larry-craig-statement.jpg Republican Sen. Larry Craig speaks...He was harassed by Idaho and caved to the pressure...What did Nixon say again?

Craig: I am not gay!

He denies any wrong doing...Pleading guilty was all a big misunderstanding. He just overreacted. Sorry Larry, nobody pleads guilty to this type of charge if they are innocent. He tried to sweep it under the carpet and got caught. He's getting new legal counsel. And he ran away---answering no questions. Wanker.

Glenn Greenwald has a great story about about the Right Wing nutosphere's attack response to Mike Rogers and Larry Craig the last few years. (Craig's statement below the fold)

Link: "First, please let me apologize to my family, friends, staff, and fellow Idahoans for the cloud placed over Idaho. I did nothing wrong at the Minneapolis airport. I regret my decision to plead guilty and the sadness that decision has brought to my wife, family, friends, staff, and fellow Idahoans. For that I apologize.

"In June, I overreacted and made a poor decision. While I was not involved in any inappropriate conduct at the Minneapolis airport or anywhere else, I chose to plead guilty to a lesser charge in the hope of making it go away. I did not seek any counsel, either from an attorney, staff, friends, or family. That was a mistake, and I deeply regret it. Because of that, I have now retained counsel and I am asking my counsel to review this matter and to advise me on how to proceed.

"For a moment, I want to put my state of mind into context on June 11. For 8 months leading up to June, my family and I had been relentlessly and viciously harassed by the Idaho Statesman. If you’ve seen today’s paper, you know why. Let me be clear: I am not gay and never have been.

"Still, without a shred of truth or evidence to the contrary, the Statesman has engaged in this witch hunt. In pleading guilty, I overreacted in Minneapolis, because of the stress of the Idaho Statesman’s investigation and the rumors it has fueled around Idaho. Again, that overreaction was a mistake, and I apologize for my misjudgment. Furthermore, I should not have kept this arrest to myself, and should have told my family and friends about it. I wasn’t eager to share this failure, but I should have done so anyway.

"I love my wife, family, friends, staff, and Idaho. I love serving Idaho in Congress. Over the years, I have accomplished a lot for Idaho, and I hope Idahoans will allow me to continue to do that. There are still goals I would like to accomplish, and I believe I can still be an effective leader for Idaho. Next month, I will announce, as planned, whether or not I will seek reelection.

"As an elected official, I fully realize that my life is open for public criticism and scrutiny, and I take full responsibility for the mistake in judgment I made in attempting to handle this matter myself.

"It is clear, though, that through my actions I have brought a cloud over Idaho. For that, I ask the people of Idaho for their forgiveness.

"As I mentioned earlier, I have now retained counsel to examine this matter and I will make no further comment."

Oh yes he is and not only that he's filthy screwing gay.

Craig: "I am not gay! But, I am a queer pervert!"

Bah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ... not gay

How does Idaho get a new Senator if one is needed? I ask because this guy is all but gone; he'll resign before the end of the year (at least I'd bet even money he does).

If he were only a wanker, he'da been betta off.

What a freaking maroon! Does he really think his guilty plea is going to be re-opened? If so, it will be the first time ever without claiming he was on dope or someone had a sniper-rifle trained on him. SHEESH

I'll repost this from the other thread:

This morning on faux radio, brian "let's torture everyone" kilmeade was actually defending Larry Craig (R) to a caller by saying, “what’s the big deal, he sits with a wide stance”. Jebus, reich-wingers have zero shame.

His first line...Thank you very much for coming out today. Bwaaaa.. I laughed out loud. That is perfect.

% of people who are going to believe his lies=10%

The rest of us know we just got lied to.

He thanked everyone for "coming out." (hee, hee.)

No. You're just a perv

CD @ 9:

I'd say around 25%.

Did he just start the conference by saying "thanks for coming out today"

What's behind the right's different response to David Vitter's call girls and Larry Craig's boy trouble? In a nutshell, the boys.

As the old expression goes, you are what you eat. And that imagery, apparently, is behind the growing conservative chorus calling for Craig's resignation.

For the details, see:

i am not gay, but i am a liar.

