I’m sorry but I could not resist the temptation of posting the exploits of yet another man who has simultaneous destroyed his political career and likely his family because his dick obviously ran his life.
Kansas Attorney General Paul Morrison resigns.

The KC Buzz Blog has Morrison’s full statement. I did not read it, but c’mon you know what dude said, wanna bet how many times he uses God? LOL! 

Let me say, being a man in all, that I certainly have come close to sacrificing what was good for me for what could be described as a little more than some cheap male ego massaging.

However, I have never been able to figure out why some seemingly well rounded dudes, dudes who have so much going for them either personally or professionally will destroy their lives all because of a marginal piece of ass. Not even a great piece of ass.

Let’s see; AG’s office, good gig, lots of respect, Democrat hero, good reputation, bright political future… er uh hmmmm…. marginal piece of ass…. good gig…. marginal piece of ass. wow.

It’s not like dudes are sacrificing business or political careers over chicks who look like Halle Berry or Jessica Biel, hell even a walking white trash tard like Brittany Spears.

The first thing I wanted to know when this story broke in the Topeka Capital Journal last week, was I want to see a picture, man she better be slammin’ LOL!

This is her in the photo. Yawn…

Mrs. Snoop said the lady in question was described as a curvaceous blonde, flirty, who liked to wear tight clothes and liked the big Texas hairdos. Yup those women in those tight clothes they will fuck a brotha up every time.

So now Kansas Democrats are in mourning, they are devastated because Morrison jumped over to the Democrat side and won over the abortion Jihadist Phil Kline as did our Lieutenant Governor.
Basically here in Kansas we have three parties Democrats, Moderate Republicans, and the Extreme Right. This is why although I could unify the party, could restore order, would make a great candidate for damm near anything I stay clear of the Republicans here, they are just fucked up, hopelessly unorganized and unfocused and most would remind you of Sam Brownback, likely one of the top five politicians in America that I am totally embarrassed that they are in the Republican Party. Kansas has an entire state of these crazy zealot rednecks.

I remember going to the first Yearly Kos convention when the party switching was going down and the libs there were so curious about Kansas Politics and gleeful at the apparent demise of the Republican Party in Kansas.

Kline is vilified here in Kansas you can check out more about that in this post by El Borak. Here is more stuff

But back to the sex thingy, this is a question for the dudes, is there actually pussy out there that is so great that you would sacrifice everything for a few minutes (well in Morrison’s case multiple few minute sessions) for a piece of ass?

I have see a lot of very pretty women in my lifetime, some with bangin bodies, tight asses, impressive sweater cows (or as one friend calls them “fun bags”) and the business suit clad chicks that stroll through airports (I love women in business
suits.)
But I swear, I have yet to see a woman that I thought was so incredible that I was willing to sacrifice everything to engage in some headboard destruction.

Now the libs are mortified. Check out this entry from a lib blogger: Link

I’m sick at heart, but I don’t see anything else Morrison could do.As one of the most visible Democrats in the state, Morrison was helping to lead the charge against the religious right. He was also helping to push the state out of more than a century of Republican domination and into the blue column.

Having Morrison associated with the Democratic Party would have given Republicans and social conservatives an issue to rally behind. It would have sucked the air out of the Democratic resurgence.

Right now, I just want to cry. I voted for Morrison. I defended him on this blog. I saw him as a leader who could turn Kansas away from the blindly incompetent, abortion-obsessed regime of Phill Kline. I saw him as someone who could make the office of attorney general work for all Kansans — not just those who shared one narrow religious viewpoint.

Ok now don’t you think I’m trying to be highbrow about this, I have had countless “god damm” moments after seeing a smoking female. But I have this weird tick;  as turned on as I may be at that moment I’m thinking I bet that bitch is crazy. Especially here in Larryville when I see a nice looking female and some dude is draped all over her and won’t let go. I’m thinking “needy” and I bet she makes dude fix her breakfast in bed.

Anywho, another man bites the dust at the hand of another skank. (She was married and cheating on her husband) so skank is appropriate.

So if you dudes out there are going out this weekend, be careful, if you are in a relationship, don’t let a pair of impressive sweater cows cause you to lose focus and potentially cost you a good solid relationship, a bunch of dead presidents and good ole hard earned respect. Something that is so elusive for so many men these days.

I found this on the blog: Come back to what you know Ok I have a really weird sense of humor, but when I read this I was left with kind of this blank lost look. This is one of those examples where you just say to yourself, man this world is just fucked, the globe is just spinning down the proverbial toilet chasing after a huge log (sorry if your eating lunch right now on the left coast), but hey reading about a dude fucking a bicycle is about on par with the dude marrying a damm dog!

