Curse you, Chili's restaurant!

Imagine you're in an airport bathroom stall, tending to business.

There's a particular song that just won't get out of your head, so you're tapping your right foot to the beat. You're so into it, you don't notice when your foot moves up against the foot of the guy in the stall next to you. In fact, getting into the groove, you begin to swing your left arm to the beat and your hand swipes under the stall divider several times. Moments later a cop advises you that you're under arrest for lewd behavior.

Assuming that your actions were all completely innocent, do you:

1. Raise a holy stink, denying any lewd conduct, explain your behavior, get a lawyer and defend against the charge; or
2. Say, "Hey, look over there!" and use the resulting confusion to escape the bathroom and fly to another country; or
3. Plead guilty to lewd conduct in a public place (a misdemeanor).

If you're Senator Larry Craig of Idaho, apparently option "3" is your choice. One that you now regret.

"At the time of this incident, I complained to the police that they were misconstruing my actions. I was not involved in any inappropriate conduct," he said. "I should have had the advice of counsel in resolving this matter. In hindsight, I should not have pled guilty. I was trying to handle this matter myself quickly and expeditiously."

In "hindsight" you shouldn't have pled guilty? Ya think?

It actually sounds rather silly that he would be arrested for what he did, and it's hard to imagine that he would have been successfully prosecuted since no sexual contact or verbal invitation ever took place. But pleading guilty is pretty strong evidence that he was indeed soliciting for sex.

But that's okay, because at least he's not a giant hypocrite or anything.

"In recent years, Craig's voting record has earned him top ratings from social conservative groups such as the American Family Association, Concerned Women for America and the Family Research Council.

He has supported a federal constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage, telling his colleagues that it was "important for us to stand up now and protect traditional marriage, which is under attack by a few unelected judges and litigious activists."

Oops.
