OK....I'm no Obama fan, but I found this to be amusing. Elizabeth Edwards thinks Obama behaves in a holier-than-thou sort of way. For the Edwards to be critical of anyone behving in that fashion (whether they are or not) I just find to be humorous, because of all the dem candidates, he is the one that certain ats that way more than any of them.

Here's an interesting clip of Dick Cheney's views on an Iraq invasion in 1994.

Well, well, well.......looky what Idaho Republican and Romney man Larry Craiggot caught doing in June: Foot-tapping Craig busted in men's room.

I am surprised I haven't heard of this until now.

I'm not familiar with Larry Craiggot. Does the last name rhyme with "faggot" or "Lego"??










Obviously, I'm rooting for the ironic answer. :cheers:

How do these creeps live with themselves? It's like that New Jersey asshole and our former mayor- they deny rights and are openly hostile to homosexuals, and sure as **** they wind up being thusly inclined. What makes a person so ****ed up that they obviously get off on hurting others for doing the same thing they do. I know it's nothing new, but I just don't get it.

Wait a second, are you saying he tapped his foot and waved his hand around? That's what he was arrested for?

Did he drop trow in public? Did he jerk the flag pole openly? Did he try to book a room for two guys at Disneyland?

He pleaded GUILTY to lewd conduct. If he wasn't guilty, and he's a public official, that was about the most bone-headed thing to do. Now, no matter what he says or even what really happened, he's on record about being the worst kind of hypocrit about homosexuality.

Moon, the guy's been doing this **** for a long time now- looks like it finally caught up with him. The bigger question is how this story went almost three months without being published: Craig almost got away with it....

Alex 08-28-2007 06:40 PM

It isn't good that he was doing what he was doing considering his position on other people doing it.

But the fact that what he did is illegal is pretty stupid too.

I found Slate publishing this conversation among their editors about the story to be an interesting behind-the-scenes look at editorial decision making. Also, ignoring the question of hypocrisy by Craig I pretty much agree with Dickerson.
