"Sen Craig was known to pick up trash around the Capital Yacht Club" (his D.C. home)
Edited on Fri Oct-05-07 10:59 AM by zonkers
"Amid the ruckus that followed the arrest of Senator Larry Craig for allegedly soliciting sex from a plainclothes officer in an airport rest room, little attention was paid to his unusual Washington, D.C., address: 1000 Water Street. There, across the Washington Channel from the Jefferson Memorial, is the Capital Yacht Club, where Craig lives on a forty-two-foot Bertram yacht called the Suz II, named for his wife, Suzanne, who stays back home in Idaho. Craig, a fastidious man who was known to pick up trash around the club, is well liked by his fellow-yachtsmen. (Explaining his behavior in the airport stall, he told the police that he had bent down to pick up a piece of paper.) “He is a creature of habit,” a club member said recently. In the weeks during which Craig pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct and then started trying to withdraw the plea, the Suz II floated empty in its slip at D Dock...."

To read about the curse of Capital Yacht Club's D-dock, also the D.C. residence of Sen. Stevens and Duke Cunningham....

3. When the headline said that Larry Craig "picked up trash", I guess I was
expecting something of the human type.
