A Republican senator pleaded guilty earlier this month to a misdemeanor disorderly conduct charge stemming from his arrest at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, according to state criminal records.
Roll Call newspaper reported Monday that Sen. Larry Craig of Idaho was apprehended June 11 by a plainclothes police officer investigating complaints of lewd behavior in an airport men’s room.
Help me out here, what is exactly “lewd behavior in the mens room?” My first thought is of Lloyed Christmas on the commode after drinking some industrial strength laxative – but I have a feeling it’s something different.
He goes on to say he regrets his guilty plea.
I, for better or worse, wanted to find out what he did too. Apparently the officer took the stall next to the beloved Senator. The senator reached over with his foot and touched the foot of the officer… which apparently is some kind of secret code for “I’m a bathroom-pervert, are you a bathroom-pervert?” So he didn’t actually get to the lewd behavior… even though it seems obvious that it was his intent. I’m just not sure why he didn’t use the “I thought he had a bug on his shoe” defense.
