Guilty Of Disorderly Conduct ... in His Closet*

Bigger Problems Than A Bathroom Sex Scandal
Bigger Problems Than A Bathroom Sex Scandal
Conservative Republican senator Larry Craig is in trouble for wanting to have anonymous sex with another man in an airport bathroom. But he clearly has bigger problems than public humiliation, a misdemeanor disorderly-conduct charge, and loss of his seat in the US Senate: namely, double-pleated and tapered khakis, loaded Blackberry belt clip, shiny penny loafers, and a pen in his shirt pocket, without a protector.

If we were his wife, we'd be wearing sunglasses, too, or possibly a Nixon mask.

* Closet. Get it?
