Craig's Short List



Senator Larry Craig of Idaho lost his appeal to withdraw his guilty plea for disorderly conduct. You remember that the Senator got caught in the sting operation cruising for gay sex in the Minneapolis-St. Paul airport bathroom.

Once the story became public, Craig denied any wrongdoing and his attorney claimed the undercover officer misconstrued the Senator's foot tapping and 'wide stance.'

Whatever.

Craig did not resign his senate seat, but did not run for reelection and he will be out of office in January.

He could still take his appeal to the state's Supreme Court, but, really, why bother?

The airport men's room incident effectively ended Craig's political career. He should after January have more time for cruising.

I'd like to write a song for Senator Craig. It starts something like this:

I Da Ho from Idaho
Watch your step
Watch my step
It means I want to Love You

I Da Ho from Idaho
My wide stance means
Take off your pants
These lips have entertained on the Senate floor

Yea, I'll fill you buster
Yea, I'll fill you buster
Yea, I'll fill you buster

I will be in the Minneapolis/St Paul International Airport on the 19th. I plan to get a photo of the restroom. Heh.
