Being gay is neither despicable, nor honorable. It is a fact of life.

Soliciting sex in a public restroom doesn’t quite reach the level of despicable either. It’s more pathetic.

But condemning a practice in speeches and votes that you personally practice in private is undeniable hypocrisy.

Posted By pat, huntington, ny: "Yes its absolutely dispicable to lie about pleading guilty to a crime when you're a US Senator. NO, its not dispicable to be gay. He's an honor!"

Frist was not saying that Craig is despicable for lying about pleading guilty. Frist was not saying that Craig is despicable for being gay. Frist was saying that soliciting lewd acts in a public restroom at an airport is despicable. I don't care if you're gay, straight, or androgenous. Soliciting lewd acts in a public restroom is despicable.

Whether or not the accusations are true or false is a legal matter for Craig to rectify on his own. If they are true then yes, they are despicable.

I think this guy is being setup.

I don't know why I don't care why
but that cop did not know who he was arresting and then it is not hard to believe that the Senator was in such a state of fear that he took the quickest door to get out of there.

His only other option would have been a night in jail while he called his wife or lawyer to fly out and bail him out of jail.

And as for the recorded interrogation how was he suppose to use his left hand to go under the right wall of the bathroom stall.

I would really hope that some news team would go out there and put that to a test because the cop said he saw his wedding ring on his left hand while his feet were both pointed forward and he was seated on the toilet...

I don't even know who this senator is I have never seen him stand up in the senate and make a big stand on any issue so I am not on his side

but the accusations are so flimsy that any man using a public bathroom better find one with single occupancy and a door that locks.

I think all the arrests that cop made need to come under investigation and we can see how many people he gave the choice of a night in jail or to sign a paper and become a notch on his belt.

This is not a Democrat/Republican issue. However, it is an issue on whether we need to start imposing term limits on ALL public officials. Isn't there a saying about absolute power corrupting absolutely?

IT TAKES ONE TO KNOW ONE AND FRIST IS NOTHING BUT A BLOW HARD, NO PUN INTENDED. BUT THE WAY HE RAN CONGRESS HE OUGHT TO JUST GO AWAY.

The charges against Frist were despicable too in the HCA scandal. Although they were true, Frist was never convicted of anything. So now he is part of the Tennessee Mafia wanting Thompson to be President. What a laugh!

If the title of the article is "Frist weighs in on Craig scandel"why is most of the article devoted to Fred Thompson?

Another Republican Hate Speech against a Republican. Boy ya gotta love this party's loyalty!

I doubt anyone cares when Fred Flintstone jumps into the race. IMHO he'll be coming last or a close second no matter when he jumps in!

Its time for Frist to plead "guilty" for all of his despicable behavior while pretending to be a "moral" human being!

Bill Frist??? Isn't he gone? Why should we care about the opinions of a 'doctor' who thought that diagnosing a patient through a few seconds of video was legitimate?

Bill Frist...the jerk who couldn't keep his nose out of the Schiavo Family personal tragedy. Larry Craig...the jerk that couldn't keep his nose off the men's room floor. Fred Thompson...the...who's Fred Thompson?

OH YES when Frist is speaking to a bunch of right wing conservatives he wants to get them fired up....but in reality all the right wingers want is someone to speak out for them they don't care who or what kind of a person that is as long as they preach their message ask Frist he is one//// that is the reason we leftys look at most republicans as hypocrites...

Yes its absolutely dispicable to lie about pleading guilty to a crime when you're a US Senator. NO, its not dispicable to be gay. He's an honor!

Fred who? The guy from Love Boat? What's he doing running for President? And I heard Craig was looking for WMDs in that stall.
