the reason why it is a big deal is because he's a conservative republican who would have no problem backing anti-homosexual legislature.

exactly... the fact is... he plead guilty to something that he must have known, when found out, would destroy his career.
Im a bit confused how people might consider this a witch hunt? was the cop in the MINNEAPOLIS airport sitting around and just happened to say "oh my! thats Larry Craig! senator from the state of idaho!' and decided to not only arrest him, but publicly humiliate him by busting him on such an ironic charge. claiming this is anything other than what it is, a man who happens to be a senator pleading guilty to a lewd conduct chart, is silly. Its not a witch hunt. nothing is fabricated, no one is out to get him... he got himself.

i was just saying, i have to watch my feet next time i take a number 2

yeah... its tricky sometimes to keep your feet from touching the feet of the person in the stall next to you... ill tell you what, it happens to me all the time...... i have a wide stance... its for extra stability

who invented this foot tapping language and how did it catch on?

and what does one do after the tapping ensues? just crawl under the stall divider to perform sexual acts? that's just sick. think of all the germs on those floors.

the foot tapping, the hand waving/paper picking up below the stall, all gives me the creeps.

I noticed last Spring that the Bathrooms were looking a little rough at the Minneapolis Airport. You know getting to look alot like Greyhound Bus Terminal Bathrooms.

i'm surprised i haven't unknowingly/innocently committed a lewd sexual act yet if it's established by a code of simple and innocuous actions like these.

there goes playing air drums...

somewhat related, the Twin Cities has the highest number of lesbians and homosexual citizens per capita

no one should go #2 in public! no matter how bad you have to go! HOLD IT! GROSS! (if he had just held it, none of this would have happened!)

that's all i have to say.

it was more than simple tapping of the foot...

copy of police report

he tapped his foot, the office responded by tapping his. craig then moved his right foot so that it touched the officers. he then ran his fingers under the stall divider, not just once, but three times.

Not only that, he pleaded guilty to the charges.

cnn

I seem to always have to take a poo at airports

how true.

Why don't we just start calling it the Gay Old Party?

If you'd asked me three years ago if soliciting for sex in a bathroom should be a crime, i may have been so liberally inclined as to say no. Then I personally got solicited for sex when a man poked his cock through a porn shop video booth glory hole, I have not set foot in one since.


That shit is annoying if its not your thing.

...perhaps that's why he was arrested - lack of offending ass discharge. it's not a problem that he was charged, afterall he plead guilty.

One has to think, this guy is a US Senator....who is voting on some important matters, which I think we all know, but not fully understand, but he is the guy. Standing out there representing the State of Idaho and all of the fine people of that state. Now you have to wonder how the heck could have he gotten himself into such a situation. Seems like he made a pile of bad decissions, which makes me wonder how many of those he might of made as a Senator. However...no one will bother to look beyond the obvious....cause he is an upright conservative senator....from the potato state. "God Bless Ya!"

I dunno snook, some of those delays these days can be pretty long, maybe he just need a quick pick-me-up before his flight.

do we need to start a "do you always want sex when you fly?" thread?

Apur.....I think ole Larry was having a "Potato Moment".....

beefeaters,

you missed my point of this thread, it was more sarcasm than anything.

i read all the articles right after it happened and noticed that he admitted to it. thanks for the update though!

dudes, it ain't often that idaho is on the national news. republicans is going crazy here! i was in line to get coffee today at the republican coffee house and they were all on their phones talkin about LC where all i could think was "come on, this is SOOOOO two days ago!"

straight from the potato.

the bottom line is that the only reason why this is news is because he is anti-gay marriage and up for possible re-election.

and he was a total prick once under arrest...

let me whip out my business card. i'm a senator, "what do you think about that?"

SERIOUSLY.

AND...the media is now checking into other airports where craig has had layovers? to see if he's been caught up anywhere else. it just seems like a long shot.

just because you're a guy and you have sex with another guy doesn't make you gay.

bi now gay later?

I kinda feel bad for him. You would have to have some serious mental issues to be conceal your homosexuality for 50 years while simultaneously acting anti-gay rights. One confused dude.

But these things happen in Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho. It wasn't that long ago that Spokane's Catholic bishop was busted in some sort of gay sex scandal. It's hard to be a hypocrite your whole life and not let anyone in on it.

"these things" happen EVERYWHERE!

Yeah... I wasn't speaking about homosexuality (BFD), but rather the strange proclivity of macho, gun-toting, homophobes in western states to turn out to be homosexuals themselves.

(abridged)

by "wide stance" - is craig asserting he has ginormous manly balls or just fat thighs?

My gadar spikes around cats like that, they obviously have something to hide, and since women didn't start showing up in the West until about 20 years ago, there's obviously been lots of Brokeback moments out on the lonely prairie...



Hi, I'm an Idaho state senator, how do you like that?

apurimac,

that last post was great!

gay sex in bus station bathrooms is some much more hard core

leave the driving to us?

vado

wanna go greyhound with me??? You know I like it doggie style

you ol' hound you

ahhh...that's what "greyhounding" means!

Slate has some answers in their "explainer"

http://www.slate.com/id/2173033/nav/tap3/

Glad I read this, 'cause I was really wondering how two dudes could get it on together while in seperate stalls...

new shit has come to light...

i always wondered why people did that often, i just tended to ignore it and been like 'wtf' when people tapped there feet and moved them into my side of the stall door and put their hands down.

who would have know crazy . the more you know...

yikes! that's why you NEVER go #2 in public!!

a bad, naughty boy

I never want to hear a Republican senator say the following words in sequence again: nasty, bad, naughty boy.

at least his family doesn't believe he is gay. wow, so trying to give head to a random guy in a bathroom stall isn't gay these days?

hey n___ there's some HoTnNaStY shtuff goin on down in the dirty south ya'll....

As long as there is a roof on the building and God can't see in - it's not gay

According to Slate:
"Positions vary depending on the space, but one classic setup has one man sit on the toilet while the other straddles his legs and receives oral sex. (In the 1970s, some men frequenting the popular bathrooms at Bloomingdale's in New York would hide their legs by standing in a pair of shopping bags.)"

I love the 70s! Does anyone else have favored strategies for clandestine bathroom encounters?

glory holes were around in the 70s, right?
