U.S. Senator Gets Flushed

The Smoking Gun has U.S. Senator Larry Craig’s arrest report.

But I’m thinking that unless soliciting sex in an airport men’s room is treason (and who knows, these days), or a felony (which it is not), Craig should not have been arrested.

Article I, Section 6 of the U.S. Consitution: “They shall in all Cases, except Treason, Felony and Breach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their Attendance at the Session of their respective Houses, and in going to and returning from the same; and for any Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other Place.” [italics added]

Well, maybe it is “breach of the peace.”

The thought of sex, of any kind, in an airport men’s room chills my blood. I don’t even like going in there wearing sandals.

As for Senator Craig, I really don’t care what he does. I do care if he is a lying hypocrite.

But maybe I just don’t understand. Perhaps this explanation from Jesus’ General last October is a more generous take:

And then there are the reports that Sen. Larry Craig is homosexual. I don’t believe a word of it. Sure, maybe it’s true that some guy put his little soldier into the senator’s mouth a couple of times in train station restrooms, but that doesn’t mean Craig’s a homosexual.

Being a woman, you might not know this, but that kind of thing happens all of the time to good, Godly, heterosexual men, sometimes as often as four or five times a week. You’ll be crawling on the restroom floor, looking for something you dropped when you had your pants down and, bam, somebody will accidentally stick his little soldier into your mouth. Of course, you’ll naturally mistake it for a cigar and puff on it for awhile before it starts to taste funny, but it’s all very innocent. I’m sure that’s what happened to Sen. Craig.
