If Craig had beaten the hell out of a gay guy instead of tryin to attract one- he’d be a gooper hero.

Craig told the cop “You solicited ME” after the arrest…Imagine if he had burst into the other stall shouting…”Toe tapper!”

Of course their “scandals” took place years ago which just shows how far ahead thinking the liberals are.
The liberals, unfettered by pious hypocrisy, repeatedly re-elected both gay congressmen because they weren’t lying intolerant hypocrite liars, but honest men who served their constituents well.

I’m no fan of Larry Craig, but when the reichtards all ban together to kick him out, while cheering for Diaper Dave Vitter, I’ve got to say: Aren’t they even going to make an effort not to show themselves as complete hypocrites?

No.

This has been another edition of Simple Answers to Silly Questions.