Hey hey now people just because he likes to suck penis does not make him gay it makes him a repub.

And another in the long line of repug hypocrites.

Jebus, he's actually playing the victim in that clip:

Closet homosexual. Check
Plays the victim. Check
Attacks the media. Check
Mentions God. Check

Yeah, he's a typically lowlife scumbag reich-winger.

Let's see... MICE: Money, Ideology, Compromise, Ego... aha, compromise!

Who was blackmailing Senator Craig?

Perhaps there were some black men around and he was afraid of becoming a statistic?

I agree. But, there are still 33% of the American's that support herr dubyah, so, anything is possible. Faux will no doubt be playing damage control for Craig tonight.

"Thank you all very much for coming out today."

Nice start!

He's already gone, he just doesn't realize it yet.

The story of his arrest was leaked last week by a republican. The hit was in for this guy because they didn't want a repeat of Mark Foley in 08.

yadda yadda yadda...I'm not gay...yadda yadda yadda...I did nothing wrong...yadda yadda yadda

But I pled guilty.

Of course! Now he's lying to be thoroughly republican.

So for the Republicans, thinking that Democratic Harold Ford likes adult women is so awful yet knowing Republican Larry Craig likes anonymous gay sex in bathrooms is okay?

He sure puts the "ho" in Idaho. HAHAHAHAHAHA

Now we all watch court shows and know you don't plea guilty if you ain't. The judge will ask the accused something like, do you understand what you are pleading guilty to.

Another lying closet repug. If he is so concern about his constituents he would have answered question and not do a chimpy/loveboy thing and scurry away.

Watch the video carefully; at the :40 mark, he taps the male reporter to his right on the foot with his foot.

Strictly speaking if one engages in sex acts with both men and women voluntarily, one is bi-sexual - not homosexual, nor heterosexual. Sort a mild distinction, but an accurate one.

So he is admitting that when he plead guilty he KNEW he was not guilty of what he he plead to. Whether or not he was confused, it seems a clear cut case of perjury and contempt to me.

He needs to be thrown out of the senate, but if he was smart he would resign and go into hiding like Foley did. But imagine if he had gotten head from a female stripper or something. No one would care. It shows there is still an anti gay bias in the media. Granted - it's also a big deal because it shows him being a hypocrite.

What is up with these conservatives all being in the closet? Oh, I know - Freud called it "reaction formation" whereas you get anxiety about something you feel or believe and thus take the exact opposite positions and basically try to be the exact opposite of what you are. So if you are a homosexual you go on TV and really go overboard in your hatred of gays - you vote against gay rights and all that.

Now if Republicans are smart they will push him out of the senate and make a show about it. The governor of Idaho is a Republican and will be able to appoint some right wing tool anyway, so they got nothing to loose. The PR could actually be positive for the Republicans if they handle this right and join with dems for his ouster.

It's amazing though that this took so long to get out, but he will not be in the senate for long!

FilthyHarry @ 32:

So he is admitting that when he plead guilty he KNEW he was not guilty of what he he plead to. Whether or not he was confused, it seems a clear cut case of perjury and contempt to me.

If actually didn't know what he was pleading guilty to, then he is clearly NOT capable of being a law maker for this country.

He's absolutely right, there is nothing inappropriate about sucking men off in an airport bathroom.

Did he offer the cop $20? Or was he just looking for a simple massage?

Wait a minute! He did not even tell his wife he was arrested? He went to court and paid a fine without telling her? What kind of a lying jerk does that? What lie did he tell everyone when he went to court? Golfing? What lie did he tell about the fine he paid? Golf clubs?

G U I L T Y

No Senator... thank YOU for coming out today.

This is just another Rethug. to join the long line of lying, sick perverts and bathroom stalking creeps, denying they are prostituting themselves with men.

I think he needs to spend more time with his family...

Yeah but of them I'm betting that 23% would rather die than support anyone who has so much as been accused of being da GAY!

he still doesn't get it - he was not convicted of being gay... that in itself is only a crime in the "family values" crowd. somebody clue the man in, please!

If he doesn't want to admit he's gay, it's his right. He can't hide that he's an idiot, though.

