[Hawkeye-X]

:popcorn:

GIT YOUR POPCORN HERE!

Keep us updated for us cube rats...

EDIT: Live feed here: http://www.cnn.com/video/live/live.html?stream=stream1

[AlCzervik]

1. i laughed, i cried, i couldn't look away.

[BurtWorm]

36. Can't wait till the Mel Gibson movie version.

:popcorn:

[karlrschneider]

2. No sign of him yet...he's stalling.

:P

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

7. He's stalling because his life is in the crapper!

;)

[Ediacara]

18. And I thought ID's other Senator, Crappo, got all the crapper jokes...

:-)

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

93. Not any more as they are both full of shit. It's time that Idaho should flush these repukes away

and vote in Democrats. :)

[spanone]

12. LOL

[dancingme]

3. wait! I have to go to the bathroom!

[Maraya1969]

125. OK but make sure you keep your feet to yourself!

[wicket]

4. please feed the cube rats

:popcorn:

[itsrobert]

14. Are the same 'signals' put out in cubes like stalls?

n/t

[wicket]

20. Only for those with wide stances

:rofl:

[Ilsa]

118. He's all over the place... circular logic employed:

Consider the context of how I was trying to deal with this since the Idaho Stateman has been printing vicious rumors about me.
(Sooo, he confessed because the newspaper called him gay?)

Everyone, even GOPers, says Craig's statement is not credible.

I am not, and have never been gay! I love my wife (so what?) I love my friends (What does that have to do with it?)

He is toast. The pundits would be laughing at him if this was anyone other than a senator.

[LSK]

5. which CSPAN ?

[karlrschneider]

13. Probably CSP1 if any but CNN and M$NBC will carry it

...

[LSK]

15. nevermind

[itsrobert]

6. His career is in the shitter

Too easy.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

11. he got wiped clean

no, that just sucks.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

8. salt, seasoned salt? butter, REAL BUTTER?

my guess is he be gone. today. Now.

[EVDebs]

9. The only way Dems and GOP can cooperate on the Craig matter is

IF Craig were 'set up' that's a pretty big IF, but look at what it leads to:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=1682975&mesg_id=1683289

[KurtNYC]

10. he made a plea deal now he is back ing out - can he be prosecuted again?

He wants a trial now? I say give him one.

[Junkdrawer]

16. LOL...CNN has a three panel screen...

1.) talking head

2.) Craig Mug Shot

3.) Canned shot of the airport Men's Room

:rofl:

[dubyaD40web]

17. Don't go to the bathroom!

[orleans]

19. oh, stand by

[graywarrior]

21. He widening his stance for the big blow

[BeyondGeography]

22. Jessica Reporter Babe's false eyelash almost got stuck a few minutes ago

when she batted her eyes for the camera. A measure perhaps of the palpable excitement in The Situation Room.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

23. this is much more exciting than hearing about Paris Hilton

Larry the sacrificial lamb

[Bucky]

24. "A guilty plea doesn't mean I'm *guilty*, of course. It only means I was inconvenienced."

Well, I'm glad we settled that.

Dance faster, little monkey boy.

[AlCzervik]

25. here we go, Bonus points-Mrs. Craig is there!!

[AlCzervik]

28. "Thank you all for coming out today, please let me apologize to my friends, family and staff"

I did nothing wrong at the airport.

[Ian David]

84. Didn't he hear the announcements? "The Men's Room is for immediate unloading of urine & feces only."

"There is no fornicating in the Men's Room."

[yardwork]

122. Why's he apologizing if he did nothing wrong?

[Maraya1969]

132. He is apologizing for pleading guilty to charges that he was not guilty of.

He soooo very very very sorry that he plead guilty to charges that he was not guilty of. He has harmed his family, his party and his country by pleading guilty to charges that he is not guilty of. He is going to introduce legislation to help people who have mistakenly pleaded guilty to charges that they were not guilty of. He is going to start a Guilty-holics for people who cannot stop pleading guilty to charges that they are not guilty of.

[yardwork]

133. How does he feel about water-boarding?

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that Senator Craig has voted in favor of torturing prisoners to get information from them. How does that match up with his own situation? He says that he was so intimidated by a newspaper's editorials about him that he pleaded guilty to something he didn't do?

[erinlough]

35. First line.....

Thank you all for coming out.......so appropriate!

[orleans]

90. I LOVED THAT OPENING!

i was waiting for HIM TO COME OUT!

[erinlough]

100. would have been a better move than this presser.

[spanone]

26. he' with his wife of course....

[spanone]

27. another apology.....but he did nothing wrong.....

[spinbaby]

30. Oh, the poor woman!

[King Coal]

81. I wonder if she's thinking "No wonder he never get's frisky."

Poor lady. He needs to Barney Frank up. He'd feel better and so would she.

[erinlough]

104. Tough place for a wife.

You are supposed to be supportive of your husband and yet right at that moment you want to kill him. Very conflicting, and I and others who have gone through this know it.

[shanti]

127. welll...

he DID get frisky at least three times! lol

[ChairmanAgnostic]

29. thank you for coming out.

