BREAKING NEWS! Another Republican Pol Involved in Gay Bathroom Sex Scandal

I am having a hard time digesting this story but Republican Senator, Larry Craig (Idaho) was arrested last month for lewd behavior at the Minneapolis airport. Senator Craig was trying to find a jolly time for his "distinguished gentleman" in a men's room but he was busted by an undercover cop in the stall next to him. He pleaded guilty and paid the fine.

My 3 initial thoughts.

• What is going on with hard core conservative Republicans, bathrooms and gay sex?
• The article states that Airport police previously had made numerous arrests in the men's restroom before in connection with sexual activity. Do people really blow some steam off in bathrooms at an Airport? I have heard some crazy stories in my years on this planet but never ever I have heard of dudes hooking up in airport restrooms. I thought this sexual activity only took place in shady public parks and rest stops.
  
• Maybe the Cop was just a disgruntled groupie of the "The Singing Senators" and had it our for their lead singer, Craig.
  

It seems Senator Craig has had allegations in the past of him blowing some dude in DC Train station, Union Station.

WOW.

The hypocrisy continues.

Here is the full Roll Call Article.

Sen. Larry Craig (R-Idaho) was arrested in June at a Minnesota airport by a plainclothes police officer investigating lewd conduct complaints in a men's public restroom, according to an arrest report obtained by Roll Call Monday afternoon.
Craig's arrest occurred just after noon on June 11 at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. On Aug. 8, he pleaded guilty to misdemeanor disorderly conduct in the Hennepin County District Court. He paid more than $500 in fines and fees, and a 10-day jail sentence was stayed. He also was given one year of probation with the court that began on Aug. 8.

A spokesman for Craig described the incident as a "he said/he said misunderstanding," and said the office would release a fuller statement later Monday afternoon.

After he was arrested, Craig, who is married, was taken to the Airport Police Operations Center to be interviewed about the lewd conduct incident, according to the police report. At one point during the interview, Craig handed the plainclothes sergeant who arrested him a business card that identified him as a U.S. Senator and said, "What do you think about that?" the report states.

Craig was detained for approximately 45 minutes, interviewed, photographed, fingerprinted and released, and police prepared a formal complaint for interference with privacy and disorderly conduct.

According to the incident report, Sgt. Dave Karsnia was working as a plainclothes officer on June 11 investigating civilian complaints regarding sexual activity in the men's public restroom in which Craig was arrested.

Airport police previously had made numerous arrests in the men's restroom of the Northstar Crossing in the Lindbergh Terminal in connection with sexual activity.

Karsnia entered the bathroom at noon that day and about 13 minutes after taking a seat in a stall, he stated he could see "an older white male with grey hair standing outside my stall."

The man, who lingered in front of the stall for two minutes, was later identified as Craig.

"I could see Craig look through the crack in the door from his position. Craig would look down at his hands, 'fidget' with his fingers, and then look through the crack into my stall again. Craig would repeat this cycle for about two minutes," the report states.

Craig then entered the stall next to Karsnia's and placed his roller bag against the front of the stall door.

"My experience has shown that individuals engaging in lewd conduct use their bags to block the view from the front of their stall," Karsnia stated in his report. "From my seated position, I could observe the shoes and ankles of Craig seated to the left of me."

Craig was wearing dress pants with black dress shoes.

"At 1216 hours, Craig tapped his right foot. I recognized this as a signal used by persons wishing to engage in lewd conduct. Craig tapped his toes several times and moves his foot closer to my foot. I moved my foot up and down slowly. While this was occurring, the male in the stall to my right was still present. I could hear several unknown persons in the restroom that appeared to use the restroom for its intended use. The presence of others did not seem to deter Craig as he moved his right foot so that it touched the side of my left foot which was within my stall area," the report states.

Craig then proceeded to swipe his hand under the stall divider several times, and Karsnia noted in his report that "I could ... see Craig had a gold ring on his ring finger as his hand was on my side of the stall divider."

