Larry Craig's perverted appeals have cost Minnesota taxpayers at least $28,000

[Minnesota Raindog]

That's just what the Metropolitan Airports Commission has spent dealing with this jerk's legal games. We can only speculate as to how much it's cost the courts.

Why is it that Republican assholes like Craig are the first to scream about government spending, but when it comes to trying to cover their own sorry asses, money is no object. I hope Craig's right-wing and NRA supporters are happy that he's spending THEIR campaign contributions to defend himself from his plea of guilty to charges of soliciting a blowjob from a male cop in a public airport restroom. Is this what all NRA board members do while they;re waiting for a plane?

1. I don't like your use of the world "perverted" in the title.

[Squatch]

2. I don't like liver and onions. What's your point?

[Elspeth]

8. Yuck. Liver and onions.

Blech.

12. Do you think he'd use the word "perverted" if it were an appeal for a traffic violation?

[SpiralHawk]

4. When a normal, healthy impulse is given occult, hypocritical expression by a republicon moralizer

it fits the textbook description of perversion.

[GOPNotForMe]

13. I just find it funny that word was used instead of "hypocritical" or "wasteful"...

Or any other words that would be more accurate. As I posted above, do you think the adjective "perverted" would have been used if it were an appeal for a DUI?

3. ok

so people (ALL PEOPLE) shouldn't have the right to appeal in the criminal justice system because it costs money?

how democratic of you.

free counsel for indigent defendants cost money too.

let's get rid of that too!!!

:sarcasm:

5. Miss many points, do ya?

He is drawing attention to the hypocrisy. The same GOP losers who whine about government spending are more than willing to chew up court time and money trying to cover up their misdeeds.

HYPOCRISY.

6. i did see the point

but so what? i whine about govt. spending too.

just because some govt. spending is out of control, doesn't mean it's all bad.

much of it is good, or at least necessary.

did craig decry the expense of appeals for criminal cases?

i'm not aware of that.

i am well aware how much the court system costs, since i frequently get paid overtime to testify.

is it efficient? no. is it necessary? yes

[Minnesota Raindog]

11. You've clearly got too much time on your hands

Is this appeal necessary? No. Get a clue.

7. Larry Craig should be happy he wasn't put in leg irons

dragged from the court, thrown into solitary confinement, transfered from prison to prison so that even his lawyers don't know where he is, while the judge comes up with bullshit excuses why there isn't a written record of the proceeding. But that would never happen in America, would it?

9. That sort of justice is for the little unimportant people.
