If the guy is a freak ok but this did not prove anything to me except that maybe there is a chance he wanted to do something maybe? When did he offer or accept? I tend to lean to the right but have never really heard of this guy. I am for law and order but there seems to be alot of speculation here. This seems like too much left to the imagination. Do we now live in a world or country that it is ok for the govt to ruin someones life or career for touching someones shoe while using the toilet?

Acording to the arresting officer, Craig showed him a business card showing he was a Senator, then said, "What do you think of that?" as if that would make the cop stand down. Maybe the cop should've said, "Notmuch" or "You're busted" or "I think you're a closet homosexual". Obviously Craig was hoping his power would kow the cop. Those days of lawless republicans getting away with their slimey corruption are OVER!! Maybe the cop should've said that...

The real irony is that Idaho is probably the most devoutly Republican state in the nation. In 2004, they voted for Bush by a larger percentage than any other, and Bush even made a special trip there to thank the state for their support. Coming at the same time as the resignations of Rove, Snow, and Gonzales (not to mention the numerous other "outings" of hypocritical gay republicans in recent history), this is the last thing their party needs. Once again, the Republicans are their own worst enemies. Good job, Mr Craig.

Carrie he pled to disorderly conduct. If hes a "freak" he is a "freak" just does not sound like enough to secure a conviction on. "bb" not ok just curious about what an officer needs to arrest some one in a toilet. Sounds like he pissed the cop off and suffered for it. In my youth I talked too much and got one mad at me. It was like his life long ambition to cause me greif after that. Maybe I'm the only one that even though I am pretty conservative does not have total blind faith in law enforcement. JUST SO EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS if the guy was trying to get head in the head he has no business being a Sen. He needs to resign and go HOME. However he does deserve fairness when it comes to the police....

Maybe you reach halfway into the stall next door to innocently nudge the foot of the next door occupant,
like the esteemed Senator, but most of us don't.

And then when you get the nudge back, you put your hand onto the other side palm up in hopes of receiving a handshake or maybe just for a friendly wave. Or maybe you know guys that are expecting something else to be put in their open hand.

Well believe it or not, that is not the norm here in Tx and probably not in any of the other 49 states.

This is more than not the first recorded incident. Last year a gay "outing" advocate accused him of having engaged is homosexual acts with a high profile
Republican at of all places, Union Station.(I think they must secretly want to get caught) Sorry, I cant immediately get my hands on his web site cite. The other guy revealed the circumstances, but even though some media carried the allegation, even in his hometown paper, it was squashed for lack of corroboration, whatever that could possibly mean in this context. Another guy in the stall with them???

Also, it has been widely reported that he was "implicated" in a previous Congressional page scandal like that of Foley in 1982, but they could nor come up in that situation with direct evidence either.

My guess is the Repugs better shut this down quick and get him to resign before some affected pages come out of the woodwork a la Foley.

It's the whole hypocrisy of this, and other similar scandals that seems to have got people so riled up. And people like this give gay people a bad name!
This senator has made a living out of promoting his "family values" and attacking gay people. Yet there he is, engaging in perhaps the most dangerous as well as distasteful of gay sex: anonymous sex with strangers in a public restroom.
If this were an isolated incident, it would be one thing. But this is becoming commonplace amongst those who rail most loudly against gays.
I just hope that in the very near future, gay bashing by any public figure, especially one seeking election will actually be seen as a warning sign of a self-hating latent homosexual!

I participate in this kind of activity regularly, so everything the officer says happened does happen. the issue here is Entrapment! the officer needs to get the offender to play. im sure the officer wasn't just sitting there doing nothing. Tapping a foot finger under the stall even touching feet these things do happen even in Innocent situations but also as a come on to having sex. again the issue here is entrapment. with all the serious problems going on in this country, only the homophobic of us would really care. Do the police do sting operation in straight bars lots of sex goes on in bathrooms there. The government has no business pretending to break the law to entrap someone into breaking the law. and many times the officer will embellish the truth just to get a conviction or plead it down to a lesser charge. clearly what happened here. STINGS ARE ENTRAPMENT! but Judges just will not rule against the police in these matters, just for the sake of making their job easer not in the name of justice and the bill of rights.
