SHOULD SEN. LARRY CRAIG RESIGN?

From the report:

"According to a police report obtained by the Capitol Hill newspaper Roll Call, which disclosed the episode and the guilty plea Monday, a plainclothes police officer investigating complaints of sexual activity in the bathroom arrested the senator on June 11 after what the officer described as sexual advances made by Mr. Craig from an adjoining stall."

So, he was in the next stall and possibly made advances, but there was no sex going on, so why the hell are we talking about him having sex in a public restroom for?

happycat, you are presuming an awful lot. If it indeed was sexual, they could have been making plans to have sex elsewhere. You are assuming it would have taken place right then and there.

Wouldn't you think they'd go to a motel or something? He being a politician would likely not have engaged in sexual activities in a public place in case he were recognized.

First of all I don't give a rat's ass who Craig has sex (adult) with (nor Clinton) Second of all is that it is the Republicans that are going bonkers over Craig probably because they have had one episode after another of "Public" failed family values in recent times and seem to be pretty sure their christian base will not be so friendly in the voting booth next year. Third, I've never had sex of any sort in a public restroom and I'm wondering just how common this is (other than airplane restrooms)

You are assuming it would have taken place right then and there.

Clinton did not have sex in the publc eye. He had it in the Oval Office where I'm sure it's happened often since the cornerstone was laid.
No one would have known about it if Monica had kept her big mouth shut afterward.

It also doesn't matter that it's a US Senator in this case EXCEPT that this is a guy that's been known to vote against gay rights.

Comparing Clinton to Craig is like apples and oranges.

happycat- I would have been less upset if Clinton had taken Monica to a hotel and screwed her there. To me, the Oval Office is one of the most public places in the United States, even if the door were closed. It symbolizes the OFFICE of the presidency. To me, getting a blowjob in the Oval Office is an affront to the office of the presidency, over and above the actions of any particular individual.

There is nothing sacred about the oval office. That is the place where Nixon taped people and planned Watergate. Moreover, it was home to Clinton (he had a leasehold interest during his term), and he could do what he wanted there.

There seems to be a disconnect here. Sen. Vitter admitted to breaking laws by hiring prostitutes, but I haven't seen where Reps are asking him to resign. Is it because Craig was involved in gay sex that he is being told to resign?

Further, it is interesting that both were holier-than-thou senators.

Someone on TV opined that the Reps want Craig out because someone may come forward saying he had sex with Craig. Moreover, the matter remains in the news as long as Craig is the butt (not pun intended) of every comedian's jokes.

If the dems were quite content for Clinton to stay in office, then there should be no argument about Craig or Vitter.
