Tappy Toes Larry Craig Behaving Like a Democrat is the perfect argument for term limits

October 6, 2007

Now this Craig idiot, guilty or not, did plead guilty, yet the point being

he is a fine example and excellent argument why term limits are so

desperately needed to clean house in Washington. Further, it's not whether

or not Craig is gay- no one cares, nor it's not that his seat will change

parties- this is unlikely. What it is, this fool has been in Washington so

long, he wants to argue what "WAS" should have been- something he should

have thought of when accepting his guilty status. In reality, Craig's lust

to remain in power is his overwhelming concern, not his word, nor not that

he's changed his word on this topic many times over- thereby Clintonized

himself. And now Craig is both an embarrassment to himself -his family too

and also to the institutions of congress.

As if Larry Craig isn't a great example why term limits time has come, I

believe if the majority of congress were exposed, there'd be overwhelming

similar examples why this country would be better off if these decision

makers were essentially a product of American society, not American society

a product of career politicians. Just look at teddy Chappiquiddick kennedy

as another fine example what career politicians morph into!

He didn't even flush the toilet.

When he exited the bathroom stall, Senator Larry Craig never flushed the

toilet. As my kids would say when they were little, that certainly suggests

he didn't have to go.

So what was he doing peering into someone else's stall for long enough that

the officer was able to see he had blue eyes? Why did he wait for the

adjoining stall to be empty when there were plenty of others available? What

was he doing tapping his foot and waving his hand underneath the divider

between the stalls? Certainly not going to the bathroom.

Larry Craig must think the people of Idaho are fools. He certainly has no

problem lying to them, and the rest of us. Maybe it's all those years in

Congress that have left him thinking he can get away with anything he wants.

After the media - Roll Call in particular - disclosed that Craig had pleaded

guilty to cruising for sex in a men's room at the Minneapolis airport, the

distinguished gentleman from Idaho announced he would resign as of September

30.

Then he changed his mind and said he was going to try to withdraw his guilty

plea and would hold off on resigning until the judge reached a decision on

that issue.

On Thursday, the judge reached a decision. To the surprise of no one who

knows anything about criminal law, Judge Porter of the Minneapolis Superior

Court concluded there was absolutely no basis for Senator Craig to withdraw

his plea, no new evidence of anything, no showing that he'd been coerced by

the prosecutors or police to plead guilty, nothing approaching the proof of

a "manifest injustice" that would allow the plea to be withdrawn.

So now Craig has changed his mind again. Now, he's decided that even though

he lost in court and has as much chance of winning on appeal as I do of

winning the lottery (I don't even buy tickets) he's going to serve out his

term for the good of the people of Idaho.

Liar, liar, pants on fire.

The best thing he could do for the people of Idaho, and the rest of us, is

spare us the embarrassment of what's to come next. Just what we need is an

ethics hearing on the mechanics of bathroom pickups.

What the fuck is wrong with you.

Why any thinking person believes that replacing one

politician with another politician solves anything is

mind-boggling.

The purpose of having a "politician" in the first

place---is to DO "political things"----among which is

represent a constituency.

Why in fuck would you send "another green politician"

to try and leverage YOUR intrests in a system that

cannot be altered to any degree?

You're really describing an irrational argument that

wants YOUR politician to be "okay"----but get rid of

ALL those politicians YOU don't agree with-----IOW

"someone else's"

Actually, Zippy the Clown, it's the hypocrisy of an anti-gay stance

by a man who smokes cock. Do try and keep up... <laughing>