Are you sure this isn't Clinton's fault, Larry?

Chris @ 35:

He's not gay and that was just a potato in his pants.

Sure you're not gay, Larry, sure....

What an asshole!

What about "fruity", Senator? Are you "fruity"? Are you "she-she"? Are you "that way"? Aren't you just a little "sophisticated"? Is there any truth to the rumors that you are "high strung"? What about "exciteable"? Are you "exciteable", Senator? Senator, you have been described as "flamboyant". Are you at all "flamboyant", Senator? What about a "flower shop"? Would you like to open a "flower shop", Senator?

I say it again: The Republicans are the Lemon Party.

"Thank you all for coming out today." Hahaha. What a maroon.

That cloud over Idaho he kept talking about - would that be a big pink cloud with leather chaps, a dog collar and nipple rings?

I personally always had my suspicions about Brian Kilmeade...besides, like any other Fox news hack, lord knows what he had to put in his mouth to get the job in the first place!!!!

Good thing the arresting officer was not a large African-American, otherwise Craig would have been down on both knees quicker than you can say "Florida State Rep. Bob Allen."

You're not? Then tell us Larry, just what the hell are you then?

Hey, isn't he innocent until proven guil...oh, right.

Boring Scott @ 53:

"I am not gay and never have been."

This would make a great t-shirt.

Are there any republicans who aren't gay? How do they reproduce?
Its weird because I know they've been around since the Mayflower(What a gay name for a boat)

A gay caller to the Randi Rhodes show gave a detailed explanation of what all the alleged behaviors by the senator meant.

The audio is archived here http://www.whiterosesociety.org/Rhodes.html and will be up I'm sure later.

Someone should extract that explanation and post it for posterity.

You know if Bush was a normal person he should just hate seeing the news every morning considering all of his party members but oblivious Bush probably has to have someone tell him to be pissed at them. Am I the only one who thinks that Bush's nightly brainwashing tapes are really starting to age him?

Too bad for Larry that this happened in Minnesota and not Newark or ... he can't really use the "I solicited gay sex in a public bathroom because I was afraid of the black people" excuse.

Craig defining gay-

How do you know when someone is gay?

When his dick tastes like shit.

Is it a misunderstanding when a man peaks thru a bathroom stall to look at another man, touches this man's foot in the adjoining stall, put his hand under the adjoining stall, taps his foot to send a message?
Why out of all the bathrooms in the Minneapolis airport was he at this specific bathroom?
Did his plane de-board at the adjoining gate?
Why didn't he take any questions from reporters?
It is a pathetic to think he holds one of the highest elected offices in the U.S. !!

He's not gay, but the guy whose dick he sucked is a big homo.

If the repubs weren't so mean and such liars, they really would be very entertaining.

Nobody ever said he was GAY . They just said he wanted to get it on in a filthy toilet with men. With all those international flights and all I can't and don't want to imagine the rot he could have got on his dick, like those flesh eating infections a few years back, GGAAAAAHHHH. But I hear his wife is cool with it so... drop it. Actually I think Vitter's wife's Bobbit reference probably popped into Craig's wife's head too.

The most anguished shoes to be in are the spouse's, walking up to the podium and standing by your mate with a neutral look on yer face. Gaack!

Fixed for accuracy.

What next? I'm guessing some old boyfriend will come out of the network and say that Craig is a queer as a 3-dollar bill.

:o)

The real question is if the neo nazi malitia folk in Idahoo are going to fall for this shit. Are they going to put up or shut up?

You listen to me Craig you are so GAY, GAY, GAY, GAY...you make Richard Simmons look straight... come on get out of the closet move to West Hollywood and join the parade... all you need now is for someone to feed you some meat and make you squeal. JCB

Keep protesting Craig. He who doth protest too much. He's a closet gay who's a hypocrite, that's clear.

Gay gay totally gay!!

By all means Larry, keep dragging this story out. I'm sure your GOP buddies are just loving all this. I'm going to enjoy seeing this story get played out on a daily basis. Couldn't happen to a nicer group.

Once again, the party that insists on telling you how to act in the bedroom, gets blind-sided by one of their own.

