I really hate to spend this much time on a story that I originally planned not to even get into. But stick with me, I’m going somewhere with this.
Apparently the word is that Senator Craig will become the newest “Nifonged” politician to resign. A shame for him, mainly because it looks like his misadventure was used to run political interference for the Clintons who may still be in for the ride of their political careers over the Hsu connection. More on that in a bit. First a few clarification are in order.
1. I don’t care if Craig is gay or not, the issue here is that from a listen of the tape Sergeant Karsnia has shall we say - and attitude problem. In fact you remember that he refers to the alledged behavior as something he would expect from “the hood”. Why hasn’t the MSM and especially people like Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton all over this statement which basically says, “They cruise the public restrooms in the hood”. Perhaps the good sergeant would like to explain what he meant by that?
2. I am a former LEO and as such I know what procedures are to be followed when detaining a dignitary. What every Craig meant by his producing his card and saying, “What do you think of that?”, in just about every jurisdictions there are specific protocols for handling the detainment of dignitaries. Why didn’t Karsnia call in his supervisor? In the tape you can detect that officer Karsnia lost control of the conversation getting into a “pissing contest” as he called it. No matter how you want to see it, senior level supervisors should have been immediately called in.
3. There is no way that Craig’s arrest was not reported to local media. Many times in my career media knew more than we did even before we reached the scene because they had their ears glued to a scanner or by other methods. They’re good and seeing that they already had Craig under their microscope I can see no way that they didn’t know. A US Senator is accused of lewd behavior in the bathroom and it flies under the radar for three months? Right.
Now on the same day that this story broke two other stories broke which contained absolute bombshells to both Hillary Clinton and the Democrat Party in general. The first was the fact that George Soros’s defunked America Coming Together received the third largest fine in FEC history for voter fraud during the 2004 election. The other news of course - which hasn’t been told completely - is the growing campaign scandal involving several democratic candidate for president - including Hillary Clinton.
Both stories were just about knocked off the page by the Craig story and the obvious question was who behind the withholding of the story - again for two months - as almost to emerge the minute anti Hillary Clinton or anti democratic stories unfold.
No matter what Craig does, we need more answers and won’t go away until we get them.

3Propositions, Pleadings, and Resignations…
Senator Larry Craig (R-ID) continues to tread water over what media and the public are calling a sex scandal, but it isn’t even clear from the transcript and audio that solicitation was involved. Sure, the cop wants to believe that it was a soliciati….

5How very convenient for the Craig story to break just as the Hillary-Chinese connection is rearing it’s ugly head once again along with the ACT fines (which is chump change to Georgie Soros).
How very convenient that the local paper probably had this story since the minute after the arrest, but held on to it. Ummmm……….
So while the MSM reports ad naseum on the Craig scandal, we see little on Hsu and the Hillary campaign’s dirty laundry.
Why would that be? Is assumed gay conduct by a Republican a bigger story than campaign dirty dealings connected to the most famous woman in the United States? It would seem so.

6The bathroom patrol in Minneapolis Airport would be far more effective with a single uniformed officer patrolling than some sicko cop sitting in a stall waiting for someone to move their foot too far to the side. This is a money making scheme like small town speed traps. They made the bust before any proposition was made, so they weren’t looking to bust someone for improper sexual acts. Look for the well dressed businessman, threaten him, extort him, give him a minor citation for public nuisance, get the fine money and send him on his way. One listen to the tape and you can hear that the cop was out of control and when pushed by Craig, he becomes defensive and threatening because he knows he’s caught in his own lie. That whole business about the left hand reaching across the body and under the right stall wall is just ludicrous and nonsensical.
Well, I called the RNC this morning and let them know that my monthly contribution is stopping and I’ll no longer support them in any way, because I’m tired of their back stabbing sanctimony. Senator Craig is a good senator who serves his constituents well. I could care less what his sexual orientation is as long as he is doing his job and according to his conservative rankings, he has been doing it well.

7I’m with you Squiggler…this is way out of bounds on Craig. I hope and pray he does not resign…if he does…then I expect the same from Jefferson, Murtha, hildabeast and a number of others. They tried to push Vitter to resign he stood his ground…hoping Craig is allowed to.
But then if the sorry dems are comfortable having a senator among them who left to drown in his automobile a young woman with whom he was having an extramarital affair….need I say more.
