Updated
(h/t Scarce)
Craig: By choice or by circumstance I've always been the subject of innuendos, gossip and false accusations. I think this is despicable.
"In an ABC News report, then US House Rep. Larry Craig issues a preemptive denial regarding any involvement in a congressional sex and drug scandal."
Howie and Pam have more...Update: He resigned from Romney's campaign.
Matt Ortega: "Did Romney Scrub YouTube of Larry Craig?"
Deny frist!
hey, ABC's Frank Reynolds! blast from the past...
the republicans - a quarter of a century of page boy molestin'
John you might want to think twice about leaving that video up.
It may be a can of worms.
Keep in mind. Craig is the breed of cat that has stampeded congressional democrats for decades.
Remember this?

That was actually on the front page of the Moonie Times?! Something ain't right there.
where theres smoke..........
Blue Buddha @ 7:
It was a witch hunter started by the moonie times.
Hey, where was Larry Craig when those homosexual tours were going on in the White House in the 80's?
Holy shit! The guy's not even named and he issues a public denial!! Guilty, much would you say?

Did he say that he didn't like being the subject of "inuendo"
LOL
Poor Mitt Romney -- he can't help but pick pervs to work for him.
When the Republicans have a meeting, they say, "Raise your hand if you HAVEN'T: FUCKED AND/OR BLEW A HOMO, DID QUESTIONABLE THINGS IN PUBLIC RESTROOMS, FUCKED ANY YOUNG PAGES, HAD GAY RELATIONS ON METH, SOLICITED COPS AT REST STOPS, WERE ON THE DC MADAM'S LIST, CORNHOLED YOUR WIFE WHILE SHE WAS SLEEPING, IS A CLOSET GAY MAKING ANTI-GAY LEGISLATION..........CAN I SEE SOME HANDS PLEASE?????????"
Was that Roger Mudd? Wow. I remember when there was real news on the airwaves. How far news has fallen.
It's obvious that he is a repeat offender. What kind of right wingers keep re-electing these guys?
gene214 @ 11:
Used to be a saying in Texas back when I grew up: "The Guilty dogs barks first."
...or engaged in "Fristing"...
That's Frank Reynolds, not Roger Mudd. Frank died young like all ABC anchors.
Line from future history textbook: "At the start of the 21st century, the Republican Party disappeared into a cubicle in a public restroom and was never seen again."
i was gonna email this, but i couldnt find the address. this is regarding dennis kucinich and the abc debate. dont know if a lot of people have seen this yet. outraged!
CD,
Uh, I don't think so. The The Franklin Child Sex Ring was and remains a huge scandal. Do some research.
LibertyLover @ 18:
Never mind, I think another commenter said it was Frank Reynolds... Still a powerful newsman...
e. @ 25:
Uh your wrong King only paid because he failed to show up for court.
Do some research.
Biggus Diggus @ 22:
Thanks for the correction...
LibertyLover @ 18:
Yup - me too.
I knew there would be more about this guy! You don't just start giving BJs in public bathrooms as a senior citizen! Another issue those videos raised. What are those lousy bastard congressmen's public positions on say, marijuana legalization - you know, the other 9 unnamed pervs who were using dope to seduce pages. BTW, I wonder if a FOIA request would pry loose the info on who was involved in that particular scandal.
I'm reminded of the classic Southpark episode "Death Camp of Tolerance"
(I paraphrase)
Randy Marsh: "Boys, there's a huge difference between gay people and Mr Garrison."
My mother always told us kids that soone or later "your sins will find you out." Larry Craig just got found out by his sin of hypocrisy.
The Romney vid at YouTube was first made "private" and then within the last hour deleted altogether. Way to go Mitt.
I would bottom for him... I'll be he's a hot top.
Uh, that's ok CD. You can just watch this and then give your commentary. It plainly speaks for itself.

