Senator David Vitter (R-LA) is still in hiding, but Larry Craig (R-ID) is in the news again. It seems the bathroom stall where he solicited a police officer for sex has become a shrine of sorts:
"We had to just stop and check out the bathroom," said Sally Westby of Minneapolis, on her way to Guatemala with her husband Jon.
"In fact, it's Jon's second time - he was here last week already."
Royal Zino, who works at the shoeshine shop next to the public lavatory, said "it's been crazy".
And Craig has support from what might be an unwelcome source - the ACLU:
But the ACLU says it doesn't matter whether he solicited sex because that's not a crime.
"It is a crime to have sex in public. It is not a crime to propose or solicit sex in public, whether it's in a bar or in a bathroom," [executive director Anthony] Romero said.
Sadly for the senator, a crime is usually anything the state is a crime. But this should be fun to watch!
Oh for Christ's sake! LOL

Thanks for the belly laugh.

No, it's not a crime to ask for sex in a public place. Not at all.
It IS, however, a crime to invade the stall of the person next to you...

Sally,
If your husband has been thru the Minneapolis airport to go to Guatamela AND used the men's room on both trips, you might, just might, be his beard.

I bet no tourist is able to replicate Larry's signature wide stance.

Is it just me, or does Vitter's hooker look a lot like his wife?
If you're banging hookers while you're married, why would one choose hookers who look like one's wife?
I mean, couldn't you just bang your wife if you wanted to bang someone who looked like your wife?
And, they're both named Wendy?
Did he plan this? Did he think that he might fool Jesus/God/Da Popa if his hookers all looked like his wife and were named Wendy?
And, did the madams that Vitter used know about this? Did they have niche marketing plans for Vitter? Were girls surgically altered to appear more like Wendy Vitter? did they change their names?
How deep does this go? And how does it all tie in to 9/11?
