I'd love to defend Larry Craig.

If he hadn't supported hateful, anti-gay legislation.
Yeah. Least he should be doing now is come out and say he's bi.

So, yeah. He broke a law. Big deal. Opebo's jaywalking analogy is pretty spot on. I can't believe the State of Minnesota actually wastes police ressources on having guys sit around in public restroom stalls and wait for someone to tap their foot, when they should be out catching tax evaders and murderers. It's not as if the lawmakers view the crime involved as all that serious either - Craig's not facing jail time after all.
(Would be a somewhat different matter if Craig's conduct had somehow happened to come to the police's notice.)

Craig's attitude seems to be "OMG AIMA SENATER, SO LET ME GOEZ!!!111"
Yeah, that bit's bad as well, but hardly surprising isn't it?... I'm not saying I think the guy's likeable or anything.
But (just like Bill Clinton's arguable perjury) he did that in a situation he was brought into by (by mine and, if they thought about it enoug, by most people's standards) improper action by the state. Which is a majorly extenuating circumstance in my book.
