Source: St. Paul Pioneer-Press The undercover police officer who busted U.S. Sen. Larry Craig in a gay-sex sting in an airport bathroom stall couldn't have been offended by the senator's notorious foot-tapping -- after all, the officer invited the action by tapping his own foot, lawyers for the congressman said in a brief filed Tuesday. Those lawyers also contend the Idaho Republican should have his guilty plea to a disorderly conduct charge thrown out because what he did last June wasn't a crime. The reason: The state's disorderly conduct statute says the conduct in question has...

Source: The Daily (U Washington) by Chris Kaasa The American public has a new hobby -- cheering the downfall of gay Republican politicians. I’ve heard some people call it ironic. Really, it’s just disgusting. The “sex scandals” are those surrounding Republican lawmakers Sen. Larry Craig of Idaho, famous after 33 years in public service for his restroom foot-tapping, and state Rep. Richard Curtis of Washington, who resigned Oct. 31 after being caught paying off a gay prostitute. Just a little more than a year ago on the HBO program Real Time with Bill Maher, I heard the openly gay Democratic Rep...
