Although what he really said was, "a lie gets half way round the world before the Senator has a chance to get his pants down."

There's a perfectly reasonable explaination for this, he has a wide stance when he takes a piss...........uh huh

spudw · 08-29-2007, 02:33 PM

Would it be such a big deal were he a Democrat Senator?

No Spud, he'd probably be a gay man with nothing to be ashamed about instead of trolling public bathrooms and leading a double life while lying to his wife/family/constituents.

Actually I'm not so sure he's "gay"...I think he's just screwed up and repressed. I feel some anguish about how a furtive sexual lifestyle has ruined these people's lives and re-inforced negative gay stereotypes as seedy thrillseekers.

Thats so embarrassing....and a Senator too. You'd think they'd be powerful enough to make things like this go away...lol

BMW named new product communication chief
Dirk Arnold takes over as head of Product Communications BMW Automobile
31.08.2007

Munich. As of 1 September 2007, Dirk Arnold (41) will take over as head of Product Communications BMW Automobile at BMW Group Corporate Communications. Dirk Arnold joined the BMW Group in 2002, so far being responsible for various marketing functions. Currently, he is the head of BMW Market and Trend Research.

Source: BMW AG

EniLab: I find this news interesting due Mr Arnold is a head of Market & Trend Research.

Meaning: Mr. Arnold - as the new product communication chief will be able to communicate new niche products & new features more properly & efficiently - with strong arguments based on market / trend researches.

That shows BMW won't make same mistake as they did with E65 7er and other new designs - not being able to communicate / explain features & designs properly.

Mr. Arnold as product communication BMW Automobile chief is a sign BMW are coming with some ground-braking products & tech in the future.

Mr. Arnold- on the job and pulling our chain.

well, like i always say; if you think that you might be gay, or similarly, if you seem that you might be gay, then you surely are; not that there is anything wrong with that.

Brookside · 09-01-2007, 10:38 AM

Yes, this is true- the repression and then pleading guilty to a minor charge like Senator Craig did only makes things stranger - another politician bites the dust.
The interview tape between Craig and the cop who arrested him is out released and listening to it - it sounds like entrapment- maybe a charge Craig could beat in court.
The episode is seedy. I'm sorry I brought it up.
