David Phillips, an Internet technician based in Washington, has recently become quite well-known for describing some dirty sexual deeds Sen. Larry Craig performed on him in 1987. And now, in several shocking audio clips with The Idaho Statesman, four more men have described their close encounters with the senator — who will not resign from office, despite having repeatedly voting against gay issues during his long career in Congress.
Among them:
- Mike Jones, a former prostitute who had already revealed last year that he had sex with the Rev. Ted Haggard. Jones now reveals Craig paid him for sex approximately three years ago. jones1sourceprod_affiliate36.mp3, jones2sourceprod_affiliate36.mp3, jones3sourceprod_affiliate36.mp3, jones4sourceprod_affiliate36.mp3
- Greg Ruth, who says he was hit on by Craig at a GOP meeting in Coeur d’Alene in 1981 — when Ruth was a college Republican. ruth1sourceprod_affiliate36.mp3
- Tom Russell, who says he had a gay encounter with Craig at Bogus Basin in the early 1980s. russell1sourceprod_affiliate36.mp3, russell2sourceprod_affiliate36.mp3, russell3sourceprod_affiliate36.mp3
- A fifth gay man, who is from Boise but who declined to be named for fear of retaliation. He says he was in a men’s restroom at Denver International Airport in September 2006 when the man in the next stall moved his hand slowly, palm up, under the divider. “Alarmed, the man said he waited outside the restroom and then identified the man in the adjoining stall as Craig, whom he had met in Idaho,” the newspaper reports.
- Also, Phillips now describes his encounter in detail: phillips1sourceprod_affiliate36.mp3, phillips2sourceprod_affiliate36.mp3, phillips3sourceprod_affiliate36.mp3
Craig declined to comment for the Statesman report, but he made the following statement to NBC’s Matt Lauer in a prime-time interview that aired Oct. 16.: “I know what people feel like when they’re profiled, when innocent people get caught up in what I was caught in as an innocent person.”

Monday December 3rd, 2007 11:10 AM by BHDC Staff Filed under: Mike Rogers, Mike Jones Gayblogger Mike Rogers has long said that former prostitute Mike Jones lied about having a sexual relationship with Sen. Larry Craig. Apparently, Rogers has a gut instict on this one. And yet Jones has maintained his story, and spoke out in a widely hailed Idaho Statesman article this weekend. Interestingly, Rogers is now heralding the article as well, but he isn’t yet mentioning his past criticisms of Jones. At least one of his commenters is calling him on his apparent backtrack: Mike Jones must believe himself, at least. Mike Rogers, do you still not believe him? You were quite emphatic in questioning his honesty before. […]

Monday December 3rd, 2007 4:21 PM by BHDC Staff Filed under: Journalism, Gay, Larry CraigAfter all, the disgraced senator has called the newspaper “classless,” and has said its report detailing the claims of several men who claim to have had sexual encounters with him is “completely false.” Well, if it’s all not true, then why not sue?

Larry Craig. Matthews’ guest for the segment, Mike Rogers, again noted his distrust of Jones’s story, but concurrently hailed the Idaho Statesmen’s weekend story, which included Jones’s account therein. How can Rogers rationalize this? […]
