Craig to resign today, too, apparently.

Ok, we're on a roll. Let's get some more Republican scumbags to resign. Don't stop now!

I genuinely feel bad about Craig. The homophobic Republican party coldy turned their back on him without offering the slightest bit of support. And a self-loathing gay man has lost his career and his friends. Seems a steep price indeed.

I hope he just says "screw it", goes <ock crazy, and has a ball with the rest of his life.

The part that bothers me about the whole Craig thing is that would he be asked to leave if he were engaging in an opposite sex encounter? I'm thinking maybe, maybe not. But there seems to be an overwhelming support for him to leave and it seems like the "gay thing" is driving that.

It's the GOP version of "Don't ask, don't tell."

So Tony Snow is retiring so he can earn more money. That's a more honest answer than the usual "want to spend more time with familly" party line. This is certainly validating all the more Bush's lame duck status (to me always lame). In any case, wonder who will bail out next?

I don't care about the reasons for Craig's ouster. Seems most of his constituents are pissed about him being a fag ... but he's still a hypocrite getting his just desserts served up by the angels, no matter what the stupid people of Idaho think of it.

As for him simply putting his bag down inside the stall ... um, no. I heard his taped police interview today and, in his own voice, he talks about putting his hand under the partition to the next-stall a few times.

So none of this innocent foot-tapping to the music being mistaken for gay men's room come-ons. Putting your hand over to the guy next door is not something you do accidentally.

Even if it were not the for hypocritical faggotry, the stupidity of pleading guilty should be enough to have him hounded from office.

He's a politician. They always have their hand out. They're as bad as clergymen in that respect.

Surely there's room in your heart for a fag who lost his way, innerSpaceman.

innerSpaceman · 08-31-2007, 06:07 PM

Oh, I'll let him blow me if he wants to. I'll even hug him afterwards. But I won't stand idly by while he serves in the U.S. Senate to undermine gay rights while, at the same time, longing to suck my <o<k.