A guy has been found guilty of a crime. What crime I hear you ask?

Murder? Rape? Theft?Nope… he tried to have sex with his bicycle.

Jesus Christ, I hear you exclaim after you finished laughing, why would someone do that, especially in public?

Well actually he was in a locked hostel room. The cleaners used a master key to get into the room and then the manager of the hostel called the police when they reported what they had seen to him.

My first thought was… why on Earth would someone call the police over an incident like this? Sure I’d have thought the manager might have thrown the guy out for upsetting his staff. But the police? If I encountered someone privately having sex with an inanimate object, calling the police wouldn’t even cross my mind, unless they were doing it in a public place with no respect for those who might see them. Would the manager have called the police if it was a woman in bed with a vibrator?

And then my second thought… why did the police arrest him rather than simply move him along with an embarrassed smirk? Surely they have better things to do than protect a mans bike from inappropriate sexual attention.

And then I saw the punishment… three years on the sex offenders register! Why?? Are they scared he might start making love to other peoples bicycles? Perhaps they are worried this is an entry level sexual crime… next thing you know he might be doing cars! BUSES! Don’t let this guy near one of those vacuuming street cleaners.

All in all an embarrassing, if quite amusing, incident has come to cost us, the taxpayer, money for the arrest and prosecution of a man whose actions, while stupid and bizarre, weren’t going to harm anyone else.

Trust me if doing stupid and bizarre stuff that might embarrass (but not significantly harm) others is now illegal then I’ve got a whole list of customers I’d love to turn in to the law. And it’s a very long list. I may need a whole courtroom set aside for the prosecutions for the next few years.

In Thomas DeFrank’s book “Write It When I’m Gone” based on 16 years of conversations with former Pres. Gerald Ford which he promised not to publish until after the ex-president’s death, Ford called Bill Clinton a sex addict in denial.

CBS Employee Wanted Sex For Dolphins Tickets, Ron Paul would be outraged!

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. (link) — A CBS-TV employee is accused of soliciting sex from an 11-year-old girl in exchange for tickets to a Miami Dolphins football game, police said.Daniel Barron, 56, was arrested and charged with solicitation to commit sexual battery on a child under the age of 12 Saturday.

Police said Barron, a CBS sports television producer, chatted on the Internet with an undercover detective who was posing as a father willing to let Barron have sex with his 11-year-old daughter as well as sleep nude with her in exchange for tickets to the Miami Dolphins football game Sunday.

According to a police report, Barron told the undercover officer that he was looking forward to meeting the daughter, allegedly telling the detective, “I will be very gentle with her.”

St. Lucie County Sheriff Ken Mascara said that Barron was arrested when he went to meet the people he thought would be the father and daughter in the parking lot of a Ft. Lauderdale hotel on Saturday.

“The first instant message was Saturday afternoon,” Mascara said. “The arrest took place that night with the assistance and participation of the Broward Sheriff’s Office, Fort Lauderdale Police Department and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Their work on this case was invaluable.”

According to a police report, after his arrest, Barron admitted to also using his CBS-owned computer to download and exchange child porn. He told police his computer could be found in a TV production truck located at Miami Dolphins Stadium, authorities said.

Detective Neil Spector with the St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Office started the investigation by posing as the father of the girl and chatting the first time with Barron, police said.

Barron is currently being held at the Broward County Jail on $75,000 bond.

Spector was critical in another Internet investigation last month when a Nevada couple tried to get who they thought was a 15-year-old girl to run away to Las Vegas to be the husband’s sex partner. Wesley Evans, 39, and Jennifer Evans, 33, were sentenced to 15 and 10 years in prison, respectively, after they were convicted of soliciting sex from a minor over the Internet.

What the fuck did you sexual deviants not get the memo that if you are chatting with a kid on the internet, it’s likely to be law enforcement?

Is the lure of molesting a kid worth the risk? I guess when you are a sick fuck common sense goes out the window.

FAT ASS RACIST! After all this is Kansas

Tonganoxie, Kansas (from Lawrence Journal World) — Tonganoxie Mayor Mike Vestal admitted Friday to sending an e-mail containing the picture of a naked woman and a racist joke to several individuals. He offered to resign his position as mayor, if that is what residents wish.“Oh my God, oh my God. You’ve got to be kidding me. Oh, Lord have mercy,” Vestal said this afternoon when a Journal-World reporter showed him a copy of the e-mail that was sent from his account.

