Larry Craig, Now a Verb in Pop-Culture Lexicon

Ahh, is it so comforting to know that our GOP idols, David "Diaperman" Vitter and Larry "Wide Stance" Craig, are making their constituants proud.

Sometimes I think there is a thing as pushing a little too far when it comes to making fun of important people. Although the term being "Larry Craig-ed," is ridiculously funny, I still don't believe that this episode is really exceptable. So I wonder what Larry Craig would actually say if he had seen that show?? This is funny stuff.

The most ridiculous and flawed anti-Christian propagation since the Scopes Monkey Trial!

This evidences the ubiquitous screed of denial accepted by most Americans today! Either they do not care or are experiencing ennui because of the deluge of public official sexual lies! Sometime I believe that most Americans are pathological regarding acceptence of such conduct!

I think Boston Legal asks a legitimate question. They're merely exposing bigotry. What could possibly be anti-Christian about exposing bigots? Unless of course the bigots happen to be Christian. Bigotry is bad whether you believe in God, Muhammed or the tooth fairy. Love thy neighbor as your self, sweetcheeks.

I'm not sure I'm prepared to give the commentary of others any weight when the first two posts listed under this article refer to "constituants" and whether something is "exceptable".

Not to defend Larry Craig, but maybe if we spent a little less time worrying about people's sexuality and a little more time on education, we could have commentary from "constituents" who know what is an "acceptable" level of literacy.

see also: jim west, R-mayor of spokane; and R-Washington state legislator, Curtis;

it makes some difference that their stance, votes, policies, are juxtaposed against their innerfreak. they like locking up their mojo, and other's civil liberties, as well.

pity them or not. they're probably pimping their votes out for silence also.

Someone got a thesaurus for their birthday.

This is the product of the lack of appropriate guidence in the government. People/ teens are now looking at these public offcials and have no respect for them, and will defy them. Where is the line drawn? If boundaries aren't going to be set, how can today's parents and authority figures restrain the publlic from crazy kids. And what will their excuse be?..." I saw on TV, a senator of the UNited States of America did it!"

I think most of America could care less about Larry Craig and the legalities of "stancing". I do believe there is an uncomfortable subtext to the entire affair that has much to do with hypocracy in Washington. Senator Craig's unbending opposition to anything gay has put him squarely in the cross-hairs of the shotgun blast he is currently enjoying. The local newspaper that is dogging him must have a reason for not letting go because the state that elected him is mad and embarrased. Every time this story dies down a bit, something new comes out to keep it alive. As far as I am concerned, being "Larry Craiged" can take its' place in the lexicon right next to "swift boating".

Larry Craig is receiving the "fruits" of the garden that he himself planted with his own votes, policies, and opinions.

It's the hypocricy of opposing civil liberties of gays in employment and civil unions while soliciting gay sex in secret that is the real issue for me. Craig is an obnoxious hypocrite. I have nothing against gays who obey our rules and live their lives without the gay sex thing in public... in other words, let's judge people by their individual acts rather than on orientation. That's my take.

So--if I read aright, one had best assume a
close-legged stance in the mens' room or he will risk being Larry-Craiged. We, as a people, have gotten so bored with what we perceive to be our meaninglesss existence that we can find nothing better to do with our minds and spirits than to sink to inane chatter about someone being Larry-Craiged. A person's sexual orientation is no different than the color of his eyes. Granted, it's how he handles that orientation in a public forum (and I guess a mens' room qualifies)that can indeed be of some consequence. It's been my experience that out here in the work-a-day world, no one really has the energy or interest to care if someone is straight or gay. And they will likely continue not to care unless their own personal position is assaulted by an unwelcome advance. But really--don't we have more important and relevant things to talk about. Larry-Craiged--my eye!

Oh but scrimshander, many people do care if others are gay, and many discriminate in employment etc. against those who are gay.

If what you said were true, we would not need to pass non-discrimination laws. We would not have members of congress and our president demanding an amendment to the Constitution to assure gays cannot have equal protections.

Larry Craig is a pitiful hypocrite. He made his bed, as they say....

The only one I feel sorry for is his wife. She did not deserve this.

And she would not have faced this if people were not bigots and gays did not have to pretend to be otherwise and marry someone who will suffer.

These GOP hypocrits are the ones that called for Bill Clinton's head when he got some in the Oval Office. It looks now like Clinton was an amateur!
