My question of the day is who the hell broke into Dodd’s office and why!

Indeed this is the most interesting unexplored question of the day. IIRC there was a break in several weeks ago at a Dem Representative’s headquarters, but I forget the details… Does anyone remember that one?

Apparently it was a short, bare-chested Hispanic male…Abu on a amnesiac rampage?

There’s even video of Larry “Wide Stance” Craig’s adament denials then!

Over at TPM, the commenters are confused: “How could the cop presume that foot-tapping was a signal for sex??” “I guess I’ll be more careful not to tap my foot in the bathroom stall!!” “The cop moved too fast, it was ambiguous. That’s why it’s only a misdemeanor.”

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Need to get out more, fellahs — or maybe not.

Isn’t it funny how known-knowns in one culture are completely unknown-unknowns in another? Especially when the two cultures live right next to one another.

Oh well.

I was in that bathroom in the MSP airport seventeen years ago. It was cruisy then, and I bet it’s still cruisy.

The cop didn’t bust him simply for his “foot-tap”…he also mentioned that “Wide Stance” Craig played footsie with him, and reached down below the stall and made the “gesture”, looked through the cracks in the door, etc. Apparently he was uninterested in actually USING the bathroom for its intended purpose. While no “act” was committed he did confess to “lewd conduct”.

It’s hard to think that Craig didn’t think that he could have fought this if it was a “false charge”…instead he decided that it was likely easier to have it covered up. Fighting it in court would have definitely made the media. I wonder if phone calls were made to Gov. Pawlenty to suppress the report. That might explain why the sordid tale didn’t hit the news for almost two months.

I think that’s the second motorcycle cop to die escorting the president. wonder if they get hazard pay?

Apparently Bu$h just drove on by the wreck, never even stopped to acknowledge that someone(in his own entourage) might be hurt, let alone dead.

Should we perhaps move on to another BlueCandidate?

NBC Nightly News sure minimized it. Misunderstanding blah blah blah. Never mentioned his party affiliation either

No-brain Katie on CBS was similarly minimal: all of it “alleged” blah, blah, blah.

Man meets undercover man, man falls in love, man offers to requite that love with undercover man, man learns he’s made a huge mistake, man shows undercover man his senate business card.

We’ve all heard it a million times.

Hi PeterK.

I am doing well but had a frustrating day at work. I love my job, but my back hurts after waking up so early and dealing with fools all day.

Came home though to find that my 8th grade son was in all of the wrong classes at school today, but went to the counselors on his own after school and got it all fixed.

Betsy,
Have you had a workplace accommodations specialist come to look at your chair and desk setup, in light of your back problems? It might be that s/he can recommend a setup that will be better for your back. Such specialists really do exist, although they usually spend their time dealing with computer jockeys who have carpal tunnel syndrome.

Good luck!