Hahahahahhaahaha.

From watching the video of him from the 70's denying his gayness back then, this guy must have a miserable life. His spouse is a beard, because he was gay lifestyling before his marriage.

I'm beginning to wonder if the GOP doesn't already know about the peccadillos of all of it's members (no pun intended) and uses that info to keep the republican'ts in check or voting the way they need to vote as a party. See Tom "the hammer" Delay.

It's always been true that the repubs have always been more organized (and the Dems are like herding cats...) -- now perhaps we know now why that is... "we'll protect you as long as you vote in favor of......fill in the blank."

Maybe warrantless wiretapping is not necessarily to spy on Democratic plans for elections (ala the plumbers of Watergate with computer access) -- although that could be a big bonus, but maybe the illegal wiretapping is also used to keep their own party in line? Hmmm. Food for thought. What a laugh that would be that the repubs are giving up all of our civil liberties and getting their foot caught in the door as well...

If you would be so kind to pass the popcorn....

I'm sure he'll be making a trip to Iraq to claim the "surge is working" (tm).

Larry Craig has yet to produce kids.

Bisexuals are almost always able to procreate.

Larry Craig and Ted Haggard's love for their family wasn't enough to immune them from their lust of another mans pecker

Unfortunately, Craig did not explain at his press conference why, after being confronted by the police officer in Minneapolis, he gave the policeman a card which read United States Senate and then said to the police officer: "What do you think about that"? The problem with Craig's statement is that he did not simply plead no contest, he pled guilty, which of course acknowledges the wrongfulness of his act. Also, one has to stand in awe at how his wife did such a good job at coming across as a Stepford Wife.

At the beginning of his press announcement, Senator Craig thanked everyone for "coming out today" and then he didn't.

Todays statement from the Good Senator is most telling.
He must be congratulated for the best parsing of words,
since Bill Clinton "did not have sexual relations with that
Women, Ms Lewinski". Sen Craig stated over and over
ad nausea, that he has never ever ever been gay, But
that isn't the issue. The real issue, Are you Bisexual?
That issue he stayed away from like the plague.

He parsed his words very carefully to avoid any hint that
he lied, in future. I believe him when he said he is not Gay.
But I also believe he is Bisexual. And that, he was very
careful not to go near. How long until the pundits on both
sides of the isle pick up on this little fact? We shall see.
But thats where the linchpin lays. As usual with republicans,
he didn't lie, he just sidestepped the truth. Typical.

That is an interesting question, was he killing time before departure / arrival or just lurking in a known "hangout"?

A little truth slipped out at the end of the press conference - "I'm sure this is an issue that is not yet over." Hmmm, which issue is he referring to . . . his GAYNESS???

ROTFLMAO :-)
another hypocrite bites the dust...
maybe it's time for conservative-minded, family-values-pronouncing types to accept the simple fact that the only way to stop this kind of hypocrisy from re-occurring is to actually deal with the issue of homophobia... so he's gay... big deal... not that there's anything wrong with that... far too many people fixate on their imaginings of others' activities they shudder over... (personally, i don't care to imagine how others might engage in sexual acts, whether they be "straight" or "gay"... and i think such fixations are only hallmarks of psychological dysfunction)

if he (and society) had been able to accept his own reality in the first place, then he would not have sought "indiscretionary relief" and would not have become the laughing stock he currently is... and more importantly, he would not have hurt other people in the process...

lol... paranoia is as paranoia does :-)

The gay panic in this thread is kinda sad and more befitting freerepublic than a progressive leftwing site. Anyway, Craig's a hypocrite who has tried to pass anti-gay legislation while engaging in the very thing he condemns. For that alone he should pay for everyone else he's made suffer because of his self-loathing and psychological flaws.

I have a dream. In my dream the whole republican caucus gets outed one by one. There they stand looking longingly at each other whispering "You too? If only I'd known."

Looking over his committee assignments, he served on the Appropiations Committee's Subcommittee on Energy and Water Development and Subcommittee on Homeland Security, as well as on the Energy and Natural Resources Committee's Subcommittee on Energy. The DoE oversight seems more significant than the DHS oversight in terms of access to classified information.

