Shouldn’t your tagline “Out to pasture” be “Outed to pasture”?

Gee, in all the hundreds of comments I’ve read on this subject, I never saw anybody say they had no problem with it, Maxx.

One thing I’ve been saying since this story broke is that at best this is shotty police work, and extremely unprofessional. Law enforcement never conducts a sting without any form of audio or video confirmation that there was a crime. Yet no standard….

I’d be happy if they would just have full disclosure on the earmarks so the voters could make smart choices. Investigations take so long and are always seen as political by the opposition.

As I would like to see Vitter get unseated in 2010 for a gaping hole between his values rhetoric and his behavior. His tacit approval of the fearmongering about s 1348 and his amendment helped derail it, so I guess that is “serendipity” (had to look that one up darn you)

You and I will have to agree to disagree on the immigration bill. Why the republicans couldn’t pass a better one when in the majority is still a puzzle. But they are showing that they can obstruct with the best of the democrats, although I would think you want more than that out of the senate and house.

Didn’t this story break just before the the Hillraisers? If anything, that story was broken after several weeks of waiting through the August doldrums and just before a long weekend, when by next week will no one will remember it.

Staff source says he won’t resign — from headline

This is what I expected. He’s now missing his last chance to do the right thing and resign. I predict he will still be pressured into resignation, only later. Now the whole ugly thing is going to be drug-out. Your a real dirtball Larry.

Proposed bumper sticker:

LARRY CRAIG: HIS CAREER IS IN THE TOILET.

ROFL – Good one Doc Waugh!

LARRY CRAIG: HIS CAREER IS IN THE TOILET.

I don’t call for his resignation just because he’s not a “perfect conservative”, although I welcome it because he’s gross and totally wrong on a very important issue (immigration).

I would like to see him resign because he pled guilty to a crime that should disqualify him from the Senate, imo, but that’s just serendipity.

Or whatever the kids are calling it these days…

That’s why its not tolerated, somebody can easily get hurt

To be honest, I don’t give a flying frig if some homo ‘hurts’ himself in the ‘act’…what I care about is HIV-ridden fluids.

This kinda thing has been going on forever though…I just never use public restrooms and leave others choose to wallow in such filth. Ugh.

Maybe I’m missing something here…but wasn’t Craig in a _public_ restroom? Aren’t planes _private_ property?

AFAIC they can have trans-atlantic orgy flights…you pays yer money, you takes yer choice…

What if there were “private” stalls in restrooms. Then it would be pretty much the same as on a plane.

A private compartment on a train or a plane with a lockable door, and paid for by an individual is the polar opposite of a public facility. They are not the same thing no matter what the configuration of the restroom stalls. Public restroom are not meant to be a substitute for a hotel room or your private abode, and anybody using a public restroom to troll for sex is making a nuisance of themselves and causing a problem. That’s why its not tolerated, somebody can easily get hurt, and that’s why the perpetrators get arrested, as they should.

Just playing devil’s advocate. An airplane bathroom is a stall with walls down to the floor. What is you see someone cute on the plane that you don’t know, and you ask them to join you there and she says ok? Sounds fairly similar to me.

Just trying to press the issue. It means, obviously, that we’ve allowed way too much sexual activity in public.

Remember when those 3 celebrity girls (Britney Spears I think) got in/out of a limousine without underwear? That’s a solicitation.
