Larry Craig's Gay Lovers Get in Line


8 Gay Men Claim Sexual Encounters With Larry Craig

The Idaho Statesman reports that the gay men who say they've had sexual encounters with the infamous Republican Senator Larry Craig are now forming a line.

The paper reports the stories of 4 'out' gay men, as well as an account of a 5th man who remains anonymous because of fear of retaliation. One of the men is gay prostitute Mike Jones who is perhaps most famous for having sex with Rev. Ted Haggard.

Senator Larry Craig (R-Idaho) says he did not have sex with any of these people because he is still not gay, but check out the Talking Senator Larry Craig Action Figure!

Idaho Statesman:

David Phillips. Mike Jones. Greg Ruth. Tom Russell.

Four gay men, willing to put their names in print and whose allegations can't be disproved, have come forward since news of U.S. Sen. Larry Craig's guilty plea. They say they had sex with Craig or that he made a sexual advance or that he paid them unusual attention.

They are telling their stories now because they are offended by Craig's denials, including his famous statement, "I am not gay, I never have been gay." Those words, spoken on live national TV on Aug. 28, are now memorialized on a just-released-for-Christmas Talking Senator Larry Craig Action Figure.

Note: The Associated Press is reporting that the Idaho Statesman reported on EIGHT men who claim to have had sexual encounters with Craig. Everyone else is reporting four or five men. I counted FIVE, but who really knows?

Update:
"On Aug. 28, the Statesman reported the accounts of three other anonymous males who claimed to have encounters with Craig."