The e-mail opened with the words, “Next Monday is National Female Breast Appreciation Day.” It then showed a picture of a woman and her naked breasts. Underneath the picture were the words, “Beats the fuck out of Martin Luther King Day! Doesn’t It?”

Vestal admitted to sending the e-mail Aug. 31 from his account to a “couple of guys.” He inadvertently sent it to a 6News reporter, and that is how the Journal-World obtained the e-mail.

Vestal apologized to Tonganoxie residents for any embarrassment, and said the e-mail’s content did not represent his beliefs.

“This is something I don’t usually do,” said Vestal, although he stopped short of saying this was the first time he had ever forwarded such an e-mail message. “I should have just deleted it.

“I apologize. I hope people will forgive me. I’m proud of what I do for the city. I don’t know how I’m going to make it up to the people. It will never happen again.

“If the citizens want me to resign, I will resign. It was a bad error in judgment.”

Tonganoxie Councilman Jim Truesdell said Friday that he was shocked by the e-mail.

“That’s obviously wrong,” Truesdell said of the e-mail’s content. “But it is even worse that it mocks Martin Luther King Day and women. It is obviously distasteful.”

Vestal, who was elected in April, works for an answering service that is owned by his wife. The service also has a contract with the city of Tonganoxie to function as the dispatch service for the Tonganoxie Police Department. Vestal sent the e-mail from a computer that he owns, and from an e-mail account that he pays for, he said. But it is the e-mail account that is listed as his official point of contact as the city’s mayor.

Tonganoxie city employees are required to sign an agreement that prohibits employees to “knowingly communicate, download, or forward anything that might be construed as harassing, hostile or offensive based on ethnicity, race, sex, disability, age, religion or national origin.”

Vestal said he never had seen the agreement before, and it was unclear whether he is subject to the agreement as either the city’s mayor or an employee of a contractor that does business with the city.

Vestal said he did not know how many people he sent the e-mail to. The e-mail obtained by the Journal-World did not list the addresses of the recipients, but used a function that hid the addresses from view. Vestal also declined to say who sent him the e-mail, although he said that person was not involved in city government.

Truesdell said the community now would have to decide whether to stand behind its mayor. Truesdell said he was inclined to support Vestal, whom he called a good leader that treated council members fairly.

“I would hate to see him resign or be removed from office. I think he has done a lot of good for the community,” Truesdell said. “But it probably will be up to the people. I could see a lot of people objecting on a lot of different fronts to having someone like that in office.

“But I really don’t think that is Mike Vestal. I don’t think that is who he is.”

Councilman Tom Putthoff declined to comment on the e-mail until he had a chance to discuss it with Vestal. Attempts to reach other council members were unsuccessful.

Mayor says he’ll keep job despite risqué mail

I’ve been too busy laughing at this mess to say what I really think. Captain Ed’s previous post on this issue focused on the central issue, why throw Craig under the bus and leave Vitter alone.

Frankly this is Republican hypocrisy, and what they are doing to dude is despicable.
Normally I have little sympathy for old white dudes, particularly old white politicians because they operate in their own little world and portray themselves as being above society.

Craig should not resign, he should just say fuckem, he should force the Republicans to boot his ass out and make these hypocritical pricks go on the record in condemning him.

Now don’t get me wrong, soliciting sex from a toilet bowl is creepy, and Craig himself is a fucken hypocrite too, with his “Clinton is a bad boy” comments. But frankly all of these old white dudes are a bunch of crooked, conniving sexual deviants.
The Republican Party will not be able to govern effectively until the entire old guard moron posse is (flushed), out by the voters.

 BOISE, Idaho (AP) - One of Sen. Larry Craig’s lawyers said Wednesday the Senate has no business looking into the conduct of one of its own following Craig’s guilty plea in connection with an airport men’s room sex sting.

An unbroken line of precedents dating back 220 years makes clear the Senate does not consider misdemeanor private conduct to be a fit subject of inquiry, asserted Washington attorney Stan Brand.

“We ought to seek to have the committee dismiss this outright,” Brand said of a Senate ethics panel’s investigation. “The Republican leadership called for an ethics investigation that had nothing to do with his office,” said Brand on NBC’s “Today” show.

Craig says he may still fight for his Senate seat, a spokesman says - if the lawmaker can clear his name with the Senate ethics panel and a Minnesota court.

The Republican lawmaker, who has represented Idaho for 27 years, announced Saturday that he intended to resign.

