Slog - Comments on Larry Craig: Slog Reader Visits the Scene of the Crime http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/09/larry_craig_slog_reader_visits_the_scene Slog reader Zach writes... I found myself in the Minneapolis/Saint Paul International Aiport over the Labor Day weekend and couldn't resist searching out the famous gay bathroom in which Sen. Larry Craig tapped his closeted little foot into infamy. The internet said the cruisy men's room is located in the middle of Northstar Crossing, a shopping area just past the main security checkpoint as you're heading to your gate. It was real easy to find. As I stood there snapping photos with my camera phone an guy driving one of those little airport passenger cars slowed down to ask me...

It's a shame Zach didn't have the proper gels needed to remove the green from the florescent lights. I would simply love to have a proper photo.

I'm assuming nobody is cruising that restroom for sex anymore. It's probably the nearest restroom to gate C, now. Let's find out!!!

I say let's get out there and take all the 'homphobes were busted/exposed here' pics we can and send them all to Dan. all boys and girls taking pics should get themselves in the pics to claim their little bit of net immortality.

Christ, I've been through mpls airport many times (since I live here and all) and I guess I assumed the creepy Senator would've picked an out of the way place to make his signaling - - For more traffic and exposure to kids and the cops he could've only chosen the baggage claim bathroom as more conspicuous.

So, he's creepy, a liar, AND retarded.

It made sense when I thought he meant he was standing up and peeing, but sitting down???? If you spread your feet apart, wouldn't your pants bunch up around your knees? This is assuming you've dropped trou, of course. I don't get it!

Why that would be considered desirable, is beyond me, however.
