Is Nothing Sacred?

It doesn't look like the Minneapolis authorities will have to worry too much about that airport bathroom being a haven for public sex - it's too crowded with tourists. That's right, the bathroom in which Larry Craig was ensnared in a frothy mix of sex, crime, and politics is attracting crowds:

'People are taking pictures,' Karen Evans, an information officer at Minneapolis-St Paul international airport, told Associated Press.

Now it seems that tourists passing through the airport cannot resist the temptation to have a look at the scene.

'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.'

Hmm, wonder if there's any wide stance toe-tappin' in Jon's closet?

Speaking of the still Republican Senator from Idaho, he's gained support from an unlikely ally - the ACLU. The civil liberties groups has filed a an amicus brief on Craig's behalf, arguing essentially that what Craig is accused of doing - publicly soliciting sex, not soliciting public sex - is protected First Amendment speech.
