Sen. Larry Craig Voice Mail Message

Dude's either a raging idiot, or the unluckiest bastard on the face of the earth.

This is a voice mail message that disgraced Republican Senator Larry Craig left at the wrong phone number, in which he confirms the rumors that he wants to stay and fight for his senate seat.

Oh, please, Larry. Please stay and fight. Please stay in office, so that we can all mock you mercilessly for the rest of your life. Please be our human punchline. Please!!!

Tomboy - "It's Okay to Be Gay"

This is dedicated to Republican Senator Larry Craig, Republican Senator Mark Foley, Republican state legislator Bob Allen, Republican Reverend Ted Haggard, and all those other lunatic closet queens out there tonight.

I hope that someday soon you all find the courage to be who you are, instead of acting like a bunch of disgusting hypocritical, homophobic, self-hating, bible-thumping, criminal, low-life bastards, who give honest proud gay people a bad name. It is time to get your dirty skank asses off the down low and face up to your shit.

You're here. You're queer. Get used to it!

Republican Sex Crime Recap

On tonight's Hardball, David Shuster reported in depth on the Senator Larry Craig case, adding statements from the arresting officer and past allegations of Craig involving gay sex with congressional pages (you know, the same kids Senator Mark Foley was chasing...). Shuster also added a recap of some of this year's conservative republican sex crime highlights. And I swear you can hear Shuster nearly crack up as he reads the report.

My only complaint: he forgot Florida state legislator Bob Allen, who was arrested for doing the exact same thing in a public restroom just last month.

Red State Update: Larry Craig

Jackie believes in the sanctity of bathrooms.

Senator Larry Craig: "I Am Not Gay."

Where is The Daily Show when you need it!?!?! First Gonzales resigns and now we have anti-gay Republican Senator Larry Craig arrested in a men's room for soliciting gay sex... I mean, come on!! Oh well, in the meantime, we just have the fools themselves to laugh at.

Anyway, here's Larry's press conference from earlier today, in which he states for the record, "I am not gay." Apparently, he just "overreacted" in Minneapolis. Poor, poor legislator... Seems the actual practice of law was just too much for him.

Well, Senator Craig, no one believes your arrested gay sex soliciting gay ass...

(Much more coverage available in an earlier post.)

The Gay Old Party Strikes Again

The republican Senator from Idaho, Larry Craig, plead guilty after being arrested in an airport men's room for trying to solicit sex from an undercover police officer. Now that the story has gone nationwide, he's trying to deny the charges.

It shouldn't be surprising to you that Senator Craig is also married and has voted against gay marriage rights.

I just love that so many "family values" republicans are such freakyass sex-crime-committing nellys. I hope we get a few more of these dipshits before Bush's term is up.

UPDATE: Some local news anchors re-enacted Senator Craig's bathroom pick up on air. Also, too, Senator Craig is the co-chair of Mitt Romney's presidential campaign... Can this story get anymore hysterical? Please!?!

-------------------------------------------

UPDATE #2: Oh, kaloo-kalay - it gets better!! Here's a video clip from tonight's Hardball of Senator Larry Craig on January 24th, 1999. In an interview on Meet the Press, he had the nerve to call then President Bill Clinton a "nasty, naughty boy" for gettin' a blow job from Monica Lewinsky. Even Chris Matthews has a hard time swallowing the hypocrisy. (**This story makes me so happy!!!**)

UPDATE #3: Someone's got a crushy-poo! Here's a clip of Senator Larry Craig, Idaho campaign chairman for Mitt Romney, talking about how fabulous Romney is and how much he loves him.
