Dorothy Makes Lots of Friends in the GOP

Ted Haggard. Mark Foley. Bob Allen.

And now, Larry Craig.

Roll Call newspaper reported Monday that Sen. Larry Craig of Idaho was apprehended June 11 by a plainclothes police officer investigating complaints of lewd behavior in an airport men's room. ... Craig, 62, paid a $500 fine when he entered his guilty plea on August 8 in Hennepin County Municipal Court in Bloomington, Minnesota, according to state criminal records. ...

According to Roll Call, the arresting officer alleged that Craig lingered outside a rest room stall where the officer was sitting, then entered the stall next door and blocked the door with his luggage. According to the arrest report cited by Roll Call, Craig tapped his right foot, which the officer said he recognized "as a signal used by persons wishing to engage in lewd conduct." The report alleges Craig then touched the officer's foot with his foot and the senator "proceeded to swipe his hand under the stall divider several times," according to Roll Call.

Lovely. That's four cases of smut-fighting, morally superior, adamantly heterosexual, family-promoting, hard-right Christian Republican leaders who love taking it up the ass from male prostitutes, or who sexually proposition young boys in their charge, or who offer blowjobs to complete strangers in some public crapper. Four cases in the space of less than a year.

Not that there's a pattern here or anything.

Watch it, Rogier....

The Emperor may have no clothes ( particularly around young boys) but I'm pretty sure that saying so will get you prosecuted under the Patriot Act these days....

There's no humbug like a neo-Con humbug.

You're starting to sound pretty homophobic here.

Could you elaborate, Phelps?

Here's what a homophobe I am.