“It’s not such a foregone conclusion anymore that the only thing he could do was resign,” Sidney Smith, Craig’s spokesman in Idaho’s capital, told The Associated Press on Tuesday.

“We’re still preparing as if Senator Craig will resign Sept. 30, but the outcome of the legal case in Minnesota and the ethics investigation will have an impact on whether we’re able to stay in the fight - and stay in the Senate,” Smith said.   (more)

Captain Ed has a good point, commenting on Craig’s potential boot in butt out of the Senate.

(post link) if the (Republican) party wants to start drawing these lines, then one has to wonder why David Vitter isn’t getting the same push.

He didn’t plead guilty in court, but unlike Craig, he openly admits he broke the law and solicited prostitutes. Others serving in Congress at the moment have pleaded guilty to misdemeanors of more import than disorderly conduct without being forced to resign.

 If morality and credibility are at issue, why isn’t Vitter being held to that standard? It’s either that Louisiana’s Democratic governor would appoint a Democrat in his place, or that Vitter’s transgressions involved heterosexual sex and therefore are less objectionable.

Craig will depart soon, and these questions will fade away eventually. However, people will wonder whether the GOP decided to argue for standards in public officials, or whether they just found it easy to use Craig without endangering their political balance in the Senate.

I found the following on Talking Points Memo, via Outside the Beltway.

C’mon people; is it me, or is this society getting cruder, morally bankrupt and just plain sicker each and every damm day.
I swear until this Craig mess I had no clue about this sicko culture of bathroom perusing fudge packing creeps.
Noooooo, going to a nice bar and having a normal conversation with the hook-up of your choice whether opposite sex or same sex is apparently not enough.
The lure of inhaling the stench of human excrement and the hand touching of another nasty ass germ infested bathroom troll is I guess the new aphrodisiac.

As this post does point out, that God for the internet, the masses can at least be aware of, avoid and be on the lookout for society’s biggest weirdoes.

According to an article in today’s Minneapolis-St. Paul Star Tribune, more avid web readership might have saved Sen. Larry Craig’s (R-ID) career.

As a number of TPM Reader/Google sleuths have been telling us, there are sites out there that rate different public sex bathrooms around the country. One of them sounds sort of like it’s the Zagat’s of gay public restroom sex. And that bathroom at the Minneapolis airport is like the Spago of sex bathrooms.

In any case, this from the Strib reporters …

Another Web site lists Twin Cities-area malls, parks, health clubs and even a “cruisy toilet” at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds. Many postings list the best times to go and give graphic reviews of the venues.An airport bathroom, specifically one near a shoeshine stand behind the ticket counter, generated the most comments until Web-site users posted warnings in June that men were getting arrested there. Craig was arrested shortly after noon on June 11 in the main men’s public restroom of the North Star Crossing in the Lindbergh Terminal.

It’s not clear from the article exactly which review web site they’re referring to or whether the warnings about the sting showed up in advance of Craig’s June 11th arrest. But it seems that closer scrutiny of the web and available ratings sites could have kept Craig from his rendezvous with destiny.

Frank says Craig should serve out term, he should know…

By Bill Dedman
Washington Post Staff Writer - Link
August 27, 1989

Prostitute and pimp Stephen L. Gobie settled in with his “girls” in his Georgetown town house one evening in late 1987 to watch “The Mayflower Madam” on television. As Candice Bergen portrayed upscale madam Sydney Biddle Barrows, Gobie’s companions had an idea.

“The girls turned to me and said, ‘You’re just like her,’ ” Gobie recalled in an interview yesterday. “That’s when I realized that I was in the middle of a developing story that could be worth something someday. I told them, ‘One day, don’t be surprised if you see me on TV.’ “

Gobie’s dream has come true. His accusation that Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) knew that Gobie had operated a prostitution service out of Frank’s Capitol Hill apartment became national news after it was first reported Friday by the Washington Times.

Frank, one of two openly gay members of Congress, confirmed Friday that he paid Gobie for sex, hired him with personal funds as an aide and wrote letters on congressional stationery on his behalf to Virginia probation officials, but Frank said he fired Gobie when he learned that clients were visiting the apartment.

Frank, a leading House liberal, likened himself to Henry Higgins, who in “Pygmalion” tries to transform a cockney waif into a member of English society. Gobie dismissed that as “garbage.” “This is not the case of the poor waif who is being sheltered,” Gobie said. “This was the first time he felt good in a relationship. Here’s a guy who didn’t have a social life until he was 45.”

