I had no idea how you were supposed to proposition men for homosexual sex in a public restroom. But luckily, now the conservative Republican Senator from Idaho, Larry Craig has filled us all in. He was caught trying to proposition a cop for gay sex in an airport in Minnesota. And apparently there is a secret code for that request. Watch the video below to find out what you're supposed to do to ask for this kind of sex act in a bathroom:
After we did this segment on the show this morning, we got a ton of calls confirming that this is true. Men called in saying they have done this trick many times before and it has worked. I loved the truck driver who said he used to do it, but he doesn't anymore. Sure, whatever gets you through the night.
Man, these Republicans are unbelievable! How many sex scandals is this now? And how many of them are gay? I would list all of them here but I have other things to do today. We have been doing a segment called Republican Sexcapades every week on our show for the last year -- and we go through about three stories a week. We are nowhere near running out.
Remember the Republican in Florida who propositioned the undercover cop in a men's room and then pretended he was scared of black people and offered to service the guy out of fear. Remember the head of the Young Republicans who would lower young men's pants while they were sleeping and try to force himself upon them.
Remember Mark Foley who hit on the underage male interns working for Congress. Apparently, Larry Craig got in trouble for the same thing back in 1982 (and back then the interns said there were 10 to 15 Congressmen who were trying to have sex with the teenage interns -- that is beyond belief). Remember David Vitter who campaigned against Bill Clinton's immoral behavior and then got caught on the DC madam's list (and with a New Orleans hooker to boot).
It goes on and on. Are there any Republican politicians left in the country who aren't involved in a sex scandal or gay? And all of this would be funny but not very relevant if it weren't for the gross, gigantic hypocrisy. Listen to Larry Craig talk about family values here (that's why he says he supports Mitt Romney -- who of course jettisoned Craig from the campaign quicker than you could shuffle your feet in a men's room).
So, it turns out Mr. Conservative Family Values Republican Senator was looking to have gay trysts in public restrooms. You'd be surprised if you weren't so used to it already. So, the next time a Republican comes around saying they are going to protect your family from gay people, think about what he must be doing in a public restroom near you.

UPDATE: Larry Craig is not gay! And he's never been gay!! At least that's what he says. Listen to this hilarious press conference he had yesterday and the even funnier Meet the Press appearance from 1999 when he was speaking about Bill Clinton's sex life:
UPDATE II: It looks like Larry Craig has finally resigned. We don't know if it's to pursue his dream as a tap dancer in a local bathroom near you.

211. Hey, back in my day: if you had sex with TWO genders, you were tagged BIsexual... as in two. Im sorry, but if you occassionally have gay sex, you ARE GAY... I dont give a damn if you identify with it or not. If you dont, youre just in DENIAL. I am so sick of people these days trying to change THE DEFINITIONS of yesterdays words. If you enjoy hetero and gay sex, youre BISEXUAL or gay.

212. What if you jerkoff in a stall and milk the floor? Is that a wrong signal? Suppose you spill your load in an airport bathroom. Can I be arrested? What about in an elevator with people inside? Think they would care or be offended?

213. *yawn*
Why is it when Republican's attack Democrats over something stupid they did, it's 'justified'?
When Democrats have their turn to poke at something stupid a Republican did it's 'childish, political, none of anyone's business, etc'?
I think someone can't take as well as they give.
It amuses me the references to Kennedy and Clinton. Stretched out over a period of HOW MANY DECADES? Compared to Republican's in sex scandals over a period of how many YEARS? And let's not compare heterosexual scandals to homosexual ones. What Clinton/Kennedy did was behind closed doors - while technically Craig was behind a 'closed door' too, it was also in a public place where children could walk in at any time. Immoral is Immoral...but Clinton/Kennedy never professed to be saints. Craig did, that's the difference.
Deal with it.

217. I believe this has to be one of the most discusting places to have sex....GAY OR NOT....
One certainly must not respect themselves if they will lower themselves to having sex in one of the most nasty of places....a public bathromm....imagine the bacteria and viruses just lurking in every stall and then GOD only knows all the bodily fluids that have dried on floors and walls and well you name it...
What is the world coming to???
for when we have no self respect what do we have??? men shaking hands in public bathrooms for sex....you deserve each other...

218. COME ON PEOPLE...let it go!!! It's time to move on to more productive discussions. The man whether gay or not resigned and is throughly humiliated and it can happen to anyone, (republican or democrat) and it will keep on happening because men refuse to control their libido. So let's see if we can find a new topic of discussion that can challenge our "intellect".

219. At first, Cenk Uygur's generalizations about Republican politicians seemes unfair. By failing to police themselves, however, the GOP leadership has brought this upon themselves. The GOP's higher ethical and moral agenda renders legitimate the outing of their hypocrisy factor.
Just as with Nixon and Clintong (sic), the cover-ups have cost them their moral authority and God's blessing. If the leaders won't clean house, they should at least give Republican voters the information they need to clean house.
Still, trying to "hook up" with another consenting adult in a public place -- as disgusting as it may be -- hardly compares to Kennedy's manslaughter, Franks' pimping, or Clintong's rapes. In that context, the socialist cacostocracy piles up plenty of its own hypocrisy.

222. What could be a more productive conversation of airing the dirty laundry of Republican Goody-goodies who are really NASTY old men! Bash gays, scream for "morality" and hit that stud in the next stall like he's CANDY! LOL. Sad..sad... sad hypocrites. Haven't we learned yet to be VERY, VERY suspicious of these types and their "moral" high horse? ( If they had a horse, they'd probably "do" him!)

223. Furthermore...the little weasel is trying to UN-resign. They are PARASITES, these people! We know what he'd like to suck MORE than the public's teat ---but not by much. GAWD. Get ajob, get a life. Being in "public office" has given this worm WAY-Y-Y too much time to spend in public bathrooms propositioning some burly dudes.
