I wonder what the mayor of Fort Lauderdale has to say on the matter....

It amazes me how the GOP has duped America into thinking they are the party of morality, when it fact they are the party of perverted deviants.

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

Mike ... you must be crazy.

The story says he PLEAD GUILTY for lewd conduct and has been sentenced to pay a fine, is the only sitting US Senator on probation for a year, and has a 10-day jail sentence being stayed.

This isn't "he said/she said."

The guy plead guilty.

He's guilty. If he was innocent ... he would have plead not-guilty, just like you or I would have.

But he didn't. He plead guilty.

Just like the story said.

Anybody actually read the Roll Call article originally reporting this (link is in this ABC News article) and all the details of what happened? HILARIOUS AND DISGUSTING!!!
Larry Craig says he has "a WIDE STANCE" when going to the bathroom. EXACTLY!!! ROTFLMAO.

What the (bleep) did he allegedly do and plead guilty of doing? Reading this article wont tell you. Have we resorted to treating politicians and anyone else who is rich/famous/powerful with silk gloves?

Come on ABC!

I hate this communistic behavior where the law is skulking around bathrooms looking for offensive behavior. What kind of creepy country has this become. I've just about had enough of this crap. These sadistic fascists will police us into the ground. The hate mongers are winning my freinds and we just sit back and let it happen.

Those things we deny come back to destroy us.

How sad. How predictable. How painful to his family.

So I guess not only priests to this; republican conservatives too. Lawdy!

Craig may be a lying, hypocritical predator who looks for cheap gay sex in men's bathrooms behind his wife's back...but thanks to him and all the other "Family Values" Republicans...at least gays can't burn flags in Idaho!!!

you mean he is gay? Is that what caused the stir in the pot, heard parts on CNN but I didn't get the whole picture when they said it was disorderly conduct, I thought maybe he had to much to drink and fell when I heard about the arrest never knew it was a gay man being arrested in the bathroom, how disgusting.

"Ripley's Believe or Not"!
Statement of Senator Craig:
Boise, ID - Idaho Senator Larry Craig made the following statement in response to the Roll Call story this afternoon: "At the time of this incident, I complained to the police that they were misconstruing my actions. I was not involved in any inappropriate conduct. "I should have had the advice of counsel in resolving this matter. In hindsight, I should not have pled guilty. I was trying to handle this matter myself quickly and expeditiously."

Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmm! Sounds like he was looking for more than playing footsie! There is nothing wrong with being Gay, admit it, go on with your life, be happy.

Hallarious! I love this story, especially the denial. Awesome!

I agree, this old man is one dirtie old birdie!!

Don't ask and don't tell...especially if you are a Senator and asking the wrong person the wrong thing in a men's room...then you are crying "Don't tell!"

Thas how tha works.

Just for a moment, let's consider the senator's comments are true and that he in fact has a wide stance and his actions were misconstrued....What concerns me is he is one of 100 senators that make some of the most important decisions on behalf of our country's citizens. Do we really want someone that doesn't have the wherewithall to ask for a lawyer or openly contest the charges....but instead attempts to "handle this matter myself quickly and expeditiously"?
I would expect a more mature and thoughtful deliberation on the matter at hand. But instead, it appears a quick cover-up was the intent. And this man is making decisions that affect the lives of our families, our military and our future? We have a serious problem and I hope the media along with Congress takes this as a most serious breach of conduct. I feel sorry for the residents and the state of Idado. I feel worse for our country that has this kind of person with no ability to manage a crisis, in charge of making any decisions at all. God help us. Someone please remove him from office.

He's not the only one tapping their feet. Hello!!

Hello, have you met the state of Idaho? I live next door in Washington. Some of the wealthiest Republicans reside and party there along side some of the most poor and desperate of our nation.

Wait, he is a law maker with out the knowledge of the law?! Oh, he makes it up as he goes along.

This is not necessarily so: "If gays were afforded the same rights, then gays such as this jerk, would not have to have unsafe, promiscous sex in public places." ... internalized homophobia is a mental disease ... it is self-loathing ... and of course validates this self-loathing in the person's experience. Sadly, people like the senator would never accept the idea of being a "healthy homosexual" ... their mind is too twisted with self-hatred. But ... what about the U.S. as a whole ... countries all over the world are legalizing same-sex marriage and yet we fall for the deceit of people like this senator and remain steadfast in denying equal rights to our own citizens??

rampart231- this is the kind of people that make those fascist laws. So I would say he feld on his own trap.

And they call us degenerates? Those republicans hate the poor, the hungry the very people that pay the very high bills that they incur. Shame on him...I love that Karma kicks butt quickly.
