Uh, this is all I want to hear about OJ during September and October of 2007…

You got it… Silence.
Now if someone can invent the TV, radio, internet filter that screens hype stories…Hmmm

Senator Larry Craig of Idaho has gotten a more than generous coverage in the media this week….as Paris Hilton, Nicole Richey and Lindsay Lowhan breathe a collective sigh of relief.
Did I miss it? What did he actually do that was illegal? He pled guilty to a disorderly conduct charge? Allegedly he had solicited sex in an airport men’s room in Minneapolis? The “solicitation” amounted to patting his foot and putting his hand just over the sacred stall divider demarcation line on the floor? And this was supposed to be some kind of gay gang sign of wink wink nudge nudge,,,,know what I mean…say no more? that the officer in the next stall received and said…Oh no you didnt…Come with me!
So, suddenly I’m assessing a bad Monty Python sketch from the 1970’s?
In the cnn.com article, reporter Dan Popkey was quoted as saying about the event…., “We have no hard evidence.”

That was one of several double entendre phrases that made me giggle this week. I think we are all glad about not having hard evidence…great….another Youtube video.
And in the next article, the officer has arrested about a dozen men for making this undescribed (tape said his hand was palm up, k) “hand gesture” since joining the airport police force in 2000. Really? Aren’t there bigger fish to fry after 911? Aren’t there sinister looking people or items left unattended or people parked in a fire lane for the airport police to be checking on? No, this dude is hanging out in the men’s room watching for undescribed illegal hand gestures?

… and the officer makes a comment that he expected this from people in the hood… Really? The next article from KTVB news had the text …
“I just, I just, I guess, I guess I’m gonna say I’m just disappointed in you sir,” Karsnia said. “I’m just really am. I expect this from the guy that we get out of the hood. I mean, people vote for you.”
…Really? Why is that again?

And let me get this straight, if Senator Craig were to actually confess to being gay now, then we’d be tripping over ourselves to give equality to his life style, not to offend him and his guilt would be in not keeping his lifestyle at home?
And is the Minneapolis airport men’s restroom some famous place for a hook up? Aren’t there like 10 or 20 mens rooms in a major airport? How would you even know which one? Look for guys patting their feet as you pass stalls? So now, when I’m trying to take a much needed dump and I hear what sounds like a foot tapping or worse yet some hand crossing the demarcation line….Dude, I’m just trying to take a crap…Please.
By the way, what a great few months to work at the Minneapolis tourism bureau. “Come for our bridges…and stay for the restrooms….”
I can’t wait for the George Carlin and David Letterman comedy bits on this one.
More to come on this one…
This reminded me of a sketch on TalkShow with Spike Feresten.
Google ….return dapper ifilm
Then its “Return of the Dapper Daniels” on ifilm
Hey Hilti…Yeah you….Git back in there…
Even 23 days is a mere pittance. Maybe she should be sentenced to live with OJ for a month…
Since this is more drama and show than punishment.
So, then she gets out…then writes a book…then all the talk shows….so yadda, yadda…
