I yoinked the above from WingNutDaily, who are losing their shit that Larry Craig might un-resign. Today Craig’s lawyers delivered a letter to the Senate Ethics Committee saying his arrest was “wholly unrelated to his Senate duties” and therefore they should reject the complaint against him. GOP honchos were caught completely by surprise with Craig’s announcement that he might not …

HomoQuotable – Mike Rogers

“When those private lives are in direct conflict with the public policy that these officials espouse, I think it’s fair game that their private lives be brought into this. And I have to blog to do that with. Here’s the question: What community is expected to protect its own enemies? Don’t beat up the gay community, and then expect us …

“Strange Male Ass”

You’ll have to embiggen it to be able to read the text of this cartoon I found on Free Republic, where I often lurk on their “Homosexual Agenda” threads. They do almost as good a job of ferreting out news of gay interest as some mainstream gay media sites. Although the cartoon is intended to be mean-spirited, the author inadvertently …

HomoQuotable- Jim McGreevey

“My gut wrenched when I read of Sen. Larry Craig‘s bathroom arrest. I remembered my own late-night encounter with the law at a Garden State Parkway rest stop following a political dinner in north Jersey.

HomoQuotable – Keith Griffith

“Most cruisers don’t want to engage in sex in public. They want to meet someone in a public space and then try to be discreet—maybe in a stall or a cubicle or maybe behind a bush. The most important thing to note about Senator Craig is that there was no sex involved. I keep waiting for the news media to …

Last night on MSNBC, Tucker Carlson recounted having, with friends, beaten up a man who allegedly hit on him in a men’s room, much to the hilarity of his co-hosts. Carlson described himself as “the least anti-gay right-winger you’ll ever meet”. Yeah, cuz gay-friendly guys beat up …

HomoQuotable – Sen. Larry Craig

“I don’t know where the Senate’s going to be on that issue of an up or down vote on impeachment, but I will tell you that the Senate certainly can bring about a censure resolution and it’s a slap on the wrist. It’s a, ‘Bad boy, Bill Clinton. You’re a naughty boy.’ The American people already know that Bill Clinton …
