The Larry Craig Crapper Case

Not as juicy as the blog accounts, but this is how the MSM covers Craig's cock-sucks:

"Idaho newspaper reports men's stories of sex with Craig; 4 go on record about senator" by Associated Press December 3, 2007

BOISE - Eight men said they either had sex with Senator Larry Craig or were targets of his sexual advances at various times during the Idaho Republican's political career, a newspaper reported yesterday. One of the men is the former escort whose allegations disgraced the Rev. Ted Haggard, former president of the National Association of Evangelicals, the Idaho Statesman reported.

The newspaper identified four men and reported details of the encounters they say involved Craig. It also reported the accounts of four other men who did not agree to be identified but who described sexual advances or encounters involving Craig.

Craig pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct earlier this year after being accused by an undercover officer of soliciting sex at the Minneapolis-St. Paul airport. The conservative politician later called a news conference to deny that he is gay.

The newspaper acknowledged that its report was not based on definitive evidence. However, it said its investigation, including a review of travel and property records and background checks, found no evidence to disprove the accounts of the four identified men.

Craig and members of his staff declined to comment to the newspaper.

The senator, in a statement e-mailed to the Associated Press yesterday, said the newspaper's report was "completely false" and he accused the paper of careless journalism:

"It is unfortunate that the Idaho Statesman has chosen to continue to lower itself to the standards of what can best be described as tabloid journalism. Despite the fact the Idaho Statesman has decided to pursue its own agenda and print these falsehoods without any facts to back them up, I won't let this paper's attempt to malign my name stop me from continuing my work to serve the people of Idaho."

Whatta a LYING SHITSCUM!!!!!!


Amid pressure from top GOP leaders in Washington, Craig announced after the Minneapolis case became public that he would resign from the Senate. He later changed his mind, deciding to finish out his term, which expires in January 2009. He is also appealing in Minnesota courts to have his guilty plea overturned.

Yesterday's report is the Statesman's latest on allegations about Craig's sexual background since his arrest, in an airport men's room sex sting operation in June, was reported in late August.

Vicki Gowler, The Statesman's editor, said the newspaper spent several months checking the backgrounds and details of the men's stories:

"We believe it's important for you to know what we've learned and to hear the men's own words."

Two of the identified men and one of the unidentified men told the newspaper they had sex with Craig. One of the men identified in the report, Mike Jones, 50, described as a former male escort, was the focus of the sex scandal involving Haggard, the disgraced leader of Colorado's New Life Church.

Jones said Craig paid him $200 for sex in late 2004 or early 2005. The encounter took place at a studio apartment in downtown Denver, Jones said. Jones told the Statesman that he did not recognize Craig until his arrest made the news. The newspaper reported that Jones went on the record after Craig appeared in a television news report in August to address the arrest and his future in politics.

The undercover police officer who arrested Craig in Minneapolis said the senator moved his foot next to the officer's foot and tapped it in a way that indicated he wanted sex. He also alleged that the senator sent a signal by swiping his hand under the divider between men's room stalls.

Craig has said the officer misconstrued those motions.

The men identified in the report are Mike Jones, 50, of Denver; David Phillips, 42, of Washington D.C.; Tom Russell, 48, of Utah; and Greg Ruth, 50, of Washington D.C."

No offense to gays, because I don't care what you do in private!

But this is disgusting, and Craig makes me want to puke!

The BATHROOM a PICK-UP SPOT?
