Satire isn't satire isn't satiire Perhaps this piece is guilty of failing to fall into an established satirical subgenre.

It's not "Onion-style" satire, and it's not excruciatingly fact-based "Only-the-Truth-Is-Funny" Rick Reynolds-type satire. So the writer's crime is either not being nitty-picky fact-based, or not being outrageous enough to warrant his not being fact-based.

You Pompous SOB! C'mon! who cares about this. A simple sign would do...

"No Sex in the restrooms, we monitor."

"GET A ROOM!"

If we could just quit being so uptight about small things. last time I checked this was the twenty first century. Treat people like adults and they just may respond as adults.

I wonder how much time the officer spends on this. I know we have better thing for them to do in our nations airports.

If the Senator is gay or not gay really doesn't matter. That's his business. If he was caught having sex in the bathroom then that would cross the line. Give him a ticket and publish it for public consumption. I think that's a good enough deterrent.

We should let him know that we will forgive him if he votes to end the war. That would be the American thing to do.

Peace.

It should be a crime? So what you're saying is that the public (and that is the only thing that matters here) should condone it by vilifying this man. Where is the gay community, they should be outraged!

That's what so sick about this It always has to be about right left. Never about right wrong. This is just flat out wrong!

Can't he sue on some constitutional grounds.

it is possible to point out errors or differences of opinion without being rude, condescending, insulting, and abrasive, you know. I would hope that in the future you would bear in mind that a small bit of courtesy in political discourse goes a long way.

If you read closely..... ....You would notice that it was Whipple who wished to characterize his post as a legal brief. That was his excuse for ignoring Craig's hypocrisy. But, having failed as a legal brief (or even a C+ news article), the latest spin is that the post is entirely satire. Stay tuned for the newest spin....

Nice post Great defense of Larry Craig. I like the reasoning and phooey on the grouse that wanted to turn it into a legal brief. I think that individual must have been in an adjacent stall. Anyway good piece, made me chuckle out loud (hard to get me to do that).

Maybe.... ...if there WAS a thread about it, I would talk about it there. But since there is NOT, I was commenting on the absence of a thread on such a major story, compared to this one that is "just about sex," to borrow a phrase.

If you don't like the commentary, tough. But namecalling and personal disparagement won't change things. It just shows that you have no substantive answer to the point being made.

Come out of the closet I read the court documents and saw his signed confession in which he agreed he was guilty. They are posted all over the internet now and easy to find.

He stared through the crack in the door into the cop's bathroom stall for at least 2 minutes, long enough that he identified his blue eyes. Come on! He was quite obviously soliciting sex, which I could care less about if it wasn't for the blatant hypocrisy.

Basically, this is a very troubled man who is lying to himself and everyone else in his life. It's pathetic.

Happy Feet I understand now that toe-tapping is a code! So that's why Dobson and Medved were so sure that the movie 'Happy Feet' had gay undertones...and protested its G rating!

That wasn't original with me - but it did make me laugh - the only thing that did in this pathetic episode.

There is room for both stories... We're just people enjoying the down fall of another hypocrite. So I guess you're just fine with this man continuing to serve in the senate. It makes no differnce that he is breaking laws he's helping to create?

Oh, wait! Look over here. There's a Democrate that's doing something wrong... (that's sarcastic - (oops! had to explain it.))

There's more than enough room on the interent to deal with all of our law-maker's wrong doings...

What??? The officer was responding to a complaint regarding the good senator's behavior. He had no choice but to be there. I'm sure he would have been much happier not being there.

citizen dear dan- either you are just trying to provoke folks into a dialog or you are an ignorant fool. This act on the part of SENATOR craig is not just foot rubbing or finger wiggling. So, dan- what are you?
I believe that you are 1- a stinking rabble rouser and 2- an ignorant fool.

Lets see- the sick individual is employed as only one of one hundred individuals whose job it is to RUN this country. Do you understand that? And- ya want ta know something?

he wasn't looking for and adult- he was looking for a piece of YOUNG MEAT! And that makes him one sick bastard.

Ya get it now? Don't buy the nonsense that he was looking for another man. The only thing stopping him is fear and ignorance. GET IT?

This entire episode is simply... beautiful. And to think his "sponsor" in rehab is Mark Foley. The only additional development that could add to the hilarity of this situation is if Haggard (he of the meth/male prostitute fame) joined them for a threesome at rehab.

Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful.

Can you picture the exchange in rehab?

Sen. Craig: "Hey Mark, what say we hit the local airport?"

Foley: "Airport? Screw that. Let's go find us a boys dorm room."

Haggard: "You think they'll have any meth?"

Funny, all this talk.... ....about Craig, when "it was just about sex," and no story at all about how Udall has been taking illegal campaign contributions from fugitive felon Hsu (just like Hillary).

Hmmmm. Interesting.
