Judge Skeptical Of Former Sen. Larry Craig's Campaign Cash Spending

[Purveyor]

WASHINGTON — A federal judge sounded skeptical of former Sen. Larry Craig's claim that he properly used $217,000 in campaign funds for his legal defense after his arrest in a 2007 airport bathroom sex sting.

Craig argues that the airport bathroom trip fell under his official, reimbursable duties as senator because he was traveling between Idaho and Washington for work. But at a hearing Monday, U.S. District Court Judge Amy Berman Jackson said that such a broad reading of official travel could be taken to extremes.

The Federal Election Commission sued Craig last year, arguing his legal problems had nothing to do with campaigning for federal office.

2. That's why we call him

"Senator Wide-stance" He has a history on that...

And he's way creepy, if you've ever had to deal with him in an official capacity. He knows me on sight and has a special hatred and hairy-eyeball look reserved for when he encounters me. We've had it out in public when he was in office. I asked him how he justified his income and told him that as a taxpayer, I found him absolutely worthless. He, Dink Kempthorne, and Mr. Crapo all hate me and I'm kind of proud of that.
