Comments on: Craig Says Not Gay, Did Nothing Wrong http://www.outsidethebeltway.com/archives/craig_says_not_gay_did_nothing_wrong/ Online Journal of Politics and Foreign Affairs Thu, 26 Nov 2009 05:37:08 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: markm http://www.outsidethebeltway.com/archives/craig_says_not_gay_did_nothing_wrong/comment-page-1/#comment-144538 markm Wed, 29 Aug 2007 12:20:52 +0000 http://www.outsidethebeltway.com/archives/2007/08/craig_says_not_gay_did_nothing_wrong/#comment-144538 Three things. 1) You have to give it to a Senator (no pun intended) that can quickly come up with the "WHAAAT, i've got a naturally wide growler stance" excuse on the fly. He's a thinker. 2) I read somewhere that he pulled (again, no pun inteded) the "DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM!!?!?" card. Nice touch. 3) You have to appreciate that he got busted but didn't do anything AND plead guilty for the non event yet felt the need to keep it on the down low..and felt the need to drag his wife to the presser. Dunno if he's got mo' tendencies but where there's astro glide, there is fire. Three things.

It bothers me a bit that in this case at least there wasn't actually any sex or overt intent to have sex. However, the fact that he plead guilty makes the above point moot, and frankly I just can't believe a US senator would be dumb enough to plead guilty to this kind of charge without seeking the advice of a lawyer. I just don't believe him. He should resign. Not sure that he will, but he should. I admit that I didn't know there were secret signals gay people use in bathrooms to get sex from other gay men.

Oh wait, I think someone already used that one... Perhaps the undercover cop was a large black man, and Senator Craig was just scared of being another statistic.

This is just another example of the liberal media creating a story out of thin air because they hate a conservative like Sen. Craig.
