Larry Craig, the senator from Idaho, has picked up a lot of bad press over his recent arrest in Minneapolis. You may recall that the good senator got into a heap of trouble in a men’s restroom at MSP International airport when he was slapped with a lewd conduct charge that stuck, despite the efforts of his legal team.
The worst of the situation would seem to be behind the good senator. He resigned his post but quickly discovered that was a mistake. He has since reclaimed his position and will leave it to the good citizens of Idaho to decide his fate when they next go to the polls. His detractors in Washington D.C. have quieted down and the decibel level of rhetoric is down.
The folks from his home state seem to have overlooked the misdeeds of their senior senator. According to Craig’s biography, he has been inducted into the Idaho Hall of Fame this year. Way to go Larry. We wonder if there is a book deal in the works.
Things could be brewing once again if a certain group of eight gentlemen have their way. They all claim to have had sexual encounters with Senator Craig. The most vocal of the group is Mike Jones, the same escort who brought down TV evangelist Ted Haggard when he went public with their relationship. We haven’t seen any damning photos or sexually explicit video tapes but this new phase of the story is just beginning to unfold.
Presidential candidate and fellow Idaho resident Mitt Romney dumped Larry Craig from his campaign roster without so much as a backward glance. We’re not sure how Hillary Clinton feels because she has been surprisingly mum on the subject. But one thing is for sure – the good senator from Idaho would like people to know that he is all about the ladies.
