“Idaho Sen. Larry Craig acted improperly in an airport men’s room sex sting, the Senate Ethics Committee said Wednesday,” reports the AP. “In a letter, the ethics panel said Craig’s attempt to withdraw his guilty plea in a June arrest at a Minneapolis airport was an effort to evade legal consequences of his own actions.”

“I’m not a journalist…,” he told us defensively. “I don’t know my way around a Washington scandal.”
