Busted

So why don't you stay for the night? Or maybe a bite?
I could show you my favorite obsession.
I've been making a man with blond hair and a tan
And he's good for relieving my tension

This is getting tijious, to use the southern phonological [tedious].

"Senator Larry E. Craig (R-ID) 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 (GOP Senator Pleaded Guilty After Restroom Arrest .)"

Apparently, the news just trickled down to the Senate. The Singin' Senator recently paid $500 in fines to Hennepin County and was placed on one year's probation beginning August 8, 2007.

Three-term Senator, Craig, 62, was a member of the Singing Senators barbershop quartet, which broke up when member John Ashcroft became the singin' Attorney General, and ran unsuccessfully in 2002 to become the GOP whip. A pity, that.

"While he was being interviewed about the bathroom incident, Craig gave police a business card showing that he is a U.S. senator. 'What do you think about that?' Craig asked the officer." Yawn. Just another hypocritical, anti-gay rights, pretty face from the Republican roll call.

If Craig doesn't run again, (former Governor Jim) "Risch has said he is interested in Craig's seat."

One has to be careful about the wording of these things.