Gobie’s craving for public attention also has produced an uproar in Montgomery County. Gobie said he maintained a relationship with Gabriel A. Massaro, the principal of Chevy Chase Elementary School, and used an office at the school in late 1987 to make telephone calls and have one client meet a prostitute.

Massaro, who has been placed on administrative leave, has been unavailable for comment.

Gobie said his motive was largely financial. Gobie had offered his story to WUSA-TV (Channel 9), then the Washington Times. Later he came to The Washington Post, saying he was looking “to start a bidding war” for “a better offer” than the Washington Times made. He and the Times say he was not paid.

Gobie also said he wants “to show up people in positions of power who abuse other people.”

Gobie expressed no regret for any damage done to the careers of Frank and Massaro.

Although Frank and Gobie differ in some details of their relationship, they agree on the story line. They met on April Fool’s Day 1985. The representative answered a classified ad in the Washington Blade, the local gay weekly. “Exceptionally good-looking, personable, muscular athlete is available. Hot bottom plus large endowment equals a good time.”

Then in his third term, the 45-year-old representative had not yet stated his homosexuality publicly. He paid Gobie $80 in cash for sex.

Gobie, then 28, was one of many young men “freelancing” in male prostitution. Gobie said he was born in Boston and grew up in a military family. He has felony convictions for possession of cocaine, oral sodomy and production of obscene items involving a juvenile.

Gobie and Frank say they became more friends than sexual partners. Gobie says he attended a bill-signing at the White House, and helped coach and played left field for Frank’s team in the Congressional Softball League. “I was the star player,” Gobie said.

Frank began to help Gobie financially, paying his attorney and court-ordered psychiatrist. The House member also said he hired Gobie as a personal aide, housekeeper and driver, but Gobie said that was a “cover story” concocted for probation officers.

In late 1985, Gobie says, he began to use Frank’s apartment and two other locations for prostitution. Frank knew about the prostitution all along, but it was never explicitly discussed, Gobie says.

“He knew exactly what I was doing,” Gobie said. “It was pretty obvious. If he had to come home early {from work}, he would call home to be sure the coast was clear . . . . He was living vicariously through me. He said it was kind of a thrill, and if he had been 20 years younger he might be doing the same thing.”

Frank denies that he knew, saying he learned from his landlord and kicked Gobie out in August 1987. Gobie supports this part of Frank’s story.

Gobie said his disclosures are only beginning. “I think I’ll just slap a book together. Sydney Biddle Barrows made in excess of a million. I thought ‘Capitol Offenses’ would be a nice title.”

Here are ten of the most infamous Washington sex scandals

.

June 19, 1954: A weary Sen. Lester C. Hunt (D.-Wyo) walked his Senate office.  At 61, the former Wyoming governor was serving his first term in the Senate and was by far his party’s strongest candidate to win the seat again — critical to his party, as the Senate was almost evenly split, with 48 Democrats, 47 Republicans, and one Independent.  But Hunt was being blackmailed — reportedly even by one of his colleagues: if he ran again, Hunt was told not so subtly, the hitherto secret police report that the senator’s son had been arrested for soliciting sex from an undercover police detective in Washington DC’s Lafayette Square the year before would be made public. 

That evening, in his office, the distraught Hunt took his own life with a self-inflicted gunshot wound.  Published reports at the time said that Hunt’s suicide resulted “because he had cancer,” as Facts on File for 1954 says.  Seasoned Capitol Hill political reporters such as Allen Drury knew better and Hunt’s dark secret, while known to colleagues and those who covered them, remained that. 

But a few years later, when Drury wrote his epic political novel Advise and Consent, the Hunt tragedy is moved to fiction, sort of:  Sen. Brigham Anderson (R.-UT.), war hero and U.S. Senator from Utah (Drury never mentions political parties in A&C, but a senator from Utah would almost certainly have to be a conservative Republican), is being blackmailed to vote for a controversial nominee for secretary of state with the story that he had a relationship with a buddy in the military while stationed overseas in World War II.  Shaken by this and what the news will do to his wife and young daughter, Anderson takes his own life in his Senate office with a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

More “Larry WIDE STANCE Craig” posts -  Gay Patriot has an interesting piece on the Craig mess too: Larry Craig Story–Fitting the Media Mantra on Social Conservatives - Found via the blog: Hip Hop Republicans

So I’ve been traveling since 4am on Tuesday. So as I spent yesterday away from TV and the internet, the most I knew about the world was that both Sen. Larry Craig and QB Michael Vick had admitted guilt for respective crimes. End of story (for now), I assumed.And then last night at a work event, I turned to a colleague who is also politically-connected and asked, “So what do you think about Larry Craig?” He just shook his head and said, “Wasn’t his press conference today unbelieveable?”
My jaw dropped.“No he did NOT!”, I protested. My friend: “Oh yes he did. He must have said ‘I’m not gay’ three times.”“No he did NOT!”, I said. This time I continued: “And let me guess, his wife was standing next to him?” Well, of course!

