Is it just me or is anyone else finding it a little funny how many GOP politicians, many who loudly decry homosexuals and gay rights, have been caught up in homo-erotic or outright homosexual sex scandals? That’s not even including the straight sex scandals with prostitutes and the like. I suppose if you’re going to be a hypocrite, you might as well go down in flames (no pun or gay joke intended) when you’re found out.
Let’s just for fun look at Sen. Craig from Super Red State Idaho. Now, he is screaming from the roof tops, “I am NOT gay!” OK, so there is some room for doubt on this particular charge since he was not caught in flagrante delicto but what he did do seems pretty darn odd if he wasn’t intending to have a little man on man nookie. So let’s see, first you played footsy and handy hand grab with the guy in the stall next to you. When he was discovered to be a cop, you hand him your Senator’s business card to try to intimidate him. THEN, you plead guilty to, “Just make it go away”, and you lacked correct legal representation. NOW, you say that nothing bad was done. OK, worst case you were hinting at committing and illegal act…so I guess by the letter of the law you didn’t violate it too badly, right? Also, you didn’t have correct legal representation? Did you even bother to seek it? I mean, in my mind congressional types usually have the money, influence and access to some of the best legal minds in the world. So, I think you may have just been lazy or scared that this major piece of shit stupid behavior would hit the fan faster if you had legal help and thus greater exposure at the time. Again, I may be wrong, but I have no sympathy for Sen. Craig. He is rich, white, privileged and apparently STUPID and that is nothing to pity, but something to revile.
To me and my apparently unforgiving moral compass the fact that this foolish politician is being investigated is justice on some level. I also find comfort that his hypocrisy will probably cost him his seat, which will probably still be retained by a Republican, but not all justice is perfect. And before any GOP fans or others call me out as a liberal with blood lust, take note my moral compass would be the same on the forgiveness front if this was a Democrat. To me both parties have made lots of mistakes and no one is above the ramifications of hypocrisy and stupidity, no matter if your Red, Blue or Rainbow hued.