Sorry for the repeat but my comment didn't appear correctly.
On Tuesday May 3rd 1994 this program was scheduled to air on the Discovery Channel.
Influential members of congress applied pressure to the cable industry to stop the airing of the program and destroy ALL COPIES.
It was already listed nation-wide in the April 30th-May 6th edition of TV Guide and newspaper supplements.
The Discovery Channel and Yorkshire Television were reimbursed for the 1/4 to 1/2 MILLION dollar production cost.

Slocum @ 32:
What Romney vid? And what did it say?
e. @ 34:
It's on film it must be true!!!
That kind of thinking is how you-know-who got people to believe the crap in Triumph of the Will.
Now dear, sweet CD, give me a freakin' break. That argument you're setting forth is a straw man deal. It can go lots of ways. Why don't you watch it and then say something relevent?
Now dear, sweet e., give me a freakin’ break. That argument I put forth is solid. Now why don't you run along and get back to reading forteantimes?
CD, you are putting forth a bunch of bullshit on this thread because I guess that's what you do best from time to time with your status as moderate Republican. You've posted for so many years that there is a lot to say about the good things you try to inject but when you try and obfuscate something factual that actually happened...er..well, that's when you get rather annoying. Are you saying the Discovery channel is somehow compromised and not on the up and up?
Watch the Discovery channel link I provided or stfu. And with that, I bid you adieu.
Not that there's anything wrong with being homosexual but why are all the GOPgays in the closet? And not just in the closet but pretending to be the OPPOSITE of homosexual?
This is sick stuff.
e. @ 40:
"status as moderate Republican"?
What have you been snorting?
From Foley to Craig, these red state family values hypocrites just can't seem to keep their d##ks in their pants when it comes to underage boys. We need a "To Catch a Preditor" to film a set up on the GOP side of the aisle in congress.
Why doesn't he do the Gonzo?
"I don't recall"
The GOP "family values" crowd http://www.imdb.com/gallery/ss/0093773/024543037798_z_predicau.jpg.html?...
Yesssss, itssss, jusssst desssssspicable, issssn't it?
It's pretty obvious why Congress doesn't change the age of consent in D.C.
C'mon now! Larry is a good Mormon boy! lol
sense when is something wrong with a little sex and drugs?
All the disgraced GOP homosexuals ( Foley, Haggard, that guy in Orlando who played pickup at a public park and now Craig) should form a rightwing queer think tank to advise any future wingnut closet gays on how to beat the rap when they've been caught with their pants down and a hand in the meat locker.
Personally, as a life long Democrat I take no joy in seeing these closeted pervs exposed for the homosexual hypocrites that they really are...
On second thought, I do enjoy it. A lot.
td @ 49:
Nothing wrong with it if you are not hypocritical about it. "Do as I say, not as I do" just doesn't cut it.
CD @ 9:
How about looking at it like this: the moonie times chose to publish something so damning to the Repugs that it stood out as a MUST DO because...why?
the Skoal chewing repub base loves being lied to. They'll fall for any "culture war" campaign every 2 to 6 novembers
graham @ 24:
nice thread jack. (and give me a break on this 'outrage'....outraged at what some crappy spliced together bit of "dennis would win if he only got a fair shake from the MSM". For all you know ABC saw unusual behavior in who was filling out their little online survey that you're so outraged about. c'mon man, get serious, and do something productive with your activism.

Here's another good link...almost a year ago this guy is directly outing Larry.
Airport Restroom Arrest Stalls Senator Larry Craig’s Career
Senator Larry Craig (R-Idaho) is now the latest lawmaker to get snarled in an unpretty sex-related scandal — one that is being broadcast on the airwaves, making the lightning rounds of the Internet, being pointed to by Democrats and causing const...
LibertyLover, you have given me reason to feel better about the Lone Star state.
I'm both titillated and dismayed at the thought of potential revelations from another Madame's Little Black Book. Heidi F.'s was all about La-La Land, but to think this could blow open the BELT-LESS WAY.
I jus' cain't help m'self.
Isome @ 31:
Those in glass stalls shouldn't throw stones! Indeed! The hypocrisy and cover ups with these Republicans never end.
The Craig bust can only boost our friend Al Franken's campaign. We over here at LOSING THE WAR ON HUMOR are wondering if the media up there in Minnesota have been tailing Norm Coleman's airport bathroom habits. Just wondering.
Certainly, no one can accuse the Republicans of not having their shit together when it comes to amassing a voting bloc of hypocrites—especially the anti-gay gay, repressed voters and Congressmen.
Read Al's on target comments in this Scarborough interview:

Why is it always a republican? The party of higher values and chickenhawks!

