Some Hypocritical Loud Mouths

Workout notes 3.25 to the Riverplex (walk), 1 mile in 10:25 plus a lap, yoga, then 3.75 miles back home for a total of 8.

The mile felt good; my feet are getting stronger.

Those Loud Mouthed He-Men Remember Ted Nugent’s disgusting rant?

Sean “the hypocrite” Hannity excused his rant, of course, (hate is only bad if it comes from a liberal), but it turns out that Mr. Nugent TALKS tough, but when it comes to being tough…well, it is a different story:

Well, well, well. Look what we have here. Another tough-talking chicken hawk, Ted Nugent, who likes to play with machine guns in the safety of a rock concert. But when called upon to use the real thing in a real war, he got so scared he wet his pants. Richard Roeper tells all about draft-dodging Nugent in today’s Chicago Sun-Times…

Over the weekend, there were several diaries and comments on how Ted Nugent is waving around machine guns, taunting Obama, Clinton, and liberals in general. Wouldn’t you know, he’s just another chickenhawk. In today’s Chicago Sun-Times, Richard Roeper writes:

So Ted Nugent roams a concert stage while toting automatic weapons, calls Barack Obama “a piece of —–” and says he told Obama to suck on one of his machine-guns. He also calls Hillary Clinton a “worthless bitch” and Dianne Feinstein a “worthless whore.”

That Nugent, he’s a man’s man. He talks the talk and walks the walk, right?

Except when it was time to register for the draft during the Vietnam era. By his own admission, Nugent stopped all forms of personal hygiene for a month and showed up for his draft board physical in pants caked with his own urine and feces, winning a deferment..

What about the “family values” conservatives?
Oh, some of them (the males anyway) are busy trying to pick up men in bathroom stalls. Oh yes, when they get caught, they lie about it.

A Republican senator pleaded guilty earlier this month to a misdemeanor disorderly conduct charge stemming from his arrest at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, according to state criminal records.

Republican Sen. Larry Craig of Idaho was arrested in June at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.

Roll Call newspaper reported Monday that Sen. Larry Craig of Idaho was apprehended June 11 by a plainclothes police officer investigating complaints of lewd behavior in an airport men’s room.

Roll Call reports on the U.S. legislature.

Craig denied any inappropriate conduct in a prepared statement, and said he now regrets his guilty plea.

“At the time of this incident, I complained to the police that they were misconstruing my actions. I was not involved in any inappropriate conduct,” he said. “I should have had the advice of counsel in resolving this matter. In hindsight, I should not have pled guilty. I was trying to handle this matter myself quickly and expeditiously.”

According to Roll Call, the arresting officer alleged that Craig lingered outside a rest room stall where the officer was sitting, then entered the stall next door and blocked the door with his luggage.

According to the arrest report cited by Roll Call, Craig tapped his right foot, which the officer said he recognized “as a signal used by persons wishing to engage in lewd conduct.”

The report alleges Craig then touched the officer’s foot with his foot and the senator “proceeded to swipe his hand under the stall divider several times,” according to Roll Call.

At that point, the officer said he put his police identification down by the floor so Craig could see it and informed the senator that he was under arrest, before any sexual contact took place.

Idaho’s senior senator is married with three grown children and nine grandchildren. A former rancher, Craig was first elected to the Senate in 1990, after serving a decade in the House. His seat is up for re-election in 2008.

Last fall, Craig’s office publicly denied assertions by Internet blogger Mike Rogers that the senator is gay. Craig’s office dismissed speculation about the senator’s sexuality as “completely ridiculous.”

In 1982, Craig denied rumors that he was under investigation as part of a federal probe into allegations that lawmakers on Capitol Hill had sexual relationships with congressional pages, saying the “false allegations” made him “mad as hell.”

O’Brien discusses this:

Republican Sen. Larry Craig, was arrested for lewd behavior and pleaded guilty to a lesser charge. It seems Sen. Craig was trying to pick up an undercover cop while in a bathroom stall in an airport.

The funny thing is this happened back in June and his excuse is while in the stall, in an apparent signal for encounters, he “accidentally” tapped the foot of the man in the next stall.

Now here’s the thing – unless a man is secretly Mr. Fantastic from the Fantastic Four or Plastic Man, men in bathrooms do not tap each other’s feet by “accident.” Nor do they drop pieces of paper between each other.

Too Good to Pass Up From Liberals Must Die; I just about died laughing!
