AdamLanes 1 #27 August 28, 2007 This guy is so full of shit. Is he seriously claiming that he needed an attorney to tell him that innocent people plead not guilty? This elected official is either a liar or a moron, and I am guessing both. No wonder the USA is going down the tubes! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billvon 3,120 #28 August 28, 2007 >Sen. Larry Craig of Idaho was arrested by a plainclothes police officer >investigating complaints of lewd conduct in a men's restroom at the >Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, according to a report just >issued by Roll Call. From the irony desk, here's a quote from the Idaho Values Alliance website: ----------------- Both of Idaho’s senators, Larry Craig and Mike Crapo, cast pro-life votes by weighing in against this bill, and deserve our thanks for helping to make an override impossible. . . . If you would like to call the offices of Sen. Craig and Sen. Crapo and leave a simple message, “Thank you for voting against S. 5,” you may reach them at 202-224-3121. --------------- The article is followed by a picture of Larry Craig. Right beneath the picture: -------------- BONUS BYTES One of the tragic characteristics of the homosexual lifestyle is its emphasis on anonymous sex and multiple sexual partners. It is a little-acknowledged secret that many active homosexuals will have more than 1,000 sex partners over the course of a lifetime (the average among heterosexuals is seven – still six more than we were designed for). This sordid fact of homosexual life surfaced yesterday in an AP article yesterday that reports on the number of arrests police have made for indecent exposure and public sex acts in the restrooms at Atlanta’s airport, the busiest in the world. The increased restroom patrols, begun to apprehend luggage thieves, instead uncovered a rash of sex crimes. Airport restrooms have become so popular that men looking for anonymous sexual trysts with other men have advertised their airport availability on Craigslist. One such ad was from a man saying he was stuck at the airport for three hours and was looking for “discreet, quick action.” (AP: Arrests Up in Atlanta Airport Restrooms) ---------------- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Para_Frog 1 #29 August 28, 2007 This is good shit if it's enough to get Lanes to post! There has been rumor for some time 'round these parts that he is queer as a football bat. As with say Sen. Byrd, however, Craig brings home the porkage - so people have turned the other cheek without solid evidence. They won't now. It's been widely accepted that this was his last term. I begrudgingly agree with whackadoo on this one, to wit: If you're gonna smoke pole, knock yourself out...just quit trying to sell me that you're a saint. There is no tolerance for douchebags in Idaho - he's through.

Zipp0 1 #32 August 28, 2007 I went back and read the police report and it seems to me that he really did't do anything illegal at all. In fact, his explanation seems plausible. The whole basis for the arrest was the foot tapping and the fact that he had a roller bag. Seems like there is 'reasonable doubt' all over this one. -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.

kelpdiver 2 #37 August 28, 2007 Quote>but this sort of evidence is pathetic. True. However, his admission of guilt is rather strong evidence of his guilt, wouldn't you agree? Not especially. I know people who have rushed to accept a plea bargain quickie settlement that wasn't entirely appropriate and regretted it later. It seems obvious what happened, but I just don't see anything to support a criminal conviction. To me, something actually has to have been attempted, and all we have here is toe tapping.

I am sure many people regret such decisions later. Nevertheless, he admitted he did it. If we assume he is responsible for his own decisions, then by his own admission, he is guilty of the crime. We are responsible for our actions and our words in court. >To me, something actually has to have been attempted, and all we >have here is toe tapping. ??

Andy9o8 2 #42 August 28, 2007 He now says pleading guilty was a mistake he made without an attorney which he now regrets. Fine. So now that he (presumably) does have an attorney, let's see if he backs that up by filing a motion to withdraw his guilty plea. They're generally pretty hard to win, but they can be filed.

AdamLanes 1 #46 August 29, 2007 Quotehe really didn't do anything illegal at all. Is it really perfectly legal for government officials to peep in through the stall crack and watch you while you are on the toilet? Maybe this is all just a way that Senator Larry Craig is helping keep us safe from terrorists. This was at the airport right? Maybe we should be thanking Senator Craig for bringing this security issue to our attention. Why not install security cameras in all public bathrooms, and require permission to use the potty.
