Oh, Good Lord
I'll want to hear the other side of this, but, man, does this sound creepy:
Sen. Larry Craig (R-ID) "was arrested in June at a Minnesota airport by a plainclothes police officer investigating lewd conduct complaints in a men’s public restroom," according to an arrest report obtained by Roll Call.
"Craig’s arrest occurred just after noon on June 11 at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. On Aug. 8, he pleaded guilty to misdemeanor disorderly conduct in the Hennepin County District Court. He paid more than $500 in fines and fees, and a 10-day jail sentence was stayed. He also was given one year of probation with the court that began on Aug. 8."
"A spokesman for Craig described the incident as a 'he said/he said misunderstanding,' and said the office would release a fuller statement later Monday afternoon."
So, is Craig just hanging out in public restrooms?
Additionally, if the police were responding to a complaint and the undercover officer also witnessed the lewd behavior this is more than a "he said/he said" situation.
Hmmm…I cannot decide what category to list a post about a Senator getting arrested in a bathroom for lewd behavior. Any suggestions?
UPDATE:
If you feel like it (and I know you probably don't) you can read from the police report here.

How about starting a file called:
“Get A Friggin’ Room!”
Can also put all those back-logged Bill Clinton files in there … And don’t forget Peewee Herman

What is it with members of Congress and unhinged libidos? Of course, this is nothing new: don’t forget Wilbur Mills, Fanne Fox, and their Tidal Basin Tango of 1974….

I don’t care if he’s straight, don’t care if he’s gay, don’t care who he was doinking or where.
What I care about is just how mind-numbingly, bone-crushing STUPID he’s shown himself to be.
Over and over again all these politicos just keep showing just how completely out of touch they are with anything but their own lust – lust for power, lust for glory or good old fashioned lust for quickies.
I’m SO sick of idiotic politicians.

Just add Craig to the ever-lengthening list of elected officials who will never be role-models… included but not limited to: T. Kennedy, B. Clinton, T. Delay, W. Jefferson, T. Stevens…
