Larry Craig Loses Attempt to Withdraw Plea

Larry Craig the Idaho Senator has lost his latest attempt to withdraw his guilty plea in the Minneapolis airport men’s room sex sting, the event that has effectively ended his Senate career.

The Minnesota Court of Appeals rejected the Republican’s bid to toss out his disorderly conduct conviction on Tuesday.

Craig can still appeal his case to the Minnesota Supreme Court, and he said Tuesday he was considering future options.

So Let Me See If I’ve Got This Straight

Back in California, polls are showing a 55-41 split in the gay marriage bill (with 55% opposed to the bill, and so keeping gay marriage legal) despite the pro-Prop-8 groups (okay, mostly Mormons) having more funding. Also, the “Yes on 8″ campaign lost a million yard signs in a transportation snafu. Turns out they couldn’t be bothered to find a good California union shop… so they exported that job to China. Now their signs will arrive three weeks late - giving them only 3-4 weeks of effectiveness at most. Brad Pitt and Stephen Spielberg love the gays.

Sarah Palin is a lying liar from liarsville, witchcraft-proofed (hey Wiccan buddies, are you on top of this? I want to know what spells are aimed at her right now), uses a stupid yahoo password to hide her dealings from the public, and a babbling idiot when faced with reporters who aren’t going to ask her only easy questions.

Clay Aiken is gay. Lindsay Lohan is a lesbian confirmed she is in a same-sex relationship, so she may be a lesbian or possibly bisexual. Still no confirmation on Anderson Cooper. Larry Craig is still trying to get off (the list of convicted sex offenders). For the first time, the federal courts have recognized anti-transgender discrimination under existing antidiscrimination law. Gay couples in Florida are adopting.

Sex and Politics Go Hand in Hand

You may be asking yourself, “What does she mean, sex is political?” Well, it’s quite simple.

Politics are our views and actions based on materialistic ideals. You can learn a lot about somebody by asking them what their political views are. For example, people who are pro-life aren’t just pro-life because they believe killing is wrong; they just can’t picture themselves being put on trial for killing an unborn child. Politics are personal and self-centered. People pick and choose their lovers based on so many political factors that have absolutely nothing to do with romance. Does he have a good eye color? Was she an acceptable beer pong partner? If we have kids, will they be attractive based on our looks? Are his pants designer? Does he go tanning, and if so, does that mean that he’s possibly gay?

And what about people who base their sexual preferences on political party affiliation? “I won’t sleep with him because he’s a Republican.” That’s just crap. It almost seems like people assume that during sex, their partner will begin to blurt out their views on tax cuts and abortion. Unless, of course, you’re participating in some orgy on the White House lawn accompanied by Bill Clinton (he wouldn’t miss it for the world) and Larry Craig (he’s not gay! He said so himself!), I doubt that would ever even happen. But then again, I never thought I would see a man who could have played poker with Jesus on the Republican ticket. Touché, America, touché.
