Larry Craig Sets the American Standard

|

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."
