Larry Craig Attempts To Use Campaign Funds For Sex Scandal Legal Defense

this will be a great test for the right they are against Gay rights and for criminal exploitation so let's see what side of the rest room stall this falls on.

There are many, many discrepancies and much debate over what is appropriate use of campaign funds and what is not. However, I think I can safely say that most people would agree that using said funds to stay out of jail when one is caught (literally) with his pants down in an airport bathroom propositioning for sex is inappropriate. Apparently, however, former Idaho Senator Larry Craig disagrees.

He disagrees so much, in fact, that he used $217,000 worth of campaign money to defend himself regarding a certain incident in 2007 where he was arrested for soliciting sex with an undercover officer in the Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport. Now, there is no way that Craig could have known that it was a cop and that there was a sting operation going on regarding men cruising for airport sex,was there? No harm, no foul, right? Wrong. Craig was arrested and pleaded guilty to a disorderly conduct charge, which he would later try to unsuccessfully reverse after the incident went public. However the good Senator wants to twist this, the facts remain: he was soliciting for sex in one of the cruisiest airports in the nation, got caught, pleaded guilty, and used campaign funds to try to clean up the resulting mess. No matter how appropriately Larry Craig might think the money was used, U.S. District Court Judge Amy Berman Jackson, is skeptical. She says:

That had no connection to his duties, other than being in an airport.
