Idaho Senator Pleads Guilty after Airport Arrest

What the hell is going on? Has everybody lost the minds? A United States Senator soliciting sex in a bathroom? Every time you turn around some celebrity or powerful person is being arrested and/or sent to prison. We are obviously facing a morale crisis in America. And those we expect to lead us out of this abyss are some of the worst offenders:

Sen. Larry Craig of Idaho pleaded guilty this month to misdemeanor disorderly conduct after being arrested at the Minneapolis airport.

A Hennepin County court docket showed Craig pleading guilty to the disorderly conduct charge Aug. 8, with the court dismissing a charge of gross misdemeanor interference to privacy.

The court docket said the Republican senator paid $575 in fines and fees. He was put on unsupervised probation for a year. A sentence of 10 days in the county workhouse was stayed.

Roll Call, a Capitol Hill newspaper, which first reported the case, said on its Web site Monday that Craig was arrested June 11 by a plainclothes officer investigating complaints of lewd conduct in a men’s restroom at the airport.
