How salacious! How sordid! How republican!

--------------
Back in 1982, then-Rep. Craig (R-ID) came forward early in the congressional page sex scandal to deny any role in the scandal.

Reported ABC News' Carol Simpson at the time, "The names of congressman alleged to be involved in the scandal have remained secret. But Idaho Republican Congressman Larry Craig, concerned that his name had been implicated, issued a public denial." ...

1. The funny thing is

he did all that pre-emptively. I'm still trying to figure that whole thing out.

[Philosoraptor]

2. And he was unmarried at the time.

Now of course he has a huge family, with huge family values.

[soothsayer]

7. kids are all adopted? not that there's anything wrong with that

13. Hey it takes a lot of work and $ to build up a credible "beard" story.

[proud2BlibKansan]

17. He's married?

Oh wow, he really is a hypocrite.

[in_cog_ni_to]

19. Yes, he's married and has kids. He had to make that family values

3. Either that was a might big

guilt complex he was hiding or someone let him know they had the goods on him. Nothing ever came of it tho, correct?

[Philosoraptor]

4. Hell I don't know, just heard of it this morning.

Amazing all the sleazy shit in the GOP closet!

[JTFrog]

5. I watched both videos last night

but I haven't followed up to see what came of it. Something interesting to do when I'm bored later, lol :)

[JTFrog]

6. I love the article there

that talks about Romney pulling Craig's pro-Romney video down, lol. Yet another pig they have to distance themselves from.

[seemslikeadream]

8. any one doubt this now?

[Philosoraptor]

9. The unbelievable becomes believable over time, J. Edgar Hoover should know.

[0007]

10. There maybe something to what you're saying, LOL!

[RainDog]

18. dang

I never get to see Gannon's, uh... Scott Baker. Not that I would look or anything.

All these republican scandals about closeted self-hating men... why can't they see what their lies do to other people, if not themselves? Not to mention they become prime targets for blackmail.

Someone should make a group "My Space" page for closeted republicans... have pix of their friends... themselves... hobbies... Craig's could be "spending time cruising airport bathrooms," while, Ted Haggert's could be "buying meth but never snorting it" with his regularly scheduled male prostitute "down" time. All of their wives pix should have them in beards... LOL. anyone have the time for this? could you get sued for something like this if you had a big "parody" notice? It wouldn't even have to be their real wives, just pix of some 1950s females in helmet hair.

watch!
video.google.com — On Tuesday May 3, 1994 this program was scheduled to air on the Discovery Channel. Influential members of congress applied pressure to the cable industry to stop the airing of the program and destroy all copies. The Discovery Channel was reimbursed for the 1/4 to 1/2 million dollars production costs. This is the program they didn't want you to see!

20. Let me guess, his denial went something like this....

"I had nothing to do with anything...but even if I did, I want to make sure you understand..I am not gay. Once again...not gay."
