The wingnut reactions to the Larry Craig "scandal" have been much more amusing and somewhat disturbing than the act/admission itself.
Take the Motel 6's ministry maven's knee-jerking for instance.
I have a question for the homosexual community: is this a normal gay thing…the…uh…toilet sex? Help me out, those in the know, are the urges that crazy and intense? Can’t they just wait until they get back to their Miata or a Motel 6 and resist the urge to do the funky monkey in a nasty public lavatory?

You know, as much as this situation sucks for Craig, he had better thank God that he hit on a cop and not a redneck. If someone tried to rub my foot and give me elaborate Boy George hand signals while I’m bilging in the stall next door, I would:
A). crush his metatarsals like Queen Latifah on a live cockroach,
B). drain my bladder in the shoe housing his newly-crushed foot,
C). proceed to stuff his balding head in the toilet he was using, and…
D). call the cops to haul his near-drowned, lesson-learned, badly-beaten body to the nearest police department.
From this we can surmise that Doug is a confirmed homo-phobe and if qualified to speak for his peers, they believe Larry Craig to be gay. Doug, just so as you know... as long as something's taboo, those who seek to participate will have to do it in secrecy. That level of clandestine behavior might cause them to do things in places they might rather not play in. No excuses... it just is.
The disturbing part of Reverend Giles article is his desire to participate in gay bashing while touting inter-stall water sports. I'm not a therapist nor do I claim to be one... but wow Dougie, that's quite the series of well thought out reactions. How'd that go over with your congregation this Sunday?