I don't think that it is "always" repubs, but I do think that since libs are just a wee bit more tolerant...and tend to wear our perversions on our sleeves, so to speak, that we don't get caught with our pants down as much...

I thought it was a great touch when Craig called a press confrence (1982)because he was afraid he was named as one of the page stalking Pervs. Now, why would an innocent man do that? Hmmmmmmmmm?
Now, after pleading guilty, he has the nerve to deny it all because the cop didn't actually go so far as to let Craig blow him.
I can't figure out why I loathe Repugs.
If there is an ex-page that can pin him.....go ahead!
Great post on MSNBC about this by none other than conservative Joe Scarborough! Sorry, not sure how to post the link...
Re Matt Ortega's piece: sorry, but that's just a bunch of baloney. The screenshot he posted and the link refers to a previously private video of a user that isn't Romney's campaign.
Just use http://www.google.com/search?q=%22Larry+Craig%22+GovMittRomney and the first hit is the video Romney scrubbed from google: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulp21rOFxKA

Does anyone remember the Del Shannon hit "Hats off to Larry". With all due respect to the deceased Mr. Shannon and his song..... the Washington gossip line has been running ripe with the following.
The Singing Senators ( John "The John" Ashcroft.. Missouri, Trent "The Toilet" Lott.. Mississippi, Larry "Lavatory" Craig..Idaho, Jim "Switch"Jeffords..Vermont) are going to reunite their 90s group. It is rumored they have a hot new single and will play their first gig in Washinton D.C at Union Station. Which bathroom they will perform in is unknown until the actual performance date is announced. Following this opening appearance the group will fly to Minnesota and perform at the Mpls. St.Paul International Airport. Again the exact restroom is not known at this time. However we have on good authority obtained the name of their "hot" new single. It was written and composed by lead singer Larry "aka TAP TAP" Craig and is called "Pants off for Larry". See you all in the privy.
I read the arrest report. What's the significance of the wedding ring?
The Gladly Oral Party?
.
Well...if'n he aint gay, I reckon the good senator won’t be forgetting his RLS (restless leg syndrome...tap tap...) meds on future poli-junkets.
re: Larry Craig Senator R-Idaho False Arrest in Minnesota potty.
Lol in Minnseota. I am quite glad that the Minn. police released the tape of Craig in the arrest. I now know something that makes me sure Craig can not only beat this case, was innocent of the charges and can get the law itself repealed. I had "assumed" that Craigs left hand had moved under the LEFT stall (the hand is a signal according to PD in Minn. that some sore of homosexual stuff is about to occur or something vague) ... LOL, but it was the officer himself who scuttles his case by forgetting which side he was on and stating on TAPE that it was (FOR SURE BY WEDDING RING SIGHTING) Craig's LEFT HAND--. Too dam funny! I actrually went down to a public bathroom (NOT TAPPING MY FOOT AT ALL IN FEAR OF BASHING_ARREST tee-hee) I sat on can, pulled jeans down, and attempted to reach left to right hand UP (see report) under the much lower stall opening. I was upside down! And Craig is a BIG fella--well over 6 foot.
Craig got entrapped and the cop tried to pressure him into pleading--and Craig fell for it cause to plead innocent would require him to get just as bashed here in Idaho with a gay jacket on him. He's inncocent of the charge--and time will tell if he's guilty of closeting-- that is against the law right? OH WAIT, it aint a crime to be gay! Hmm. So, Craig is tried now in the press for 'What?"
Shades of McCarthyism! "Are u now--or have u ever been---a member of the Communist (er..gay) Party"
thanks for the listen:
