The scumbag Senator Larry Craig is being slapped with a "letter of admonition" from the Senate Ethics Committee. In case you were living under a rock last year, Craig is the Senator who tried to get a blow job from an undercover cop in a restroom at a Minneapolois airport. (Although all gay men don't engage in it, we all know the steps involved in getting laid in a public restroom. The arresting officer indicated that Craig took pretty much all the steps.)
You'll remember that the 62-year-old married Senator--who adamantly denies he's gay--ppleaded guilty and then tried to reverse the plea when the world found out what he'd done. At that point, he said he'd resign...but a few days later he said he changed his mind.
The Committee also criticized him for using more than $200,000 in campaign funds to pay the legal fees he incurred from getting caught trying to get his dick sucked. They gave him a little slap for attempting to get "special and favorable treatment" by flashing his Senate business card at the officer who turned down his advances.
Like so many Republicans, this lying scumbag should have been forcibly removed from office long ago. Instead, he got a letter. And he had the nerve to respond to it by saying "While I am disappointed and strongly disagree with the conclusions reached by the Senate Ethics Committee, from the outset I have encouraged the Committee to act in a timely fashion and they have done so. I will continue to serve the people of Idaho."
I would like to say I can't imagine why the Committee would stop short of full adjudication hearings but I think the answer is fairly obvious. I guess if Craig's gonna be taking things in the "backdoor," it may as well be politics. It's a shame the rest of us end up getting fucked in the process.
