Senator Craig listed in top 10 of corrupt politicians


Judicial Watch Announces List of Washington’s “Ten Most Wanted Corrupt Politicians” for 2007

# 3: Senator Larry Craig (R-ID): In one of the most shocking scandals of 2007, Senator Craig was caught by police attempting to solicit sex in a Minneapolis International Airport men’s bathroom during the summer. Senator Craig reportedly “sent signals” to a police officer in an adjacent stall that he wanted to engage in sexual activity. When the police officer showed Craig his police identification under the bathroom stall divider and pointed toward the exit, the senator reportedly exclaimed 'No!'” When asked to produce identification, Craig presented police his U.S. Senate business card and said, “What do you think of that?” The power play didn’t work. Craig was arrested, charged and entered a guilty plea. Despite enormous pressure from his Republican colleagues to resign from the Senate, Craig refused.

Comment: One may not agree with the entire list, but it is worth reading. This one in particular is an embarrassment to the Republican party and ought to resign!