Karsnia then held his police identification down by the floor so that Craig could see it.

"With my left hand near the floor, I pointed towards the exit. Craig responded, 'No!' I again pointed towards the exit. Craig exited the stall with his roller bags without flushing the toilet. ... Craig said he would not go. I told Craig that he was under arrest, he had to go, and that I didn't want to make a scene. Craig then left the restroom."

In a recorded interview after his arrest, Craig "either disagreed with me or 'didn't recall' the events as they happened," the report states.

Craig stated "that he has a wide stance when going to the bathroom and that his foot may have touched mine," the report states. Craig also told the arresting officer that he reached down with his right hand to pick up a piece of paper that was on the floor.

"It should be noted that there was not a piece of paper on the bathroom floor, nor did Craig pick up a piece of paper," the arresting officer said in the report.

On Aug. 8, the day he pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct in the Minnesota court, Craig appeared via satellite at a ceremony that took place in Idaho in which former Idaho federal Judge Randy Smith was invested into his new position as a judge on the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

UPDATE: Talking Points Memo has found this item on the web page of the Idaho Values Alliance, a family based group who loves Craig and his ultra conservative voting record. It needs no further explanation.

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.”

Where to start? Gays have 1000 partners and straight people only have 7? I do not even have a comeback for this utter nonsense. I do love the "6 more than we are designed for line." It made me chuckle, out loud too.

The best part of all these family groups that hate gays and passionately despise gay marriage is the fact that these same people have very little if any contact with gay people on a daily basis. Even if I hated gay marriage and I do not, it would not bother me because I never have seen any gay people get hitched before. It is not like straight people can not get married because all of the gays are taking their slots at churches. I do know one thing hetersexual people are good at: Divorce.

Having state and federal governments recognize civil unions of law abiding American citizens that love each other is not a bad thing. The rationale for civil unions is not taking away from heterosexual marriages or their rights, nor does it strike down their religions beliefs but this has always been about getting EQUAL rights for homosexual partners, not special ones.

Gay people DO NOT choose their life style either. Name me one good thing our society does for gay people? Typically, gays are ostracized from their families and loved ones. They are discriminated against, unable to get married or procreate on their own. Why would anyone look at our society and go F IT, I want to be gay. Maybe this is why all these conservative republicans are turning up in bathrooms looking to suck cock because they have been suppressing their true sexual identity. I have no clue, ask Dr Phil or Sean Hannity.

I guess I was WAY out of the loop when it comes to gay sex in airport bathrooms. According to this article, it is common in the Atlanta airport. This Idaho group gets all fired up about a personal Craigslist ad. There are freaks on Craiglist? SHOCKER! I met a drunk in a bar last night too.

UPDATE II: TPM finds this quote from Criag about the Union Station allegation.

Craig denied the man's account and said, "I am not gay and I have never been in a restroom in Union Station having sex with anybody.

"There's a very clear bottom line here," Craig said. "I don't do that kind of thing. I am not gay, and I never have been."

Once again, I repeat being GAY is not the issue nor is exchanging BJs in disgusting public restrooms. These public officials have supported discriminatory policies against gays but all have been busted engaging in the same type of behavior they are railing against.

Gleen Grenwald has an excellent post on how the right ALWAYS slimes the messenger and uses the Craig case to prove this point.

Mac Gs World

Blow Job Bob

A few weeks ago, Mac Gs World highlighted the hypocrisy of moral public crusaders/politicians/republican presidential campaign chairs, Diaper David Vitter and Blowjob Bob Allen. The detailed police report of Blowjob Bob's arrest for trying to get a hummer from an undercover Male police officer in a public restroom has been released.

And As Ned Ryerson panned in Groundhog Day, "ITS A DOOZY!!!!"

After peering over the stall a second time, Allen pushed open the door and joined Kavanaugh inside, the officer wrote. Allen muttered " 'hi,' " and then said, " 'this is kind of a public place, isn't it,' " the report said.

