NRA Board Member and Senate Point Man for Gun Industry, Larry Craig,
Arrested for Solicitation of Gay Sex in Twin Cities Airport Washroom
When it rains NRA Board Member perverts, it pours.
We posted a commentary about the obscene, death-threatening rant of
NRA Board member and troubled rock star Ted Nugent on Friday.
http://www.gunguys.com/#post-2417
After just a guitar lick of time, word comes that NRA Board Member and
United States Senator Larry Craig (a Republican from Idaho and NRA
Board Member since 1983) pleaded guilty to charges of "lewd" behavior
in a Twin Cities airport washroom.
http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/08/27/senator-accused-of-lewd-conduct/
Craig's arrest and legal admission to signaling to an airport police
officer his interest in a little washroom stall gay tryst occurred on
June 11th at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.
Craig copped a plea, paid $500 and was given a 10-day suspended
sentence. As of August 8th, he is on a year's probation.
Long a nemesis against preventing gun violence in America, Craig has
been a lead supporter of all the Republican demagogic calls to "family
values," not to mention being the NRA's point man on Capitol Hill and
a vocal Board Member.
According to his biographical information, "Craig is married and has
adopted the three children that his wife, Suzanne, had from her
previous marriage - her two sons Mike and Jay, and her daughter, Shae.
Through his adopted children, Craig has nine grandchildren."
Wikipedia notes that "The American Conservative Union gave Craig's
2005 voting record 96 points out of 100. The liberal Americans for
Democratic Action gave him 15."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Craig
"After he was arrested," according to Roll Call, Craig, who is
married, was taken to the Airport Police Operations Center to be
interviewed about the lewd conduct incident, according to the police
report. http://www.rollcall.com/issues/1_1/breakingnews/19763-1.html
At one point during the interview, Craig handed the plainclothes
sergeant who arrested him a business card that identified him as a
U.S. Senator and said, 'What do you think about that?' the report
states."
Yes Sir Senator!
Nothing like gay sex in airport washroom stalls for a staunch anti-gay
"family man" hypocrite!
Maybe, Senator Craig should hang out with Republican Florida State
Representative Bob Allen, who recently twice received the
BuzzFlash.com GOP Hypocrite of the Week Award for soliciting an
undercover police officer to provide the cop with fellatio for $20.00!
http://www.gophypocrites.com/2007/08/hyp07032.html
But the real travesty and hypocrisy in Craig's action (and you can bet
the bank that this wasn't his first such encounter) is that he
represents all those gay-bashing he-men gun guys, while he helps run
the NRA and prevents life-saving gun control bills from being passed
up on Capitol Hill.
Little did we know that he was trolling men's washrooms for a little
bit of sex between flights and gun lobby fundraising dinners target
shoots.
Senator Larry Craig certainly gives a new meaning to the cry of so
many enthusiasts, "happiness is a warm gun."
For his part, Craig claimed, once that Roll Call -- more than a month
later -- "exposed" the June guilty plea, that it was all a
misunderstanding and -- oh those wily anti-attorney Republicans --
that he should have gotten a lawyer before he pleaded guilty.
Say what?
So if you are a homophobe NRA member (which we suspect is about 99% of
the group), make sure that you aren't in a bathroom stall next to
Larry Craig at the next "red meat" association convention.
Because apparently Larry Craig is more interested in shooting off your
gun than you think.
Craig is up for re-election in 2008.
