Of course, reading any report you’ll instantly know to which party he belongs. Why? Because the media will mention it as early as possible. H/t Allah.

Sen. Larry Craig (R-Idaho) was arrested in June at a Minnesota airport by a plainclothes police officer investigating lewd conduct complaints in a men’s public restroom, according to an arrest report obtained by Roll Call Monday afternoon.

Craig’s arrest occurred just after noon on June 11 at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. On Aug. 8, he pleaded guilty to misdemeanor disorderly conduct in the Hennepin County District Court. He paid more than $500 in fines and fees, and a 10-day jail sentence was stayed. He also was given one year of probation with the court that began on Aug. 8.

A spokesman for Craig described the incident as a “he said/he said misunderstanding,” and said the office would release a fuller statement later Monday afternoon.

Craptastic.

Don’t believe what I’m saying about the media? KIFA, first paragraph:

We are getting reports of Idaho Republican Senator Larry Craig was arrested and plead guilty for an incident that happened at a Minnesota airport.

KTVB mentions under header image.

Salon.com, first paragraph.

Sen. Larry Craig, the senior Republican from Idaho, pleaded guilty this month to charges of misdemeanor disorderly conduct after a police officer witnessed him engaging in lewd behavior in an airport restroom, reports Roll Call, a Capitol Hill newspaper.

And the story is so new, it isn’t on CNN.com yet.

I don’t excuse Craig’s behavior, but the opportunity must be taken to show the blatant double-standard in news coverage.
