Time Will Tell

Boise Weekly - Not Your Everyday Newspaper: News: News Shorts: UPDATE: Blogger "Outs" Craig: "...Update: Just as Boise Weekly went to press, a gay activist announced on a nationally-syndicated radio program that U.S. Sen. Larry Craig, a Republican, has engaged in same-sex relations for several years.

Mike Rogers, who contributes to www.blogactive.com, said after two years of research that he was '100 percent solid' with his information, and that he had spoken with men who had been sex partners with Craig.

The accusations, which were based on anonymous sources, were met with scorn and immediate denial by Craig spokesman Sid Smith in Boise.

'Mr. Rogers' claims are completely ridiculous and not based in fact,' Smith said. 'They're just ridiculous.'

Rogers made his claims on 'The Ed Schultz Show,' a liberal talk show that is not broadcast in the Treasure Valley but that can be heard online.

Rogers has made it his niche in the gay activist realm to 'out' conservative Republicans who, like Craig, have voted against gay rights issues. In June, Craig voted to approve a Constitutional ban on gay marriage. He is married to the former Suzanne Thompson. They have three children..."

Is it much ado about nothing or the beginning of the end of another career?
