Dear Ernest:
I'll keep this short, because I know you've been home-schooled.
If you're going to cruise an airport men's room, for pity's sake Google the airport first!
As you must know by now, your friend and mentor Larry didn't follow this simple rule, and he's in a world of hurt.
Regards,
Lambert

The origin of the term is obscure; everyone talks about the duck pit, but nobody ever says where it is, what it is, or how the people destined for it will get there. Believed to be a Babylon 5 reference, however. Usage example: Aux duck pits, citoyens I found this at Orcinus: "Some liberal commenters, for instance, on certain threads I read have devised, satirically, a "duck pit" into which all conservative minions will be cast on the day of liberal reckoning, there to be nibbled to death by a thousand hungry ducks." If I remember correctly, it originated in comments at Atrios, as a response to violent threats by Right Wing trolls. Sometimes sillines and absurdity are are a good antidote for hatred.

you beat me to the punch, but only 'cause i was out shopping
damn you.
but what i was gonna say is this: isn't it time for an Out, Proud Senator? We've officially had boy lovers and potty peeper/poopers/pervs, plenty of chickenhawks and bossy bottoms, and Hot Military Studs. But sob, they've all been so unhappy and lonely and misundertood in their closeted cases.
How about an out, proud, happy gay man for Senate? We could dub it "2008 is no time for Str8!" or something.
the Voters have approved gay legislators. gay man on dog, man on turtle, man on boy action- and they've proven as wholesome as Freedom Fries and Tim Ossman. So what do you say to the idea that just this once, and he can even be republican, we elect a happy, well adjusted, comfortable in his 'orientation' gay white rich man? Just for a change?
i'm ready. i think bathroom stall-americans are too. let's give it a try.
Craig should indeed come out
and switch parties while he's at it.
Hey, it's "only for 15 more months, how much harm can he do?" right? Or does that only apply to non-impeachment discussions?
He gets to spend his last days in the Senate in the majority again too. Hey Larry, how did your R buddies treat you the last week? Who was it who offered you --okay, intermixed with rude jokes, but still--some understanding and compassion? Hint: Not Those Guys. Us guys.
Just a suggestion. In case Larry is spending the evening reading around the blogs, or somebody who knows him can drop the suggestion in his ear. :)
What were we talking about?
Since he's White, he might get a Jim McGreevy-type welcome.
He's a sad old fart, really. He's not Gay, just a tad twisted. That's the real reason we keep adding letters to the slogan, like, we used to be L & G (Lesbians and Gays), then the bi-sexuals felt neglected, so we became LGB, but what about the trans-sexuals, someone else asked, so we became the LGBT. Then someone said, but trans-sexuals come in two flavors, at least, and the rest of us said, "CAN IT, MARY, WE'RE DOING THE BEST WE FUCKING CAN! BACK OFF MY SKIRT!" What letter would be add for tea-room queens who are married to women?
Oh right, where was I going with this? Oh yeah, he's twisted in a sexually perverted sort of way, but he's not particularly Gay. I just feel a need to say that over and over again. I feel that he and I have nothing in common besides our affection for male sexual organs.
You see, I AM Gay, and sort of proud and happy about it. I have a pretty damn good life. No thanks to men like Larry Craig.
You know who we should be making fun of right now? Log-Cabin Republicans! Let's do a Google and find them and harass them, starting with the Boy from Troy.
