Well, I sure can't tap my feet in the stall anymore...and forget about that wide stance! Now, when I hear tapping in the mens room I will always be looking for a hand to come out from under the stall - Thanks Larry Craig!! But in the same way that I can't look at a cigar in the same fashion thanks to Bill Clinton. <br><br>It kind of reminds me of the Spokane Jim West thing,<b><i> </i></b>whose support for anti-gay policies came to haunt him when revelations over his own sexuality hit the papers. <br><br>Here are two articles, one from U.S. News and one from Forbes.<br><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br></span>GOP Runs Away From Craighttp://www.usnews.com/usnews/politics/bulletin/bulletin_070829.htm<br><br><span class="mainarttitle"><b>House Member Calls for Craig to Resign<br>http://www.forbes.com/feeds/ap/2007/08/29/ap4065431.html<br><br></b></span><b><i>lfalen <lfalen@turbonet.com></i></b> wrote:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid
rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> Yesterday that was the only information I had. Now we have the complete report and what seems to be a history of questionable behavior. I think that under any circumstances Craig is guilty of extremely poor judgement. If the report is accurate then he did exhibit very strange behavior, although I don't see where he actually did anything sexual. To plead guilty to something you did not do is dumb. I think it is very inconsistent for those who make excuses for Clinton are out to nail Craig.<br>I would hope that Craig finishes out his term of office and does not run for reelection.<br>Roger<br><br>-----Original message-----<br>From: Joe Campbell joekc@adelphia.net<br>Date: Tue, 28 Aug 2007 14:37:49 -0700<br>To: lfalen lfalen@turbonet.com<br>Subject: Re: [Vision2020] Craig's official statement<br><br>> Roger,<br>> <br>> That Craig merely touched someone else's foot seems to go against the <br>>

I think people tend to look at ssues that they are the most interested in. In regard to the charge against Craig- I don't thing that touching someone's foot is anything to get too excited over.
