Restroom Follies - Bob Bauman

Bauman=Craig?

A comment in an earlier post on Larry Craig expressed the wish that the folks of Idaho would keep him. I was immediately reminded of Bob Bauman.  Rep. Bauman represented the very conservative Eastern Shore of Maryland.  He wasn't my congressman, but I loved him because he was a real conservative, and one of Maryland's very few Republicans.  Here's the Wiki. “ A devout Catholic, he was married to Carol Dawson, a fellow founding member of YAF, and they had four children. Bauman was arrested on October 3, 1980, for attempting to solicit sex from a 16-year-old male prostitute and "oral sodomy" [1], contributing to his electoral defeat one month later. ” The Eastern Shore folk elected Democrat Roy Dyson to replace him. Here's the Wiki. “ In addition to disclosures about Dyson's receipt of campaign funds and honoraria from defense contractors, Dyson's political demise was hastened by the suicide of his administrative assistant and top aide, Tom Pappas, on May 1, 1988. Pappas leaped from a New York City hotel on the day that an article appeared in the Washington Post asserting that Pappas had hired young male staffers in Dyson's office and attempted to force them to drink and socialize with him. The revelation caused speculation about Dyson's own sexual orientation but he denied that he was a homosexual. ” The Eastern Shore folk dumped Dyson and elected school teacher Wayne Gilchrist, who vowed to limit himself to three terms, and refuse any pay raise (which was a big deal a the time).  That was 16 years ago and the lying sumbitch is still there (he took the pay raise too).  Thanks to Gerrymandering, Gilchrist is now my congressman, and I will do whatever I can to get him defeated.  He joins democrats in every meaningful vote, and is as stinking a RINO as exists.  Did I say he was a liar? So there you have it.  Larry Craig,  like Bob Bauman, is a good guy whose biggest crime, IMO, is the stupid way he's acting now,  and I'm afraid he's toast.  His successor won't be better, but could be worse.
