Lewd foot tapping

Senator Craig of Idaho pled guilty to a misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct in association with an incident in a men's room. Accusations have been levied that he was engaged in a "lewd conduct" and that he was propositioning a police officer for gay sex.

The specifics of the case are as follows. He was in an airport bathroom, in a stall. In the stall, he was tapping his foot which, according to a police sergeant is "a signal used by persons wishing to engage in lewd conduct." Next, apparently, came the lewd conduct. He allegedly passed his business card, showing that he was a Senator, under the stall to the plain clothes police officer next to him.

And, that's it.

Sen. Craig's future in question after sex arrest

WASHINGTON - Idaho Sen. Larry Craig, who has voted against gay marriage and opposes extending special protections to gay and lesbian crime victims, finds his political future in doubt after pleading guilty to misdemeanor charges stemming from complaints of lewd conduct in a men's room.

The conservative three-term senator, who has represented Idaho in Congress for more than a quarter-century, is up for re-election next year. He hasn't said if he will run for a fourth term in 2008 and was expected to announce his plans this fall.

A spokesman, Sidney Smith, was uncertain late Monday if Craig's guilty plea in connection with an incident at the Minneapolis airport would affect his re-election plans.

"It's too early to talk about anything about that," Smith said.
