Back in the day, Jimbo, when you taught me how to roll up the sleeves of my shirt to the inside, you never discussed the proper stance of thundercloset protocol.

And, for both of these, I am eternally grateful.

Very good! This whole tawdry affair needs a bit of humor. Have you ever noted the irony that the most “holier than though” invariably are the one’s who are revealed as the biggest hypocrites? When you combine this week’s story with the information that there have been rumors about Craig’s secuality for the past 25 years, it is hard to accept his protestations of innocence. Go ahead, Senator, be gay. It’s alright.

Great investigative work. But there’s more to be done. Help me undstand the whole swiping-the-hend-under-the-stall thing. Go back to the library and extend your hand to the guy in the stall next to you. Let me know how that goes.

Love it!
I was wondering some of the same things, but you took it further, tho not into the next stall.

Thanks for “assuming the position,” Jimbo — you have proved that Larry’s stall tale is a tall tale, in more ways than one …

I’m waiting for internet photos of guys sitting in this very toilet stall trying a “wide stance.” They’re going to milk this to the hilt. These guys just set themselves up for not only columnists and comedians, but even Repubs who are saying, “what was he thinking?!”

The only danger I have ever been aware of while using a public toilet is watching out for someone reaching under the stall and stealing my billfold, imagine trying to chase a thief with your pants around your ankles.
I have a question: if Craig pleaded down to bad conduct, What was the real offense?
Masturbating in a public place?

So you travel to MSP to get “evidence”. How about before you jump to conclusions, you check some other evidence.

People are assuming intent on Craig’s part because they put stock in rumors which the
Idaho Statesman spent 10 months investigating.

The result? One unnamed, admitted by the paper as unreliable, “witness” who believes he did something with Senator Craig sometime in 2004.

Further, in the last 3 weeks of crazy media frenzy not one man has come forward with any claim to have had sex with this man. The absence of proof in this case is deafening.
