I do hope Congress enacts the ENDA with the gender identity amendment. It is still all-too-acceptable to discriminate against the transgendered in this country.

Moreover, with the way employment discrimination law works, without the amendment, an employer who wants to fire a gay employee could defend himself in court by arguing, "I wasn't firing him for his sexual orientation; I was firing him for perceived gender non-conformity. He can have sex with men on his own time. I won't fire him for that. But that limp wrist bothers me, and it's legal for me to fire him for that. After all, the gender identity amendment was left out of ENDA."

Read some of the case law if you think I'm exaggerating.

I just watched a very bad "gay"-themed movie on DVD from a couple of years ago...."Vacationland." It is very bad. But a few minutes into it, there is a men's room scene involving foot-tapping, shoe-touching and fingers (one with a wedding ring) under the stall partition. It is exactly the way the cop said Larry Craig did it. All of those talk shows could have saved themselves money by just showing this clip instead of staging their re-enactments of it.

Larry should be a spokesman for Restless Leg Syndrome!

If Larry Craig is not gay, I'm not an Average Joe!

It's not just American moralisers who get caught with their pants down.

Craig's explanations are pathetic and absurd. And yet there's a huge chunk of America that believes him, or at least I assume there is, given the typical conservative mentality. He was framed by the liberal media! He was entrapped by a cop! Blah blah blah.

You think that eventually they'd realize that you can't explain away reality with a series of lies. I guess we haven't hit that point yet.

Nasty bad boy indeed...I know it was tough coming out of the closet because I have; the first person I had to come out to was my wife. Shame on you Larry for being so gutless and dishonest. You are not fooling anyone but you are great poster boy for the Republicans who wish to consider themselves moralists in the land of the closets and stalls. Get down on your knees and pray, but we see who you God is! Get real, get help, get out of public life!

Larry Craig: "I am not gay. I have never been gay." I just plead guilty to soliciting anonymous SEX WITH OTHER MEN in a public restroom. After all, I have always maintained that gay men can NEVER be married, let me introduce you to my wife...

Brilliant work of media. And don't forget the Franklin Cover-Up...

Too bad we couldn't get a clip of that scene to post here... Maybe utilize it in a campaign commercial or endorsement of the Republican party in general.

Larry Craig is not gay, he's a straight-laced homosexual Republican hypocrite. And we don't "agree with the lifestyle" he leads either.

Preacher Boob's picture

Poor old nasty, bad, naughty Larry.

And he lies a lot. Washington tailors know the truth. Men's slacks/pants are normally fitted for them to 'dress left' (tuck their penises to the left).

But the whole Senate Republican Caucus is an exception. In a frenzy of party loyalty, and a burst of gay solidarity, some years ago all Rebublican senators agreed to 'dress right'.

The next time you see a male senator, look closely at his crotch. (Don't be embarrassed, they all do it, it's how they recognize each other).

You'll immediately be able to identify his party, and the sex he parties with.

Too much dick-swinging going on atop Capitol Hill, I should think. Certainly too much to, say, stop an illegal war.

That was really, really good. There was one throwaway in there but that's not bad. Overall this is good stuff.

Alright already. How about just for once, someone just admits what they did? How many hypocrites does it take to start WWIII? How many lies and abuses? Especially when controlling the mass media? Here is a freat piece on the Far right wing.... PART I: LOVE GODS OF THE FAR RIGHT WING, starring Larry Craig, Big Dick Cheney, Ann Coultergeist, and Bill O' Reilly. If the far right wing told the truth.... it would go something like this: http://www.blimptv.net/lovegods.html

Peace to all, stop discrimmination, seek the truth, shine on!

Of course Craig is pitiful but the body language comments about him and his wife were just so much orthodoxy..

And with the different guys who've come forward as trysts from his past, seems like one or two could describe the attributes about which his wife says only she knows..

But then at what point does the gutter slime us..

Speaker Pelosi (receiving HRC Award):

"In the previous Congress, we fought back cynical attempts to enshrine discrimination into the Constitution and defeated the Federal Marriage Amendment.

"In a Democratic Congress, unlike previous Congresses, malicious measures intended to divide the American people or to undermine the rights of the GLBT community are off the table."

Full speech: http://www.americablog.com/2007/10/pelosis-speech-at-hrc-dinner-tonight....

The whole reason why this bill is in front of Congress is Speaker Pelosi. And the House will probably pass it, though there is no reason to suspect such a bill (with the 'horrible' T attached) could pass the Senate under the current bootlicker bipartisan majority.

let me introduce you to my wife...

Here she is, Mistress, I mean, Mrs., Craig.

Nevermind the whip and chains.

I think the hand holding, and arm on shoulders would also be more than somewhat suspicious.

The lack of eye contact argument is weak because it would also be unnatural both in the way that they were sitting facing the interviewer and in a television interview context.

The overall eye movements and general demeanor do look fake though.

Craig should move to Iran, since they "do not have people like that in Iran", he would definately not be gay once he got there.

I just watched this a second time. Look at his...face...It makes me think of the old Roseanne Barr sitcom where in one episode she has to cross a picket line outside an abortion clinic and says to one of the pro-life protestors, "I can see why you're so bent out of shape- you look like a foetus..."

that sure brought a little sunshine into my gray day :)

Clear this up for me. Was Larry Craig sitting on the toilet, or was he standing in the stall. If he was seated, the wide stance dodge doesn't make sense. When you pull your pants down to sit on the toilet you can only spread your feet out so far. You are limited by the fact that your pants are down around your ankles. Try pulling your pants down around your ankles and taking a few steps. Can't stride very far can you? So how can you sit down on a toilet and spread your feet out?

I am sorry, but I can't stop laughing at Larry Craig. I mean seriously, if you were busted under those circumstances and all you were really doing was picking up a piece of toilet paper, you'd still plead guilty?!!!

And his nasty, bad, naughty boy thing is comical, even without the context of everything else that has gone on. Like Bill Maher said, I hope this guy never goes away.
