Some suspect that they cross bred with croc's. They all hang out in the restrooms down by the river and it gets really perverted there. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/08/hi_fires_30_aug.html#comment-63798 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/08/hi_fires_30_aug.html#comment-63798 Thu, 30 Aug 2007 20:05:36 -0600 Okay, the Merk4 looks like a Sheridan, but if it's that tough, why did the crew have to protect it from mosquitoes with that bigazz net? http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/08/hi_fires_30_aug.html#comment-63795 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/08/hi_fires_30_aug.html#comment-63795 Thu, 30 Aug 2007 18:45:49 -0600 Maggie - if the Senator did what was alleged, he wasn't soliciting to go somewhere like a hotel room, he was soliciting for right then and there. ;^ ) As for the rest of your story... "I have no recollection of those events..." http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/08/hi_fires_30_aug.html#comment-63793 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/08/hi_fires_30_aug.html#comment-63793 Thu, 30 Aug 2007 18:31:41 -0600 You are the one who sent me into a men's room in Seattle. Perhaps he mistakenly thought it was the Ladies' Room (it *was* Seattle, after all -- hard to tell the difference, at times). Or perhaps the Ladies' Room was *full* and he offered to stand guard while you used the Mens' Room. Or perhaps he just wanted to see how many guys you'd come out with. Or if you'd come out sometime within the same 24-hour period...]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/08/hi_fires_30_aug.html#comment-63791 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/08/hi_fires_30_aug.html#comment-63791 Thu, 30 Aug 2007 17:12:46 -0600 Strikes me, Maggie, that you probably want the law changed to where hitting on the guy in the next stall in a public restroom isn't illegal. Are you telling me that it is currently illegal? Holy smokes! If the law allows you to be arrested for *suggesting* you are interested in sex with another adult....hell, yes! I want it changed. BTW, what will we charge you with? You are the one who sent me into a men's room in Seattle. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/08/hi_fires_30_aug.html#comment-63790 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/08/hi_fires_30_aug.html#comment-63790 Thu, 30 Aug 2007 17:03:15 -0600 Strikes me, Maggie, that you probably want the law changed to where hitting on the guy in the next stall in a public restroom isn't illegal. I can live with that. I'm just saying that if I got selected for the jury, absent knowing anything more than what was in the police report and the Senator's public statements, he wouldn't want me on his jury. That said - one wonders how much and how blatant the activity was that the Minneapolis police/airport authority felt the need to put undercover vice cops in the latrines. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/08/hi_fires_30_aug.html#comment-63788 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/08/hi_fires_30_aug.html#comment-63788 Thu, 30 Aug 2007 15:38:21 -0600 would want me on his jury. IMO, this was a baseless arrest. The man was unjustly arrested. What law prevents you from hitting on another adult male (if that is what he was doing and I'll concede he probably was)? Did the Senator verbally solicit a sex act? Not that I can see. Did the undercover officer state that non-verbal contact was unwanted? Not that I can see, so that leaves out harrassment. Did the undercover officer appear underage? Not that I could see. Did the Senator expose himself? Was he seen by anyone else? Not that I have read. IMO, that police officer jumped the gun. Not only would I have encouraged Senator Craig to fight this, I would further have called for an investigation of this officer in particular and that police department in general. Clearly there was an abuse of the process by people who knew that were dealing with a class of accused who were very unlikely to fight back. This does not mean that Senator Craig's actions were smart, or honorable. But his mistakes do not excuse the actions of the officer.]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/08/hi_fires_30_aug.html#comment-63787 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/08/hi_fires_30_aug.html#comment-63787 Thu, 30 Aug 2007 14:35:27 -0600 dang if that ain't exactly what it does look like... ..and i would know, having put on a couple pounds meself! http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/08/hi_fires_30_aug.html#comment-63776 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/08/hi_fires_30_aug.html#comment-63776 Thu, 30 Aug 2007 08:53:31 -0600 I cruz in mah white truck.... http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/08/hi_fires_30_aug.html#comment-63773 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/08/hi_fires_30_aug.html#comment-63773 Thu, 30 Aug 2007 08:36:36 -0600
