from Reuters: Idaho Senator Craig pleads guilty after men's room arrest8/27/07 By JoAnne Allen " WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A Republican U.S. senator confirmed on Monday that he had pleaded guilty to a charge of disorderly conduct earlier this month after he was arrested in June in a men's' toilet at a Minnesota airport.
Sen. Larry Craig of Idaho was arrested by a plainclothes police officer investigating complaints of lewd conduct in the men's public restroom at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, according to a police report cited by the Capitol Hill newspaper Roll Call....
According to the police report, Craig entered a bathroom stall next to the police investigator, placed his bag against the front of the door and tapped his foot in a gesture commonly used to try to pick up men in public toilets.
"I recognized this as a signal used by persons wishing to engage in lewd conduct," Roll Call wrote, quoting the investigator in the police incident report....
In a June 2006 Senate vote, Craig voted in favor of an amendment to the Constitution to define marriage in the United States as a union between one man and one woman. The amendment was defeated by one vote....
In October last year a gay rights activist claimed in a Web log that Craig had had several gay relationships. Craig's office denied it, saying the allegations were "completely ridiculous" and had "no basis in fact."...."

The "republicrits" strike again with more "do as I say, not as I do". what a bunch of hypocrites. I remember seeing a list published on the net a while back that showed the number of republicans caught in gay, pedophilic, extramarital or other sex related scandals outnumbered democrats by a 2:1 margin. The conventional wisdom has always been that democrats get involved in sex scandals, and republicans in money scandals - but in reality the republicans get caught in more of both. So much for the party of "family values" whatever that really means. So now we know what GOP stands for "Gay Old Pedophiles"

Do you know where to find that list, Blueneck?
Thanks,

Besides - I think Craig should stay - the voters need a reminder of just what hypocrites the religious right neocons are
