Sen. Craig loses appeal in airport sex sting case
By STEVE KARNOWSKI – 1 hour ago

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Idaho Sen. Larry Craig has lost his latest attempt to withdraw his guilty plea in a Minneapolis airport men's room sex sting.

A three-judge panel of the Minnesota Court of Appeals on Tuesday rejected the Republican's bid to toss out his disorderly conduct conviction.

Craig was arrested in June 2007 in a Minneapolis airport bathroom stall by an undercover officer who said the senator solicited sex.

He pleaded guilty to the misdemeanor and paid a fine, but changed his mind after word of his arrest became public. Craig insisted he was innocent, but the case effectively ended his political career.

Craig's attorney argued before the appeals court this September that there was insufficient evidence for any judge to find him guilty. Prosecutors said his guilty plea should stand.
 
"Senator Larry Craig Loses His Appeal"

If he had any appeal in the first place, he wouldn't have had to solicit hummers in a bathroom.

Took the words right out ... scratch that and replace with, "I was going to say that."
 
Big deal. Governor Bloggo of Illinois in the news today. Craig is/was yesterday's.
 
He's only doing it because of his wife. If he was single he would have weathered the storm and been done with it.
 
That is what I heard as well.

I wonder what his boyfriend will say when he hears that news.

As long as the rent is paid on the condo and the Am-Express bill is paid every month, the boyfriend doesn't care what the Senator says in public.

He knows that on Tuesday afternoon, Larry Craig is on his knees saying, "I've been a very bad Senator."

Ain't love grand?
 
If he didn't do it he sure screwed up when he made that plea. He should be jailed for stupid if nothing else - or the lawyer that talked him into it should.
 
This thread needs pics of the wide stance.

Hotness.

Why has anonymous, bathroom-solicited sex gotten such a bum rap because of this incident?

One particularly aggravating US Senator's dumb mistake does NOT ruin an entire, semi-legitimate form of human interaction.
 
Apparently Larry Craig's job in the US Senate required him to solicit anonymous toilet-stall sex.

Ex-Idaho Sen. Craig says Minneapolis bathroom trip that led to arrest was official business
Article by: JOHN MILLER , Associated Press Updated: August 3, 2012 - 11:46 PM

BOISE, Idaho - Former Republican U.S. Sen. Larry Craig aims to fend off a federal election lawsuit against him by arguing his infamous June 11, 2007, Minneapolis airport bathroom visit that ended in his sex-sting arrest was part of his official Senate business.

Craig is hoping to avoid repaying $217,000 in campaign funds the Federal Election Commission claims he misused to defend himself.

The FEC sued Craig in June in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., alleging he converted the campaign money to personal use by spending it on his legal defense after he was accused of soliciting sex in a Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport bathroom. The commission argues Craig's defense had no connection to his campaign for federal office.

Craig counters that money tied to his airport bathroom trip was for neither personal use nor his campaign, but fell under his official, reimbursable duties as senator because he was traveling between Idaho and the nation's capital for work.

He cites a U.S. Senate rule in which reimbursable per diem expenses include all charges for meals, lodging, hotel fans, cleaning, pressing of clothing — and bathrooms.

"Not only was the trip itself constitutionally required, but Senate rules sanction reimbursement for any cost relating to a senator's use of a bathroom while on official travel," wrote Andrew Herman, Craig's lawyer in Washington, D.C., in documents filed Thursday.