Has a foreign power been blackmailing him for the past 40 years, since the congressional page scandal?

Come on Craig,, You could join the Gay Republican Senators Chorale if you'd only come out. Jump in. The hot tub is fine. Just let me get out first, you freakoid. I have my standards..

This guy is so gay.

There's no such thing as being bisexual. If craig is screwing men then he is gay. His wife is only a cover.

Nice try Mary.

Still, without a shred of truth or evidence to the contrary

Soooooo... the arrest report for a crime he pleaded guilty to is NOT evidence?

Uhhh... that's not true. I'm not married. Don't have anything to cover up since I live in very liberal Massachusettes. I'm bisexual and can tell you with 100% confidence that I'm sexually interested in attractive members of both sexes. You have no idea what you're talking about and display your ignorance through your comments.

"cough...cough...homo...cough...cough."

So was Craig present during Jeff Gannon's White House sleepovers? Was it Gannon who taught Craig the various signals?

Why aren't we getting these people under oath to tell all about their perversions like was done to Clinton? The Repugs set the precedent, that personal behavior is fair game, so they should have to suffer for their immorality.

Bisexual men have the same sperm count as heterosexual men.

Dosen't he realize the officer will be testifying about what happened in the bathroom?

Big deal. He's a closet gay.

And Vanessa Williams is a closet lesbian?

There are bisexual people out there, ya know. And Craig didn't even mention the word. He stayed a mile away from it. And he kept sayin' "gay"- homosexual was the inference. So I'll take his words at face value. He doesn't have sex with men only.

Now I'm not sayin' Craig's bein' forthcomin'- far from it. Admittin' bisexuality would be just as bad fer his political career.

Well Clinton said he didn't really smoke pot because he did not inhale, so maybe Craig could say he isn't really a queer if he doesn't swallow.

But really, Craig wasn't really doing anything wrong,,,,, he was just trying to get his shit packed before the flight.

at 4:49 as he is walking away one reporter can be heard asking...

"Hey- What if you were gay?"

haah

The idea that a sitting U.S. Senator would plead guilty to a charge that might destroy his reputation and career because he felt "harassed" and "pressured" is ludicrous. He's guilty, and he's very gay. Not that there's anything wrong with that, except for that whole hypocrisy thing, of course.

uhh ok larry so you're telling us you're just a sick perverted ass pirate then correct?

Why was he at the airport in the first place?

Bisexual men have the same sperm count as heterosexual men.

Still takes two to tango, if ya follow. Or did I miss that episode of Nova?

Do Craig and his wife want to have kids? Is he sterile? Is she infertile?

Ya do know that she had three kids from her first marriage, right? I'm not sure how old she is, or when the Craigs married, but age does have a bit to do with it sometimes.

There's no such thing as being bisexual. If craig is screwing men then he is gay. His wife is only a cover.

Uhhh... that's not true. I'm not married. Don't have anything to cover up since I live in very liberal Massachusettes. I'm bisexual and can tell you with 100% confidence that I'm sexually interested in attractive members of both sexes. You have no idea what you're talking about and display your ignorance through your comments.

Bull crap, If you suck dick your gay.

Why was he at the airport in the first place?

It's a big Northwest Airlines hub.

Notice that I said "almost always"? almost refers to those who are sterile or infertile.

BTW I think he married late in life I know she already had three kids by a previous marriage.

she sounds like a beard to me.

By that logic, if I fuck vagina does that mean I'm straight?

I think you my homophobic friend, would feel more at home on freerepublic or some other rightwing hate-mongering site.

Does anybody remember the movie Bachelor Party? I keep thinking of the mother, after the prank played on her at the strip club and her encounter with Nick The Dick, all dreamy eyed and stunned:
"I had a strange weiner right in my palm...."

LOL

Oh, poor Mr Craig...I would have sympathy for the inner pain you have had to push down on your life in denying who you really are if you didn't spend so much time villifying homosexuals.

And some people might say that if ya capitalize a word in the middle of a sentence, and that word isn't a proper noun, you're kinda dumb. They might say it, too, if you use a second person possessive adjective rather than a contraction. ;)

What don't you get about bisexuality?

