I believe it's possible it happened just the way he said it did. The police officer (airport rent a cop) seemed a little off to me, like he could have been making it up, on a power trip, trying to berate the Senator into confessing something he didn't do.
Sen. Craig's political career is probably over. The abuse of power, however, was not Sen. Craig's but the media's, who pick and choose whose privacy they will violate on a partisan basis.
How many times were we subjected to self-righteous harangues about how investigations into whether Clinton solicited sex from subordinates (thereby cheating on his wife) were intrusions into his "personal life?"
Where were today's guardians of moral and political rectitude back in 1969 when Democrat Ted Kennedy drove drunk and with a suspended license off a bridge with Mary Jo Kopechne left to drown inside of his car? Where were the liberal media outcries to kick Democrat Barney Frank out of the Congress when he solicited a gay prostitute who in turn set up shop in his apartment?
the point remains: Democratic sexual indiscretions are OK while Republicans' are not. It's a double standard.

Nobody believes his story. He has been rumored to be that way for years. The problem is he is a conservative that has preached ""family values" crap for many moons. And he is going into bathrooms and trying to talk strange dudes into perversity in public restrooms. That is the most slime bag kind of behavior someone can do.

Yes, I think his story is plausible. And, I think most guys are gonna think twice before they tap their foots in the men's room. I never knew that was a signal for something. But, I still don't know why he would have waved his hand under the partition. That sounds a little fishy. So, maybe no.

No way. If you read the account by the undercover officer in the stall next door it's clear the guy is lying. AND...he plead guilty. A senator would know better if he was not guilty; he would have plead not guilty. He would be much happier if he would just be who he is.

Well, he did not have sexual relations with that woman.... Oops, wrong equivocating politician... He did not send sexually explicit e-mails to that boy... Oops, wrong again... Let's see... He did NOT proposition that cop... AND... He did Not know that he was pleading guilty... Now why doesn't America leave all of these innocent men alone???

It's not really relevant whether or not I believe it... what I think does not make it true or false. While in all actuality... there is probably partial truth and untruth to his story.

I don't know the whole thing (only saw the part on the news where they were talking about what he said, didn't see what he said) but seriously, I don't really care.

Which one? The one he pleaded guilty to or the one he tried to hide behind or or or I think he should just go quietly into retirement-today.
