Senate panel stumbles over obvious, notices it.
The obvious being the well documented behavior of Sen. Larry Craig, R-Mens Loo, at the time of his arrest this summer.
The Senate Ethics Committee issued a "letter of admonition" to Sen. Larry Craig on Wednesday in connection with his arrest in a Minneapolis airport sex sting last year."could be seen". That is putting it nicely. Then again, it could be seen as a Republican plan to share the wealth. Say, are those pigs warming up on the runway?
In the letter, the committee accused the Idaho Republican of improper conduct in the June arrest. His actions reflected "discreditably" on the chamber, the letter said.
The committee also criticized Craig for using more than $200,000 in campaign funds to pay legal fees related to his case and for flashing his Senate business card at the officer who arrested him. The letter said that move could be seen as an improper attempt to receive "special and favorable treatment."