NO, he didn't really say that, did he?

[spanone]

39. yes he did.....he has lawyers now.

[Corgigal]

31. he can out with the little woman

hahahahaha

He did NOTHING wrong and over reacted.

Man should be a comedian.

[brooklynite]

32. "I did nothing wrong"

[BeyondGeography]

33. Denial, denial, denial

Larry keeps the story growing...Good news for our side.

[malaise]

34. Here we go

I will reaed a statement.
Apologises to is family, says he did nothing wrong and regrets decision to plead guilty - Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

[karlrschneider]

37. I did nothing wrong...and for that I apologize.

Essentially what the prick's saying...

[AlCzervik]

38. now blaming himself for not getting a lawyer, now he has lawyered up.

[PCIntern]

46. HTF do you go to court

without a frigging lawyer? Almost unbelievable...

[PCIntern]

I'm not gay...

...a cloud over Idaho? No, the cloud is over him.
Sorry, pal. It's all yours.

[malaise]

52. I am not gay

I never have been gay - blame the Statesman - bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

[yardwork]

123. I don't believe for a minute that he didn't have a lawyer.

A U.S. senator without at least one lawyer on retainer? Yeah, right.

[AlCzervik]

129. plus he is a senator, it's like he doesn't know what's going on.

[yardwork]

130. Since he's a Republican senator, he probably doesn't know the law very well.

I'll give him that. He's probably puzzled about things like Miranda rights and the right not to be waterboarded or tortured to death. On the other hand, I'm certain that he has a lawyer.

[Junkdrawer]

40. I deeply apologize for pleading guilty...

:eyes:

[LeftHander]

41. LIAR LIAR LIAR LIAR.....you tried to pick

up a stranger in a public restroom....!


EEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!

[orleans]

95. don't forget: he didn't even FLUSH! n/t

[caligirl]

42. anyone recall an incident at the Dulles airport bathroom, I seem to recall

this has happened before with this guy?

[soothsayer]

63. it was at union station

[DCKit]

103. Some blogger was canvassing the regulars at Union Station

To find out if anyone could confirm an encounter. Unfortunately, they went to the restroom on the concourse and not the one by the theaters where all the action takes (took?) place.

[spanone]

43. i am not gay, i have never been gay

[Corgigal]

44. Craig " I am not gay and never been gay"

tombstone this guy

[AlCzervik]

45. "Viciously attacked by the idaho statesmen, i am not Gay and never have been gay"

[brooklynite]

I've always associated Idaho with "Left Wing Media"...

[AlCzervik]

56. ding ding ding bonus points +10!

[yardwork]

124. Terribly biased, that left-wing media in Idaho. A real den of communism there.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

53. by NOT publishing, he was attacked?

gimme an effin break, dude.

He is STAYING?

[AlCzervik]

61. details details, you damn liberals with your wanting facts and details.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

114. it's that truthiness quality we love.

our silly fact-based universe.

[BR_Parkway]

65. "I love my wife" - I'm queer as they come and fully loved my

wife when I was married to her.

I have to say thank you Senator, for the continued publicity that you are going to draw to this and to the typical Republican hypocrisy.

[mzmolly]

98. No, he's not "gay" he's on the "down low." He's just a hetero man who likes sex with other men.

And, that's not "gay" of course. ;)

[MiniMe]

119. I thought it took place in Minnesota

[AlCzervik]

121. idaho statesman is his hometown newspaper.

[partylessinOhio]

47. OMG, he was harrassed by a newspaper. tsk tsk!

"I am not gay."

snicker

[KurtNYC]

57. the newspaper made him do it ?!

[soothsayer]

105. newspapers can cause homosexuality. in idaho.

[davidwparker]

117. Your Reid/Pelosi sheep ... LOL n/t

[spanone]

48. that means he's gay

[erinlough]

49. How do you "over react" by pleading guilty!!!!!

[ChairmanAgnostic]

59. when you plead to a lesser charge.

that's how.

forgive me for pleading guilty.

[tridim]

50. Total denial.. "I am not gay, nor have I ever been gay"

:rofl:

[brooklynite]

58. "I am occasionally cheerful however..."

[Junkdrawer]

71. LOL...

Good One :)

[AlCzervik]

51. Now he's calling his arrest a failure--"I AM NOT GAY!"

[spanone]

54. so at best he's bi

[Cha]

126. craig's a

lyin' hypocrite just like every other buSHIT.

[soothsayer]

55. wow! learned nothing from Clinton. bring on the stories from his male lovers!

[Oilwellian]

60. Did he just blame the Idaho Statesman...

for his pleading guilty?

[AlCzervik]

66. yes yes.

[tridim]

62. Take it Mr. Flynt.. He's all yours now. nt

[soothsayer]

70. yep, I was thinking the same thing!

[ChairmanAgnostic]

108. he's been way too quiet.

I wonder if the NSA surveillance on him has shut him up.

[LSK]

64. .

:popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn:

[LSK]

77. reporters telling him to come out of the closet

"Come on Larry, be gay"

[BeyondGeography]

67. The tone more strident than defiant...all wrong

[spanone]

68. no questions

[Guaranteed]

69. That was pretty sad. nt

[spanone]

73. damned pathetic......

[partylessinOhio]

Yes, sad to have the devoted wife stand there and listen to his BS!

I would have hit him upside his head in front of the Statesman and all other media!

[ecstatic]

72. He's on the down low. All he does is have sex with men

But that doesn't count. Right? :shrug: :sarcasm:

[PCIntern]

74. I liked the reporter who asked

"what if you are gay?"

[spanone]

89. i heard that bwahahahahaaaaaaaaaa

[spanone]

92. Why did it take two months for this story to surface????

[Ian David]

75. Maybe he just needed someone to tickle his butt so he could overcome his pee shyness. n/t

[itsrobert]

76. JAW DROPPING!

WOW, WHAT A TRAIN WRECK!

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

78. From what I can ascertain from this, the real "crime" is being gay? Did anyone else feel that way?

[soothsayer]

107. yes, you're right. solicting for sex in public ain't no biggie.

[graywarrior]

79. Gee, Mitt musta jumped the gun

[DCKit]

80. Same denial speech. He has no shame.

Both the Republics and the people of Idaho are going to let him go if only for the embarrassment he's brought upon them.

He'll be back to full-time sheep ranching before you can say "Brokeback Mountain".

[davidwparker]

82. "That bitch set me up."

[ecstatic]

83. However, this case isn't about whether or not he is gay

He is not in trouble for being gay. He is in trouble for propositioning a (potentially underaged) under cover cop for sex in a public restroom. His orientation has nothing to do with this.

[dave29]

88. 2000 points for you

n/t

[Jack Bone]

85. watching this feed makes me wanna go listen to Clapton's..

version of "Willie And The Hand Jive"...LOL..

here's a YouTube of the original by Johnny Otis

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEeeGMpM_Nk

:rofl:

[Jack Bone]

96. here's Clapton's version...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZjEpeshZ9o&mode=related&search=

[Whoa_Nelly]

86. Examining the "I am not gay and I have never been gay" statement

Is really saying:

I occasionally seek sex from men in public restrooms as a release valve from the pressures of my job.

Sometimes I flush the john, and sometimes I am the John.

[Ediacara]

87. Sometimes I flush the john, and sometimes I am the John.

[loveangelc]

91. lmao

[partylessinOhio]

94. Is he soup yet? Is Craig toast?

[partylessinOhio]

97. Joe Scarborough just said that when he was working as a rep with Craig's

office he was told by someone that Craig was gay. That he said was some eight years ago. Joe knows.

[Hissyspit]

106. Yeah, but it's pretty creepy for HIM to be talking about the skeletons in a Congressional office's

closet.

[partylessinOhio]

110. I agree! That's not all. On his coffee show, Morning Joe, he said that

he knew for years that Mark Foley was gay. Then he went on and listed many items for gays that Foley voted against. I guess that was to paper it over so it was no big deal. MSNBC needs to can moaning Joe!

[countingbluecars]

115. No kidding!

Scarborough was discussing Craig with gross G. Gordon Liddy this morning, and Liddy said something about Craig breaking the never get caught with a dead woman or a live boy rule. Scarborough almost choked. He stammered for a few seconds before he was able to respond.

[monmouth]

120. Now THAT is hilarious....thanks for posting it...lol.

[yardwork]

128. Oh I wish I'd seen that!

Last time Liddy appears on Joe's show.

[Whoa_Nelly]

99. Damn! I was really hoping to hear a "Jiminy God!" from him

:rofl:

[trof]

101. Dumb. Just Dumb. With a capitol 'D'. And panicked. And cornered.

[partylessinOhio]

102. If a person were a Senator - wouldn't they call their lawyer if they even got

a speeding ticket?

[ChairmanAgnostic]

112. as I read elsewhere,

the senators are the one hundred most powerful law-makers in the country. If he counts himself as a law-maker, you would think he would get it.
sheesh, what an idiot.

[tridim]

135. "I thought maybe we could take care of the in Brainard"

"You know, to be in full compliance."

That's why he didn't seek council.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

109. I am unhappy, I have always been unhappy.

You see? not gay!

What a performance. Does he REALLY think this will work?

[CabalPowered]

111. Replay on CNN now

[BigBearJohn]

113. Reminds me of Clinton: "I did NOT have sex with that woman!"

[quiet.american]

116. I still don't understand his handing over his business card with a "What do you think of that?"

:shrug:

Where did he think he was -- in some 1950's sitcom where the officer would tip his hat and beat a hasty retreat with a "Sorry to have bothered you, sir!"?

[Vinca]

131. IMHO, if he isn't kicked out of the Senate for the arrest,

he should be tossed for being stupid. Very, very stupid. Anyone been over to Freeperland today?:rofl:

[ChairmanAgnostic]

134. hey, he apologized for PLEADING GUILTY TO A CRIME.

not for the acts that led up to it. and he is one of the top 100 makers of law in this country.
