Who is so virgin in here? Nobody! so why care?
Bwahahahhahaaaahhaaahaa!
The stupid pervert didn't even have the common sense, and decency, to resign immediately. I wonder if he'll be on the Senate floor when the session opens next week? The least they should do is take away his Senate mens-room key!
if he did nothing wrong then why did he admit he did and pay a fine?
...and to think the president once had a co-ed living under his desk dispensing blow jobs! All this guy di was go to the bathroom, make some funny foot and hand signals and he loses his senate seat? Glad I don't live in Minesota!
Bush: Oh, g mornin senatah....why yes..I heard...unfortunate t say th least..whah this guy din't jes git a boyhfrind, ah'll nevah knnow, ya knoow? Ah mean...I still don't quite unnastan hoow footsie and hand gestyahs git ya arrested in Minnesota, but north is north an south is south, eh boyh!?

Now, normally, ah lahke cee gars, laurah really hates em, I don't unnastan whyah...., but this ol humidor was unna mah desk when I came inta office!

SP4. Clinton had it right and bush has it all wrong. Deal with it and take your nose out of bush's poop-chute.
'bathroom incident' / 'disorderly conduct' / 'lewd behaviour' - Unnecessarily politically correct, to the point that this article is not stating the key aspects of this story, which is a republican senator openly against gay rights was caught soliciting for sex in public toilets. This website is another example of republican backed media. The fact that he was a strong campaigner against gay rights is left as a footnote. If your seeking unbiased news then leave now.
Another example of hypocrisy running amok in the ranks of your so-called 'Christian Conservatives.' Practise what you preach seems to be a mantra they reserve for others, but not themselves. I wish Middle-America would wake up and realize their shiny white paragons of virtue are nothing but smoke and mirror BS artists and no better than a crack 'ho in Miami or a porn director in LA.
My main gripe with right-wing America is they wave their patriotic flags around like blind idiots without questioning anything but other people's activities. Activities they find objectionable because 'the bible told them so even though these activities are found in every country with a name, apparently the result of good ol' human nature.
Last time I looked the constitution it guaranteed an American the right to the pursuit of happiness. Of course to your right-wingers, that happiness is only allowed as long as THEY don't find it uncomfortable. Apparently in the red-states there are gangs of armed men forcing people into gay activities or watching porn or having abortions. How else could you account for the the hysterical fear since these are usually left to personal choice?
If they weren't such a bunch of hypocrites, this senator would have been out, nobody would have cared and a whole lot of this country wouldn't have the sticks up their butts whenever someone else is looking for a good time that ends in an orgasm, regardless of the gender of their partner. I have the feeling that those sticks are in place because there are so many people who succumbed to human nature and now they have to play the hypocrisy game because they think their play acting will hide their guilt from Jesus.
Exeunt Cesar and Jesus.
The far right, i.e. those guys we like to hide from everyone (the left flaunts their crazies), seem to think this guy is the antichrist.
The thing that pisses conservatives like me off is that, in the moment required, a sh-thead like Edwards, for a desperate political move, will invoke Dick Cheney's Daughters sex preference, a person totally outside the political spectrum, in order to further his career on national TV. Yep, the Breck girl, sensing his doom at the polls, went for the worst, cheapest, most desperate and disingenuous move he could muster, throwing this poor girl out to the media dogs, all in the blind hope of turning the tide on his loss...to none other than Dick Cheney! God, what a loss, to a person sooo hated!
Now tell me, i.e. the f--khead above, what makes your libnazi trophy boys one lick different than the worst, most pious, fish-on-the-back-of-the-f--king-car, bible toting, carrot-up-the-ass evangelist, when, in a moment of desperation, they will do EXACTLY what these bible toter's do?
Hypocrites? You have plenty on the left side of the aisle asshole.
Personally, I'd rather have the Senator from Idaho before I'd ever want Edwards!
Good thing SP4 isn't from Minnesota - he can't spell it! Once again, if you have a different opinion, you are called every name in the book - God has spoken - no, only SP4! Just because someone else got away with something, does it mean it lets everyone else off the hook? This situation isn't quite like Clinton. This is about another first class hypocrite, who is also stupid enough to think he can get away with it. And now I suppose I'll be called the next sh**head!
SP4,
The big difference here is,
Billy Clinton never said or campaigned against blow jobs,in fact he proved he was all for them,
on the other hand Larry Craig actively campaigned against something that he found rather tasty.
SP4 finds it tasty also. Is it me or did SP4 just have a rant?
more like a rage!
Sounds more like he got his knickers in a bunch!
Gentlemen:
Let go of your privates. Don't ry to impress me, you cannot.
Senator Spread Legs was convicted of being a hypocrite in the court of public opinion. So be it. We had a liberal Governor who diddled his kids 14 year old baysitter and had the liberal press gag it for 20(?) years. After all, no use outing the trophy boy, eh?
Liberals parade this Senator as the standard of hypocrisy, while they hide their own Southern Baptists and Catholics who are actually against gay behavior just as much as any so called conservative.
It is the politics if the patchwork quilt, but, after all, no sense in muddying the water now, huh? Never mind the hypocrisy of the Kennedy's and their phony environazi front, while they benefit from oil sales and stifle windmill farms on their own turf, or the Clintons and their Enron money, Gore burning thousands of gallons of jet fuel while he preaches a smaller co2 foot print, or my personal favorite, Ted Kennedy throwing a waitress onto a table at a DC resturaunt and then paying her off to be silent!
Hypocrites? God, the accusation would almost be an insult if I could just forget Sandy Berglar and his MC Hammer pants collection, or the little fag in the Clinton FBI records scandal answering the committee with '...Vince Foster did it'.
Yep, you're going to have to do better than one guy from Idaho, with a taste for guys in a bathroom to impress me. Besides, can any of you tell me exactly what is illegal about what he did? Why is it the Conservatives always have to point this out? Isn't there one liberal who will ask why?
Off with their heads I say - the whole world's corrupt!
SP4 apparently doesn't understand that Nazis were right-wing? Nazis openly hated liberals. Just like SP4!
dan
Not that I ever said any such thing, but one has to ask about the Nazi party's food, health care and child care assistance that was so popular among the German population, before they gained power. Then there were things like gun bans and camera bans, etc. Now, I don't know about you, but that sounds a lot like social liberalism to me!
You see, at the end of the political spectrum, the ends meet i.e. they are the same, totalitarians, regardless of which end they are from.
Now I hear the good Senator may be reconsidering his resignation at the end of September after all! My thinking is that he wants to spend the month bending pages in the Congressional Library before making a decision. Mothers, do you know where your children are?
The travails of a U.S. SENATOR
Was the esteemed legislator just 'GAY'?
Tapping his foot in that seedy bathroom bay.
Or could he be 'Bi'?
Doing both sexes on the sly.
Visions of video-full colour exposed on YOU-TUBE
like some stupid REPUBLICANT IDAHO 'boob'.
Your supposedly being caught in semi -
'flagrente delecto'
could be the only reason to change the accepted status quo.
So you now have decided to 'bitch' and try
prove to all the 'rubes' that you ain't at least 'Bi'.
Here's an 'earmark' for you to settle this trivial dispute
nothing short of verified evidence earns a U.S. SENATOR any disrepute.
