  You Almost Feel Sorry for the Guy
Idaho senator Larry Craig, a Republican (of course), has been arrested and fined for trying to pick up a cop in a men's bathroom in Minneapolis.

Here's one of my favorite lines of all time, from the Roll Call story on the arrest:

A spokesman for Craig described the incident as a “he said/he said misunderstanding.”

Is that what they're calling it these days?

Among other odd behaviors Craig manifested while sitting in a bathroom stall, he rubbed his foot against the foot of the policeman in the stall next to him.

As the arresting office put it in his report, Craig stated “that he has a wide stance when going to the bathroom and that his foot may have touched mine."

That is just too much information.

I almost feel sorry for Craig, who is married (of course), but clearly has some personal issues. But then you read his positions on civil rights issues: voted to ban gay marriage, voted against adding sexual orientation to definition of hate crimes, voted against prohibiting job discrimination based on sexual discrimination, and so on, and so on.

Classic.
