Senator Craig should have read "Hamlet". In Shakespeare's masterpiece, Act I, Scene III, lines 78-80, Polonius' advice to Laertes is telling: "To thine own self be true, And, it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man."

Senator Craig continues to lie to his wife, to his constituents and, worst, to himself. It surely must be lonely in that big ol' dark closet, Senator.

Trying to compare Bush's misadventure in Iraq with Napoleon's misadventure in Egypt is just wrong; the only thing Bush has in common with Napoleon is a set of male genitalia.

With his drawn-out "announcement", Freddie Thompson has given the Repooplican voters enough fore-play for years to come! Come on into the pool, Freddie...just look out for the sharks in the deep end!

By the way, Freddie: you might want to do something about those bags under your eyes. Last time I saw bags that big was on the baggage carousel when I got off a plane at JFK.

Next big Repooplican to be outed? My vote goes to Karl Rove. There's a new book coming out...pun intended...that will name Karl-baby as one of those closeted-Repugs who has strayed from the "straight and narrow path" with a love that dare not mention it's name.

There's a reason why Karl's Secret Service name is "Rover".

...a hard-on has no conscience.

In a day when most teens don't equate a blowjob with actual sex, when more couples are unmarried than married, when sex is used to sell everything and hook-ups are common...straight, gay and bi...is it any wonder that Senator Craig's bathroom two-step generates such buzz and commentary? Sex is prevalent and in-your-face...literally and figuratively...24/7.

I think the biggest part of the Craig imbroglio, however, is the sheer hypocrisy of a man who espoused the religious Right's agenda while he sought anonymous man-action in the loo.

Brings new meaning to giving lip-service to an issue.

Back in the day, there was a famous quote referring to pro football wherein someone observed that, paraphrasing here, "on any given Sunday, anybody can beat anybody." That holds true in college football.

Appalachian State had a better game-plan, App St had more desire, more motivation and was hungrier. Michigan was arrogant, thinking they were going to sleepwalk through a sure-fire victory. Wrong!

The Notre Dame-Georgia Tech game followed the same script as the Michigan-App St game: a hungrier, more motivated, better coached and more cohesive team kicked the crap out of the "favorite" team. Notre Dame, with all its tradition, history, fanbase, NBC-TV exposure and cheerleading from the network's announcers, lost and lost badly. Boo hoo!

If things happened on the field as if they were scripted, then college football wouldn't be as much fun to watch. However, when the unexpected happens, the lowly team wins, the back-up player steps in and steps up and the coach who has been with five different unsuccessful programs in his career notches a brilliant victory, we all believe that "on any given Saturday, any team CAN beat any other team".

With that in mind...Roll Tide!

Bush has and Reagan had telltale signs of dementia and Alzheimer's: a failure to remember dates, facts and issues, an inability to articulate issues clearly and behavior that is/was erratic at best and bizarre at worst.

Bush may well be remembered as Reagan-very-lite. That memory, however, will also be one of incompetence, irrationality and ineptness.

Congratulations to the brissed-set: you, indeed, do have great athletes...just like all the other groups of people. Problem is, do you really want to be known as Jewish first and a great athlete second, or third, after your gender or even fourth, after your sexual-orientation? I wouldn't.

That's why this article...whether intended as humor or not...is actually a disservice to Jews...and, everyone else. To mark such an achievement by referring primarily to a race, religious group, ethnicity, gender or sexual-orientation diminishes us all. As individuals, sometimes we achieve certain goals, reach milestones and win plaudits and kudos AND sometimes we also fail to achieve those same results, as individuals.

For, if we applaud someone Jewish for his/her athletic win primarily as a Jew, its just as easy to slam someone as a lousy Jewish athlete...primarily as a Jew.

God knows, the last thing we all need is an excuse to belittle or single out someone for blame...or praise...based on whether he/she is a Jew, Gentile, Muslim, Agnostic, Atheist, White, Black, Brown, Gay, Straight or Bi FIRST rather than simply a fellow member of the human race FIRST.

By calling yourself a "Jewish athlete" first rather than being known as an athlete who happens to be Jewish, you certainly set yourselves up for a fall; for every Mark Spitz, there are a hundred Isadore Goldbergs/Shlomo Liebovitzs/David Fines who will be singled out as "that Jewish kid who didn't perform".

You sure you want to go there?

As a Progressive broadcaster, I LOVE Senator Craig's contortious and varied positions on his future; he is the gift-that-keeps-on-giving to those of us who take delight in skewering the hypocrisy of the wacky Right on-air. I want him to stay!

Without Larry Craig, would we have these?

1) The Democrats are going to honor the I-am-not-gay Senator Craig by putting his face on the $3 bill.

2) Senator Craig may have been born in Idaho but he was reared in Minneapolis.

3a) Q: How does Senator Craig's wife turn him on? A: She ties a urinal cake around her neck.

3b) Q: What is Senator Craig's favorite cologne? A: Eau de Urinal Cake.

4) With his experience in toilets, Senator Craig would make a good Ty-De-Bowl man.

5) Be sure to look for the new Senator Craig Memorial Rest Stop on the Interstate.

So, thank you, Senator Craig. And, please don't quit; we need the humor only you and the REST of the hypocritical Repooplicans can offer.
