Sen. Larry Craig (R-Idaho) arrested: Guilty!
See the (funny!) report below (sounds like the mens' room at Deering Library)...
Udder fun facts about Larry Craig:
He grew up on a ranch outside Midvale in Washington County. (see: Brokeback Mountain)
Craig was a member of the Idaho National Guard from 1970 to 1972. (see: draft dodging)
Craig has been on the Board of Directors of the National Rifle Association since 1983. (see: He sees dead people.)
On June 11, 2007, Senator Craig was arrested at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport on suspicion of lewd conduct. He pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct in August 2007. He paid more than $500 in fines and fees and was given one year of probation. A 10-day jail sentence was stayed. According to Roll Call, the arresting officer filed the following in his report of the incident:
At 1216 hours, Craig tapped his right foot. I recognized this as a signal used by persons wishing to engage in lewd conduct. Craig tapped his toes several times and moves his foot closer to my foot.... The presence of others did not seem to deter Craig as he moved his right foot so that it touched the side of my left foot which was within my stall area. Craig then proceeded to swipe his hand under the stall divider several times.
Craig stated "that he has a wide stance when going to the bathroom and that his foot may have touched mine," the arrest report states. Craig also told the arresting officer that he reached down with his right hand to pick up a piece of paper that was on the floor. "It should be noted that there was not a piece of paper on the bathroom floor, nor did Craig pick up a piece of paper," the arresting officer said in the report.
At one point Craig handed the plainclothes sergeant who arrested him a business card that identified him as a U.S. Senator and said, "What do you think about that?" 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 [August 27] afternoon.

Well, good luck with the whole coming out thing Senator. They could use more good people fighting the bullshit prejudice rather than fueling it with votes for "defending marriage."
How about defending things that marriage is supposed to defend, like love, community, responsibility and respect?
Maybe if you believed in these things, you would see what a sham those who want to "defend" marriage are. They have neither love, nor community, nor respect and they shirk taking responsibility for their own lives when others are so much easier to judge. Perhaps it's on this last little snag you have the hardest time. Take responsibility for yourself and what you are, respect it, love it, have some fun with it, get involved with communities that allow you to be what you are and leave all this bullshit behind. Then you won't have to point so many fingers that should have been so many thumbs in your eye. Leave Bill Clinton alone, leave men and women alone when they want to marry each other and spend some time looking inward and accepting it, rather than looking anywhere other than there and pointing fingers at every single person who has hidden something disgraceful or paraded something beautiful.
Good luck. I hope you have some great sex with some beautiful men in places that are not the Minneapolis bathroom.
The sham is just too depressing.
If it was just a he said/he said misunderstanding then why did he plead guilty to disorderly conduct?
