Former Senator Larry Craig (R-ID), seen here
looking a bit like Florida Gov. Rick Scott.
Hey, it's been a while since we've had some Larry Craig news. Would you like some Larry Craig news? Of course you would! It's been a while since the disgraced ex-senator was heard from, which means he's about ready for some good ol' fashioned redemption, seeing the error of his ways, and all that other political hooey. What's that? Hold off on buying the triple-layered "welcome back"
redemption cake?
Federal campaign regulators brought the hammer down on disgraced former Sen. Larry Craig on Monday, accusing him of misusing hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign cash to pay for his legal defense following an arrest in a Minneapolis airport bathroom sex sting.
The Federal Election Commission filed a federal lawsuit against Craig, who now works as a lobbyist in Washington, D.C., asking a judge to order the former lawmaker to pay back his campaign committee more than $200,000 and stop him from raiding the committee for his own personal use.
Well, that's a bit of a downer. Really though, when you've previously been arrested for soliciting anonymous airport bathroom sex, it's not like you can fall much further. Merely misusing campaign funds is practically a non-story after that one. Oh, and he's a lobbyist now, thus completing the usual disgraced politician trifecta.
