1. The circumstance being violating the privacy of a bathroom stall just at the moment

it happened to be occupied by a cop.

[niyad]

2. what self-serving tripe-- especially the part about "we'd love him even if he were gay"

notice they aren't saying anything about all his homophobic votes and "stances"

[YOY]

3. More like "a victim of circumcision"

n/t

[aquart]

4. He adopted his wife's kids? That's nice.

[CatWoman]

6. like Justice Roberts

:think:

[DemocratSinceBirth]

9. Roberts Adopted Children Are From Someone Other Than His Wife

That leaves the likely inference that he or is his wife was infertile...

[Maat]

11. My husband and I adopted our only child, our daughter.

Neither one of us is gay or bisexual, nor are we infertile. I'm just sayin.'

We were childless by choice for the first 15 years of our relationship.

I just want people to know that adoptive parents adopt out of love, the vast majority of the time - love, pure and simple.

[MissB]

28. I don't think anyone is slamming his adopting of her kids necessarily.

The only thing I'm looking at is the kids' ages. The two pictured above look way older than I am, which puts them pretty close to adulthood in 1982.

[Maat]

32. Must have been a second-parent adoption when the kids were teens.

In Peace,

Maat

:pals:

[wicket]

37. Bless you

:hug:

A friend who adopted would often remark how callous people can be when finding out his child was adopted. "Oh, so he's not your REAL kid", etc. He was like, "No, he's my fake kid :sarcasm:, what do you think??"

[Maat]

38. Hi, Wicket!

I know what your friend goes through. I don't know how many times I've gone through the same thing. "Where's her real mom?" "Your looking at her."

:hi:

[lebkuchen]

5. Aren't those his adopted children?

I don't remember reading that Craig ever had his own children.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

8. He married a built-in family right after the 1982 Page scandal. eom

[onenote]

13. and exactly what difference does it make whether they are adopted?

[lebkuchen]

17. They're his "cover" to prove he's straight.

I see the same thing within my own professional circle.

[MissB]

27. Not much, but I'm looking at them. They're not 20-somethings.

They look older than I am. The guy has a slightly receding hairline- I'm guessing he's in his early 40s. They must've been nearly adults by the time he adopted them in 1982-1983.

[onenote]

30. they were 9, 12, and 14 years old when craig married their mother

Currently: 38,36 and 33.

[lebkuchen]

34. Marry a woman with three kids, be a republican, vote against gay rights

and parrot the importance of family values, and you have your basic perfect gay cover.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

7. must be very embarassing for them

[Mr. Ected]

10. Who Cares What His 'Kids" Think?

What matters is how this homophobic Senator VOTED before being outted as yet another Republican sexual hypocrite.

[BlooInBloo]

12. True that.

[TahitiNut]

14. Oh, I see - HE'S the "victim"? Uh-huh. Riiight.

Him and poor Shrubby ... victims.

:puke:

[Pachamama]

15. His kids are "certain of his heterosexuality"? Really? They know what their father does sexually

at any time in his life?

I think that statement is the most preposterous statement of all....First of all, most kids don't want to even ever imagine their parents being sexual, period. Its an image that any kid can't and doesn't want to go there. But, assuming that they do want to know about a parent's "sex life", the reality is that short of them being privy to watching them in the bedroom and following them every moment of their life and their "intimate moments", how would they truly know the sexual preference of their parents?

Its so sad really, it seems that they too are in denial about so much....

[ComerPerro]

36. reminds me of Kids in the Hall, Brain Candy. Everyone in Scott Thompson's characters family knows

except him!

"Kids, where's your father?"

"He's upstairs masturbating to gay porn?"

"Again?"

[TahitiNut]

16. I wonder if anyone has repaired that defective airplane yet.

You know ... the one with the broken restrooms that forced ol' Larry to rush to the terminal toilet between flights?

Poor guy. :eyes:

[Kelly Rupert]

20. Haha.

Hey, though, seriously: I work for Northwest in the summers, and I can say I'd prefer to use the MSP bathrooms than the ones on our DC-9s.

[TahitiNut]

26. Well, if 'entrapment' were an issue ...

... then a nice, private airplane loo sure offers more protection from such stings. :shrug:

Is it possible that the far greater personal privacy of an airplane lavatory wasn't available?

[JVS]

18. If by circumstance they mean lewd behavior

[Ganja Ninja]

19. It was entrapment.

The sign on the door said "Men" and he just couldn't resist.

[porphyrian]

21. Yeah, he happened to get caught. - n/t

[w8liftinglady]

22. a "Victim of circumstance"?

this image comes to mind...

[Kelly Rupert]

23. Yeah, what were the odds that he'd have

solicited that particular cop for sex? Lemme tell you, if he had been routed through Detroit instead of Minneapolis, he'd have probably gotten away with it.

[Greyskye]

24. Yep. He can't help it that he was born wired that way.

I don't think that hypocrisy is a genetic trait, however.

[Netbeavis]

25. no, no it was The Circle Stance

the act of dropping a deuce while standing over the bowl as there were no sani-seats available.


either that or "sir cum stance" which is just disgusting.

[elehhhhna]

29. oh no you di'int...

lol

[Terran]

31. Oh NO!

LOL!! :evilgrin:

[Eurobabe]

33. victim of circumcision?

[Netbeavis]

35. got caught by the skin of his teeth n/t

[Neshanic]

39. "The Accidental Homosexual" Chapter 1, I am born, I decide to be gay.
