Republican (what else?) Senator Larry Craig of Idaho has pled guilty to a disorderly conduct charge in Minnesota.
"Roll Call, a Capitol Hill newspaper, which first reported the case, said on its Web site Monday that Craig was arrested June 11 by a plainclothes officer investigating complaints of lewd conduct in a men's restroom at the airport...
"Roll Call, citing the report, said Sgt. Dave Karsnia made the arrest after an encounter in which he was seated in a stall next to a stall occupied by Craig. Karsnia described Craig tapping his foot, which Karsnia said he "recognized as a signal used by persons wishing to engage in lewd conduct."
"Last fall, Craig called allegations from a gay-rights activist that he's had homosexual relationships "completely ridiculous."
Mike Rogers, who bills himself as a gay activist blogger, published the allegations on his Web site, http://www.blogactive.com, in October 2006."
Tsk, tsk.
It's been months since we had a Republican sex scandal. How many weeks before this guy admits it, apologizes to his family and enters rehab?
Sarcasm aside, it's too bad social conditions were such 40 or 50 years ago that this guy (if he is indeed guilty) felt it necessary to hide.
But I do enjoy a Republican sex scandal...they're so much dirtier than Democratic ones. Democrats are more forgiving of human frailties than GOPers. With the latter, sanctimoniousness is a virtue.
