My visit to the Larry Craig bathroom

You might remember that back in June, little-known Republican Idaho Senator Larry Craig brought his wide stance to a restroom at the Minneapolis International Airport, and promptly got caught soliciting sex from an undercover police officer.

Since, by chance, my flight back to Northwestern went through that same Minneapolis International Airport earlier today, I'm proud to bring you the following pictures:


On the outside, it looks like any other airport bathroom. In fact, I've probably walked past it a hundred times and not known it was a hotspot for anonymous sex.


But inside, precautions have been taken. This is the actual toilet in the stall--the second from the right--that Larry Craig sat in. Unfortunately, some tourist-hating people covered it in plastic. But the toilet the cop that busted him sat on is still open and completely usable.

The best part is that later this year, the Republican National Convention is in Minneapolis/St. Paul. And all the delegates will have to walk by this bathroom on their way out. Irony is fun.