I just shook my head. “So by the end of the week, I bet he is an alcoholic, goes to rehab, and was molested by his priest,” I deduced. Unreal. Click link above for more.

Is this some sort of weird gay bathroom sex code ritual that I have managed to miss?

Damm am I going to have to be on the lookout for men’s restroom weirdoes trolling toilet stalls? Damm, taking a shit in a public restroom is hard enough and in the majority of cases grosses me the hell out because way too many of you people are a bunch of nasty ass bastards and I bet Craig didn’t even wash his nasty ass hands. U sick bastard!

Michelle on the Larry Craig bathroom feet touching saga

Update: The Idaho Statesman has two detailed articles. The first recaps the Minnesota incident. The second is a five-month investigative piece into Craig’s past alleged acts of indecency and solicitation dating back to 1982, when an underage page made allegations that he had had sex with three House members.

ABC News has the docs from the Minnesota incident.

Any takers on a Larry Craig Resignation Date/Time Betting Pool?

***

What a weasel.

He plays the “Don’t you know who I am?” game by whipping out his Senate business card. He pleads guilty. Then he blames the police for misunderstanding him and “misconstruing” all his bathroom antics.

Bleccch.

Let me amend my reaction. He’s not just a weasel.

He’s a lying crapweasel.

Should he resign? Well, yeah. If he cared about the dignity of his office, he would. But he obviously doesn’t, does he?

Found the following on Kos:  - Idaho Statesman article:Men’s room arrest reopens questions about Sen. Larry Craig

In an interview on May 14, Craig told the Idaho Statesman he’d never engaged in sex with a man or solicited sex with a man. The Craig interview was the culmination of a Statesman investigation that began after a blogger accused Craig of homosexual sex in October. Over five months, the Statesman examined rumors about Craig dating to his college days and his 1982 pre-emptive denial that he had sex with underage congressional pages.The most serious finding by the Statesman was the report by a professional man with close ties to Republican officials. The 40-year-old man reported having oral sex with Craig at Washington’s Union Station, probably in 2004. The Statesman also spoke with a man who said Craig made a sexual advance toward him at the University of Idaho in 1967 and a man who said Craig “cruised” him for sex in 1994 at the REI store in Boise. The Statesman also explored dozens of allegations that proved untrue, unclear or unverifiable….

In the hourlong May 14 interview, Craig was accompanied by his wife, Suzanne. He specifically and generally denied ever engaging in any homosexual conduct.

During that interview, the Statesman played Craig an audiotape of the man claiming that he and Craig had sex in the Union Station restroom. Like the Minnesota airport restroom, the Union Station restroom is known as a place where men can find anonymous sex.

Craig denied the man’s account and said, “I am not gay and I have never been in a restroom in Union Station having sex with anybody.

“There’s a very clear bottom line here,” Craig said. “I don’t do that kind of thing. I am not gay, and I never have been.”

Craig’s accuser spoke to the Statesman on the condition he not be named. The man said he was sure it was Craig he had oral sex with but said he had no evidence other than his word.

Craig also denied the claims of the two other men that he made sexual advances to them.

One man, who was considering pledging with Craig’s fraternity at the U of I in 1967, said Craig took him to his room and made what the man said he took to be an invitation to sex. Responding to that allegation in May, Craig said, “I don’t hit on any men.”

Another man said that in November 1994 Craig “cruised” him at the REI store in Boise. The man, who is gay, told the Statesman that Craig stared at him in a sexually inviting way and followed him around REI for a half-hour. Said Craig: “Once again, I’m not gay, and I don’t cruise, and I don’t hit on men. I have no idea how he drew that conclusion. A smile? Here is one thing I do out in public: I make eye contact, I smile at people, they recognize me, they say, ‘Oh, hi, Senator.’ Or, ‘Do I know you?’

“I’ve been in this business 27 years in the public eye here. I don’t go around anywhere hitting on men, and by God, if I did, I wouldn’t do it in Boise, Idaho! Jiminy!”….
