Sen. Larry Craig (R-ID) Makes News in Palm Springs, CA

1 Comment

Well, well, well.  It seems that the breaking story about the latest Repugnant sex scandal occurred in Palm Springs, CA recently.  The male escort whose assertions re Ted Haggard, former leader of the National Association of Evangelicals, lead to Haggard’s resignation and to James Dobson’s de-gayification boot camp, now asserted on a Palm Springs radio station that Sen. “Toe-Tapping” Larry Craig (R-ID) also sought his services.

Haggard resigned from the mega-church that he had founded and as the leader of the National Association of Evangelicals in November 2006, after Mike Jones of Denver made allegations that Meth- and Escort-Loving Haggard paid him for sex and used methamphetamine with him.

Jones appeared on the Bulldog Bill Feingold Show broadcast on KNWQ-AM on Wednesday night, October 3, 2007, according to NBC’s www.9News.com (see NBC 9News.com.  Jones was appearing during his book tour, and, during a commercial break, reported that Toe-Tapping Larry Craig scheduled a toe-to-toe…er…head-to-head…er…face-to-face (I give up) session with him in Denver in 2005.

More below the toe-tapping flip…

Craig is the Repugnant homophobic and apparently self-loathing U.S. Senator from Idaho who plead guilty to misdemeanor disorderly conduct charges earlier this year in MN after his arrest in a Minneapolis airport bathroom for propositioning an undercover police.  And this week, Toe-Tapping Larry renegged on his promise to resign from the U.S. Senate if his appeal was denied and reported that he will serve out his term.  You just cannot make this stuff up!

Fortunately for the late night entertainment shows and for progressive bloggers everywhere, a news photographer from the ABC-affiliate KESQ-TV in Palm Springs, kept filming as Jones discussed his meeting with Craig.

Feingold asked Jones if Toe-tapping Larry met him at a hotel, and Jones responded, “No, he came to see me.”  No comment from this writer, as that was hysterical.  I wonder if the pun was intended.

Jones did not indicate whether or not he had had sexual contact with Toe-Tapping Larry.

Reportedly, Toe-Tapping Larry’s office told KESQ-TV that “Mike Jones’ allegations are completely false.”  It was not substantiated whether the Senator’s office had said that he “Was not gay, and never had been gay” though.