The officer said he asked Allen about going somewhere else and that the legislator suggested going "across the bridge, it's quieter over there."

"Well look, man, I'm trying to make some money; you think you can hook me up with 20 bucks?" Kavanaugh asked Allen.

The officer said Allen responded, "Sure, I can do that, but this place is too public."

Then Kavanaugh said he told Allen, "I wanna know what I gotta do for 20 bucks before we leave.' " He said Allen replied: "I don't know what you're into."

According to Kavanaugh's statement, the officer said, "do you want just [oral sex]?" and Allen replied, "I was thinking you would want one."

The officer said he then asked Allen, "but you'll still give me the 20 bucks for that . . . and that the legislator said, "yeah, I wouldn't argue with that."

Blow Job Bob likes to pay to blow dudes in a public restroom

Dirty Diapers and Afternoon Delight with Blowjob Bob

Mac G's World has been hammering the dirty Republicans and rightfully so. I have never been one to be against kicking someone when they are down and especially after the continuous national nightmare that we live in or otherwise known as the Bush Presidency.

Back in 1998, then Congressman and now publicly shamed sleezebag Vitter did not like the actions of one President Bill Clinton and thought he should be impeached because he was morally unfit to govern.

Once again, a reference to the ambiguous "morality."

Is it moral to send 19 year olds to die? Is it moral to cut social programs for poor children? Is it moral to be against stem cell research? Is it moral to keep cheap drugs and medicine away from Americans? Is it moral to cut off funding for veterans hospitals? Is it moral to take the pensions away from life long workers?

Is it moral to have government officials lie to their citizens about reasons to start a war, illegal spying programs, and firing attorneys for clear political reasons? Is it moral to rip immigrant families apart? Is it moral to torture people we do not like or hold them indefinitely without a trial? Is it moral to never ever criticize and question the actions of our democratic elected government?

While you ponder your own definition of "morality", Vitter ripped Clinton by day and got his freaky icky on with a call girl at night.

We're talking about, among other things, Diaper Fetishism. That's right folks, according to a trusted inside source, Vitter was well known among other Canal Street Brothel patrons to like diapers as well as other bizarre "fetishes".

I want to reiterate, God Bless a Man for getting his kinks off! Diapers are not my thing but whatever you need Mr. Bible Beater to make Mr. Happy smile is fine by me. I enjoyed a good Tucker Max story back in the day when before he was a loser dork with an inflated ego living off his pseudo fame and producing make believe crap literature. I read Savage Love weekly for entertainment and a reminder that there are FAR bigger freaks out there than Mac G Daddy. (Note to my 8 readers, I have a Bday coming up, Send ANAL Beads!)

Speaking of JC Thumpers, it looks like Florida State Rep Robert Allen and Vitter like hypocrite was busted for trying to get a hum piece. It gets even juicer.

Officers say they noticed Allen acting suspicious as he went in and out of the men's restroom 3 times. Minutes later, he solicited an undercover male officer inside the restroom, offering to perform oral sex for $20.

This was poorly worded it makes it seem that Allen was paying the undercover for the BJ, nope it was your usual John Deal.

• First, a public restroom in a park? Those places are super disgusting just to take a leak, let alone blow some baby batter in. Gross.

• 20 bucks is the going rate for a BJ? I was thinking more like 40-60. I have no first hand knowledge, once again, from a friend. Allen not only hates gays and abortions, but is a cheap bastard too.

• The John McCain campaign has had a rough week. They are broke and his loyal longtime advisers have quit on him. Guess who is the co-chair in charge of his Florida campaign? Blow Job Bobby!
  

The Down with Tyranny Blog Sums up these 2 scum bags quite well.

There is a difference between Allen and Vitter. Vitter likes women prostitutes and supports the cross-dressing candidate for president. Allen's into the male variety and supports the most senile of the GOP contenders.
