Senator Craig’s Troubles
The best that Senator Craig can hope for is that a hurricane pops up in the Gulf of Mexico real quick.
GOP Senator Pleaded Guilty After Restroom Arrest
Sen. Larry E. Craig pleaded guilty earlier this month to misdemeanor disorderly-conduct charges stemming from his June arrest by an undercover police officer in a men’s restroom at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, a court spokeswoman and the senator’s office said yesterday.
Craig issued a statement confirming his arrest and guilty plea, which were reported in the Capitol Hill newspaper Roll Call. But the Idaho Republican maintained that he had not engaged in any “inappropriate conduct” and that the airport police misunderstood his behavior.
“At the time of this incident, I complained to the police that they were misconstruing my actions. I was not involved in any inappropriate conduct,” Craig said. “I should have had the advice of counsel in resolving this matter. In hindsight, I should not have pled guilty. I was trying to handle this matter myself quickly and expeditiously.”
Notice how they prominently display the party affiliation in the headline for the story no less. Rest assurred you would have a hard time finding the party affiliation if it were a lousy democrat.
