Arrest Audio of Sen. Craig's Bathroom Bust


Below is a link to the newly released audio recording of Sen. Larry Craig's (R) arrest by Sgt. Dave Karsnia (see photo) of the Minneapolis Police Department. Is this story ever going away? The anti gay Republican Party wants to know.

So sorry homophobes -- but try really hard to just get used to it cuz this is called the law of karma.

"You said our feet bumped. I believe they did," Craig is heard to say."The Next thing I knew, under the bathroom divider comes a card that says 'Police."

"You are sitting here lying to a police officer," Karsnia responds on the tape. "People vote for you. Unbelievable."


Listen to audio recording of Sen. Larry Craig's arrest via a video from MSNBC's News Live at Raw Story.

And here's a little GOP damning excerpt from an editorial in the neoconservative Washington Post:

Mr. Craig's Secret

"Once again, the party that embraces a constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage and blocks laws that would stop discrimination against homosexuals finds itself with a loyal foot soldier who votes one way and allegedly acts another. Mr. Craig voted for the Defense of Marriage Act in 1996. He voted for a constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage in 2004. Last year, he supported an Idaho constitutional amendment that prohibits gay marriage and civil unions. Mr. Craig is yet another willing accomplice in the machinery of intolerance that has stunted the lives of many gay men and lesbians. Maybe even his own."

In other words, when oh when will the self-loathing Republican Party do us all a favor and slink off and just die?
