Craig Story

War, what War? :D

Darfur? Genocide?

 

This whole 24 hour news on the Craig story sort of surprises me.

 

Basically a married person, Craig, is accused of making a pass at what he thought was another willing and consenting adult. Be a bit of a hypocrite or lie about it....Huge News!

 

 

All those who never told a lie or were hypocritical on any issue in their life, please step to this side of the aisle :)

 

This is the major story the last few days in the USA. :)

 

I guess, rape, rob or murder or steal...not a story.

Make a pass at another adult of the same sex.......Stop the presses, resign, Headlines. :)

 

I guess a Senator or President can do anything but try and sleep with a boy, adult boy. :)

The Craig story is news for two reasons

 

1.Its a sex scandal, and sex scandals sell

2.This is yet another classic example of the complete hypocrisy of the “family values” oriented Republican party.

 

The Republican party has been exploiting homosexuality as a wedge issue for years. Individuals like Craig, Ted Haggard, and Jim West have made careers battling against threat that homosexuals pose to traditional family values. This open bigotry is a defining characteristic of the modern Republican party.

 

So pardon me if I find it HIGHLY amusing that so many of the Christian culture warriors appear to be over compensating in a vain attempt to repress their own sexuality It don't know what gives me more satisfaction: Finding out that a US Senator was trolling for blow jobs in an airport bathroom or watching the Republic noise machine turn on one of their own.

I've been puking on the newspapers almost every day since September 11. "War on terror", "Moslem fundamentalism" blah blah blah. Finally a good old fashioned sex scandal for a change.

 

Of course some real news would be even better but that is obviously too much to ask for.

I agree with Richard, but I have a couple of observations:

 

I'm surprised how quickly and ferociously the Republican Party turned on him. It looks like he will be forced to resign from the Senate. For this? But then, I'm a liberal :D

 

I wonder if the reaction would have been as strong if he had come out and said:

"I'm gay" and apologized to everyone?

Apologized for being gay? For hiding it? For his anti-gay positions? For cheating on his wife?
