From the "Things I learned today" file:

Illinois Republican Senator Larry Craig taught me never to tap my foot while in a men's room stall at an airport. Why? Because, well, somebody like Illinois Senator Larry Craig might be in the next stall.

I don't really need to worry about this, as my feet don't even touch the ground while perched atop the 4-foot stack of toilet paper piled on the seat, but this is good information to have nonetheless. You can learn a lot from a politician.

Just last year, a blog "outed" Craig, which he denied. Technically though, if you're in a stall, you're not "out" — this nuance will I'm sure be included in the Senator's press release in the morning.
