Editor was just on Blitzer.

Says that for several months they have been investigating claims that Craig is gay.

He refused to say what their investigation revealed...directing viewers to the website of the newspaper.

1. Here's the link

to the Idaho Statesman

I got the feeling that it's going to be big. Not that it could really top that police report.

2. You mean there's MORE!?!?

5. you know there always is, hell remember when the Vitter story didn't include a diaper?

[Beausoir]

3. Doh. Thanks for adding link. I think it's strange that a major newspaper investigates whether or

not someone is gay.


But in this case, the guy was such a disgusting Clenis sniffer, I guess he has to get called on his hypocrisy.

7. Have you seen the INFO on this guy? He deserves everything he's going to get.

9. "Voted NO on adding sexual orientation to definition of hate crimes. (Jun 2002)"

Fucking pig.

13. Fucking HYPOCRITICAL PIG!

I hope he pays DEARLY for what he's done.

[blogslut]

15. Thanks for that list

:)

[in_cog_ni_to]

16. You're welcome. Pretty disgusting, isn't it?

:(

[blogslut]

17. I'm beginning to wonder about blackmail

How many of our legislators vote a certain way because they have been threatened with exposure of their sexual secrets?

[in_cog_ni_to]

18. That's a possibility. It sounds like it's an open secret in DC that Larry is gay.

Plenty of fodder for blackmail. I don't doubt for one second they've all been blackmailed/extorted.....on sexuality, banking business, extra-marital affairs....whatever it may be.

[Penndems]

11. This one incident is probably just the tip of the iceberg

If the Idaho Statesman has been investigating Senator Craig for quite some time, this is gonna be a bombshell.

Looks as if Craig just might lose his seat, if it proves to be true.

[in_cog_ni_to]

4. I'll be the first to guess that they will say they uncovered no wrongdoing and Larry is a manly STUD

who loves his wife and is happily married.:eyes:

wanna bet? The guy said they were looking into "this" latest story....like he doesn't know it's true. Give-me-a-fucking-break.

[Beausoir]

6. I got that feeling from that editor, too. He used the words "Gay Liberal Activist" like he was

spitting out poison.

[in_cog_ni_to]

10. EXACTLY. The guy's another shill. I don't believe for a minute that he has been "investigating"

anything having to do with Craig being Gay. They're in CYA mode for not reporting it in June when it happened.

[AlCzervik]

12. that sounds right.

[Beausoir]

14. CYA. Ding! They got scooped and now have to de-scoop themselves.

19. Local papers are the last to expose their own...

All the Denver papers and media knew about former Repug Governor Bill Owen's marital trysts that supposedly ended up in at least one illegitimate child born, but none touched it. The story among state employees was that he was involved with one of the teachers or principals of one of his daughters. The media never touched it, even though they had to admit having been given some evidence to run with. These kinds of stories really have to be "broken" from a national level. Local media are too damned timid, protective, or amenable to blackmail.

8. Hey man they got papers to sell, can't be dealing all the dirt on a TV teaser!

[Beausoir]

20. So far...nothing from the paper. No surprise.
