Anybody read “The New Centurions” by Joseph Wambaugh? It describes a vice cop in early 1960s L.A.; memorable scenes of “busting fruits” in public bathrooms. If I recall correctly, 0ne indelible scene involves unwanted solicitation of the guy in the next stall… solicitee was very straight, very annoyed, and happened to be holding a lit cigar…
I just adore these stories. The irony is never lost on me. If he was gay, or bi, it would basically be liberals who would treat him like a human being rather than a “sinner” or subversive or deviant. Basically not act in a judgmental way based on an innate orientation.
If he simply came out normally, I think liberals would treat him equally with respect and acceptance whether he was D or R.
But he didn’t come out normally. He was 1)married, 2) an anti-gay legislator, and 3)busted in a criminal/sleazy act.
By the same token, I think liberals would heap equal mockery on a married Dem or Republican caught in an illegal adulterous heterosexual public sex act.
You guys have it all wrong. Craig did not say “suck your dick?”, he said, “my duck is sick.” Damn you all for heaping trouble on a man going through the emotional turmoil of having a sick duck.
Well wishes can contact Craig while he sucks co…, er, I mean, darns socks.
How am I down 1 nil? I agree with Miles. He doesn’t seem to disagree with me. I think the Congressman is a hypocrite specifically and he made a general comment that I think is true.

I like this “defense”:
Craig stated “that he has a wide stance when going to the bathroom and that his foot may have touched mine,” the report states.
He was “supposed” to be in a seated position according to the undercover cop’s report. Who has a “stance” when they’re supposedly taking a crap??

think about this too
he entered the stall to the left of the officer and it was his left hand that came under the stall….

I’m only bi-curious when I’m hanging around with self-righteous Republicans.

Typical hypocrite…

And just to pile on: CBS station in Sacramento actually does a re-enactment
Oy. This actually counts as part of somebody’s workday.
