Thanks to Senator Larry Craig (R-ID), I now know which men's room to avoid at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. The men's room located in the Northstar Crossing of the terminal is apparently a hotbed of anonymous gay sex. Complaints to that effect prompted the airport police to station Sergeat Dave Karsnia in a stall of the men's room on June 8, where before long Sergeant Karsnia found himself solicited by a gentleman in the neighboring stall who turned out to be Senator Craig. The arrest report reflects that Senator Craig initially trotted out some creative explanations for his behavior, though Roll Call now reports that Senator Craig pleaded guilty to the resulting charge of disorderly conduct earlier this month.

Contacted by Roll Call for comment, a spokesman for Senator Craig described the incident as a “he said/he said misunderstanding.” Sergeant Karnia said Craig engaged in disorderly conduct. Senator Craig pleaded guilty. At the moment Senator Craig isn't speaking for himself. When he does get around to speaking for himself again, he'll be able to clear up the misunderstanding, whatever it might be.
