A Question For Sen. Craig

After he was caught in flagrante delicto, as it were, in a Minneapolis airport men’s room, Larry Craig, the U.S. senator from Idaho, apologized and said, “I have little control over what people choose to believe, but clearly my name is important to me.” Craig, as you know, was caught in a sting operation in which he allegedly was soliciting sex from an undercover cop.
The sordid tale included details of secret under-the-stall hand signals.
Well, that was way back in June. Three months later, another story got almost as much attention as Craig’s dubious nomination for “vice” president. It was the survey that revealed that one-third of men don’t wash their hands after going to the men’s room.
I’ve always assumed it was closer to one-tenth which is why I touch I try not to touch anything in the newspaper’s pissoir without practically wrapping myself in paper towel.
But the question for Craig should be obvious: Does at least wash his hands?
Inquiring minds want to know.

The Republican Party should wash their hands, of Craig.
In the Senate and the Congress, they wash their hands of any small bits of lingering integrity and dry their hands with $100 bills. And they scratch their ears with feculent billion dollar bills, thus all the earmarks.
Well put, ed. Well put!
Shouldn’t Craig be all washed up by now ? If he stays on the Democrats are going to love taking potty shots at
the Republicans.
