Republican Senator Larry Craig, 62, from Idaho craves a delicious dickhead every now and then.  He has plead guilty to charges of misdemeanor disorderly conduct after police witnessed him engaging in lewd behavior in the mens restroom at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.  Here's what happened: Senator Craig entered the mens restroom and lingered outside a stall occupied by a plainclothes police officer.  Unknown to Senator Craig, police were at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport conducting sting operations to investigate allegations of lewd conduct at the airport's main terminal.

Senator Craig kept watching an undercover police officer through the crack created by the hinges in the stall.  Now feeling horny and invincible he entered the next-door stall and placed his luggage against the opening under the stall door.  Gay men use their bags to block the view from the front of their stall.  He then tapped his foot against the officer's foot and put his hand under the divider separating the two men.  This is the common signal that a man wants to have sex.  The police officer reported "At 1216 hours, Craig tapped his right foot. I recognized this as a signal used by persons wishing to engage in lewd conduct. Craig tapped his toes several times and moves his foot closer to my foot. I moved my foot up and down slowly. While this was occurring, the male in the stall to my right was still present. I could hear several unknown persons in the restroom that appeared to use the restroom for its intended use. The presence of others did not seem to deter Craig as he moved his right foot so that it touched the side of my left foot which was within my stall area."  The report said Craig swiped his hand beneath the stall divider several times, and the undercover police office flashed his police identification under the stall.  "With my left hand near the floor, I pointed towards the exit," the report said. "Craig responded, 'No!' I again pointed towards the exit. Craig exited the stall with his roller bags without flushing the toilet. ... Craig said he would not go. I told Craig that he was under arrest, he had to go, and that I didn't want to make a scene. Craig then left the restroom."

During the booking process Senator Craig handed his Senate business card to the police officer and said, "What do you think about that?"  He was detained for approximately 45 minutes, interviewed, photographed, fingerprinted and released, and police prepared a formal complaint for interference with privacy and disorderly conduct.

Because Senator Craig pleaded guilty to a crime, the incident may be reviewed by the Senate ethics committee, chaired by Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif).

Back in 1982, Senator Craig denied rumors that he was under investigation as part of a federal probe into allegations that lawmakers on Capitol Hill had sexual relationships with congressional pages, saying the "false allegations" made him "mad as hell."  Then in 2006, a gay activist blogger said he had spoken with men who had sexual encounters with Senator Craig, including in the restrooms at Union Station.  You can find that information here.   His voting record has earned him top ratings from social conservative groups such as the American Family Association, Concerned Women for America and the Family Research Council.  He supports a federal constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage, telling his colleagues that it was "important for us to stand up now and protect traditional marriage, which is under attack by a few unelected judges and litigious activists."  In 1996, he also voted in favor of the Defense of Marriage Act, which denies federal recognition to same-sex marriages and prevents states from being forced to recognize the marriages of gay and lesbian couples legally performed in other states.  He has also opposed expanding the federal hate crimes law to cover offenses motivated by anti-gay bias and, in 1996, voted against a bill that would have outlawed employment discrimination based on sexual orientation, which failed by a single vote in the Senate.  He is a strong advocate for the rights of gun owners. He has a close association with the National Rifle Association and at one time sat on its board of directors.

Senator Craig has resigned as the U.S. Senate co-chairman of Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign. Craig served as co-chair with Robert Bennett of Utah.  Senator Craig is married with three grown children and nine grandchildren.
