Looks like the Star Tribune in Minneapolis was slacking on this story. Whoever was on the cop beat that day and the court beat the other day will probably be in trouble. Shouldn't have missed this one, Trib.

Why is it almost always REPUBLICAN politicans getting caught for stuff like this. It seems to me that the anti-gay party has MORE gays in it than the Democrats!

( ( ((( GASP!!! ))) ) ) A GOP who is involved in a hypocritical act of sexual deviance? SAY IT AINT SO! LOL... not again!

I wonder what the grandchildren of this man thinks about GrandDad being gay?
How about the grown kids? I bet they had an inkling that Dad was gay. How could they not? I know the wife knew that he was homosexual. How could she not.
Gooses and ganders should be baked at the same degree in the oven of life. How could he be so Gay and advocate/vote for the restriction/denial of civil rights of gays.
If gays were afforded the same rights, then gays such as this jerk, would not have to have unsafe, promiscous sex in public places.
GET REAl....

The Puritans,the Republican party who hold themselves to a higher standard than mere mortals. Gays and lesbians are bad. bad people. Women who exercise the right to have an abortion are evil, husbands who commit adultery lack family values,a fathers who would abandon his children for a mistress and go as far to evict them from their beds for the sole purpose of having his mistress preside with him at the mansion. Bad! bad father!What about that! these low life scoundrels hide behind the mask and sham of the pure,holy Republican party! As Grandma would say "What a hoot!"Rudy and Judi's campaign will be more entertaining then any sitcom!

i am heterosexual male and if someone had accused me of a lewd act upon another man in a mens room, i would have fought it tooth and nail, and would have never plead guilty-for any reason. unless i was guilty...

'he said/he said misunderstanding', thats funny...the only misunderstanding is the senators sexuality...

He's a homophobic closet case. Why isn't the press all over this story. Wasn't he caught in a DC restroom doing the same thing last year. George Michael was raked through the press mercilessly for this but he is 'out' so that makes trashing him okay.

Thats the same city the GOP picked for their 2008 Convention...

Thousands of men and women are labeled sex offenders each year and ordered to register in their home state for spanking their children's bottoms, urinating in public, and many more things that are in no way associated with sex acts with a child. Sounds like this incident falls into that same catagory. I wonder if Senator Craig will escape this fate. The law that includes those with no history of or intention to offend against a child may be without merit but it should pertain to all or be changed. Will the Senator be restricted as to where he can live (not near a school or daycare) and will he now have to have an approved escort every time he is around any child under 17 years of age? Again, let's change the law or be sure it pertains to all.

Much like everyone knew Mark Foley was gay but never spoke of it publicly until scandal broke, most people in the know have been aware of Senator Craig's homosexuality for quite sometime. My favorite quote from the article is the "he said/she said" part. It was a men's bathroom known to be a pickup spot; there were no "she's" around to be saying much of anything.

Yeah, it's weird that more elected homosexuals have come from the GOP than from the Dems.

As a gay man, this news makes me both happy and sad. Happy that another anti-gay hypocrite is now going to get a taste of the same hatred he helped perpetuate for so many years. And sad that another creep like this is going to be included in people's perceptions of gays.

Yeah, and then we will sell all of our car factories, leaving us nothing to produce weapons in case of war (as in WWII). We're beeeeggging to go under.

I may be crazy, but the story says that this guy got arrested for tapping his foot?

What a pathetic disgusting moron this guy is. First he plays footsie in the men's toilet with intent on performing, who knows what bizaar deviant sexual acts with a stranger, then pleads gulity, then claims its all just a big misunderstanding. Please Senator Craig, resign and spare us the sickening trama!

Is this why Gonzo resigned today?

To drown out the public furor over yet another prominent Republican with a "wide stance"?

Why do Republicans, the party of "law and order", always argue against the law when they are caught with their pants down?

Namely Craig's excuse that he should have got a lawyer and not pled guilty.

Every prisoner in America that pled guilty should file an appeal using that excuse. Brilliant!

And that she-devil said WHAT about Edwards?

What a red-letter day for the Democrats--first Gonzales's resignation and then the Craig scandal which, as the days go on, undoubtedly will become more embarassing for Craig and the Republican party. The Clintons will be opening a bottle of champagne (or two) tonight at the Vineyard.

Another Republican sex deviant freak. Why do people vote for these wackjobs again?