I'm beginning to wonder if the GOP doesn't already know about the peccadillos of all of it's members (no pun intended) and uses that info to keep the republican'ts in check or voting the way they need to vote as a party. See Tom "the hammer" Delay.

Could well be. Just like J. Edgar Hoover back in the bad old days.

Give Me Convenience @ 31:

Strictly speaking if one engages in sex acts with both men and women voluntarily, one is bi-sexual - not homosexual, nor heterosexual. Sort a mild distinction, but an accurate one.

Wow, it took 31 posts fer someone to figure that out! Way to go, GMC!

What if (hypothetical situation) you got married and engaged in sex for the sole purpose of being able to use your wife and kids as evidence of heterosexuality in case you were caught in homosexual behavior?

Jesus did the site monitor fall asleep? Don't you screen out comments when they get down to the 4th grade level?

The point isn't if he's gay or not. The point is he made did a very gross thing by propositioning a total stranger in a bathroom stall. If he had done the same thing to a female, approaching her while he's on the toilet with her pants around her ankles, it would be just as bad.

I don't know about anyone else, but if I was trying to relieve myself and someone started doing something like that, I'd be telling that person to STFU and back the fuck off or they'll be facing a physical confrontation. That's not a homophobic reaction, that is a "I am not going to be sexually assaulted by you" reaction.

Thanks, Andy. I'm kinda stunned by the number of intolerant and ignorant comments in this thread. It seems threads about gay scandals always brings out the trolls and homophobes on this site.

HypotheticalRealJournalist @ 122:

Why was he at the airport in the first place?

1) Catch a plane.

2) Suck cock.

Am wondering why Craig, on three(3) occassions during his speech, referred to a
"cloud over Idaho and the Idahoians". HE did the crime, was caught and is paying
the penalty, NOT the citizens of Idaho. The only mistake(not a crime) they committed
was electing him as their U.S. Senator.

"I'm not gay, but apparently the guy whose wang I just sucked is...pervert!"

That's right, blame the messenger you weasel.
It must suck to be your wife (pun intended).

Yeah, this bisexuality conversation is likely a dead end. The crime is just what you pointed out: lewd public behavior. The REAL issue that I imagine everyone is keying on is this man's rampant hard-on....HYPOCRISY! I meant hypocrisy!!!
:)

Anyway, the man has spent a lot of time, along with the rest of the GOP, telling all of us about the evils of homosexuality. I feel bad for him as a person, but find him repulsive as a politician with responsibilities to his state. (I'm oversimplifying, but this is just a 30 second post)

So all bisexual men who aren't sterile have kids?

Admit it- progeny are no proof, and lack of progeny no disproof, of sexuality.

And she might well be a "beard". Then again, ugly as the image might be, they could have a great time together in the sack. Or the kitchen. Or the hot tub. Or the...

Until Mrs. Craig comes clean, all ya can do is speculate.

And, as Andrew has pointed out, the gay-baitin' is gettin' kind of bad. It's the hypocrisy, people, the HYPOCRISY!

He'll be in rehab before the week is out -- Mary from Idaho, cmon down...Ted Haggard in the SUV Redux

He talked about his "failure".....but if he didn't do anything wrong, how did he fail? Nah he's not gay; he just likes a little c**k now and then.....

Gay? Sure you're not.

I totally and completely agree....Some on this C&L thread need to get their minds out
of the gutter, take a deep breath and until you/we see the actual Police Report and
hear the spoken words of the officer involved, not be making what seems at times
to be inappropriate comments..not supported by evidence/facts.

Again dude you're over looking my use of the word "almost".

And seriously the mental image of old man ass is not pretty.

there's nothing wrong with being gay.

there's a world of wrong in:

a. marrying a women and having kids as a total lie to serve your own interests (which could well be the case)
b. screwing with strangers in a public bathroom... how insane are people who do this? are they LOOKING for disease? and why do it in a place where it qualifies as lewd conduct and disturbing the public (which is definitely the case)
c. being a republican and being gay. it's hypocritical to the extreme. (which is again the case)
