If Marcel Duchamp could turn a urinal into an artwork, why can't an endless stream of Lookie Lous turn the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport's men's room where Sen. Larry Craig (R-Idaho) struck his infamously wide stance into a Kodak moment?
From the AP:
"It's by the Lottery shop, right next to the shoeshine shop," said newsstand worker Abdalla Said, adding he gets the question daily.
The Royal Zino Shoeshine shop owner's grandson, Royal Zino, said it has been hectic.
"People have been going inside, taking pictures of the stall, taking pictures outside the bathroom door - man, it's been crazy," he said.
On their way to Guatemala, Jon and Sally Westby of Minneapolis made a visit.
"We had to just stop and check out the bathroom," Sally said. "In fact, it's Jon's second time - he was here last week already."

"Sally" went in the men's room? I wonder if the bathroom police also arrest people that go in the restroom for the opposite sex?

Hee hee. Happens to me almost every night.

Didn't they end up charging Craig with invasion of privacy or something? Shouldn't someone be arresting all of these renegade cameramen?

I just learned something new about the bathroom hook-up scene that I think is important to share. It concerns the significance of the shopping bag he placed on the floor. In my total ignorance I did not realize the bag is for the other guy to stand in so others do not see two sets of feet when they look under the stall. I learned this....on the radio. No, really. Honest. I'm not a toe tapper...not that there's anything wrong with that.

IMHO, you couldn't make up something that weird, at least I couldn't.

The charge he admitted to was Disorderly Conduct.
