Idaho Sen. Craig likely to resign

CNN is reporting that Idaho Sen. Larry Craig will likely resign soon. More on that at Nixguy and from Ryan at Buckeye State Blog, who’s got a well-considered post:

I find it quite sad that this man, because of societal pressure feels unable to come out of the closet and admit to himself that he is gay. It is a sad state of affairs when people feel this boxed in because of what they do or who they are that they have to resort to the kinds of activity that Senator Craig engaged in.

I think that’s the only reasonable take on the situation. Think Brokeback Mountain. And it’s very different from the Jeridian glee on the matter.

In somewhat related news, the Columbus Police and park people are working on cutting down lewd behavior in the city’s parks:

The Columbus police vice squad said that secluded areas attract the wrong sort of crowd, like the woods that line the parking lot of Rhodes Park.

Officers are working closely with the city to get thick brush cleared in problem areas.

In addition, the city’s recreation and parks department has begun putting new facilities in the parks that promote positive activities and increase traffic.

I’m glad they’re promoting positive activities, whatever they are. 100 people have been arrested so far this year.

Jeridian glee?

Yes, he hasn’t been this happy since the Mark Foley situation.

Dems can certainly gay-bait with the best of them.

You should trademark Jeridian! By the way, Brian, you have been getting some shots taken at you by the left - particularly Tim Russo post on BSB.

I’m telling you, they are not all about the debate of ideas or allowing someone else to join the fun. If you ain’t in their club or don’t believe what they believe, they will cut you man.

Screw them, keep up the good work Brian. Screw those elitist liberals.

I saw Tim Russo’s post. Seeing as how it was a slam at the whole Ohio blogosphere, I didn’t take his comment about me personally, or seriously for that matter.

Judging from the reaction it got elsewhere (which is zero as far as I can tell) looks like others feel the same way. Besides, Tim Russo being angry is about as noteworthy as a dog bites man story.

For those who might be interested, Russo’s post is here.
