Question about Sen. Craig's arrest
Advertisements [?]
Despite what he says, I think it's pretty darn clear what he was doing in that bathroom - soliciting anonymous sex. That said, exactly what crime was committed? As far as I can tell, he didn't expose himself (other than being a fucktard hypocrite). There were no sex acts committed. As far as I can tell, the only thing that occurred were a few "signals" that are generally "understood" by the "anonymous gay sex community" - stuff like tapping feet, hand gestures, etc.

As satisfying as it is to see yet another "family values" rethug exposed as a pervert, is there anything genuinely wrong with what he did? Seems to me, that if I were in his shoes, I wouldn't have pled guilty so quickly.

Maybe there's something I'm missing?
