Sen. Larry Craig doesn't get it, because he hasn't resigned yet, but he is a mother's walking nightmare, as Susan Estrich writes:

You want to have sex with another man, go right ahead. But don't do it in a restroom at the airport, full of kids traveling alone or with their mothers. Unaccompanied minors have a right not to worry when they have to go to the bathroom.

I'm glad the airport police were in there looking for disgusting old men who are so ashamed of their sexuality that they resort to doing it in bathroom stalls.

I don't care what your orientation is — a public restroom is no place for sex, particularly when it's a public restroom in a public place that's full of children.

I'm one of those mothers who stand outside the men's room at the airport waiting for their sons, one eye on my watch and the other on every man who walks in. When my son was a little boy, I brought him into the ladies room.

But as every mother will tell you, once they get past a certain age, they won't come. Family bathrooms help for a while, but they aren't that common. And once they get a little older, every boy tells his mother he's fine and can go on his own.

It would seem me that a minimal qualification for being a United States senator would be that mothers need not worry that you might be one of those lurking in a public bathroom cruising for sex.

Sen. Craig should have been long gone by now. Perhaps he will do us a favor and resign before the weekend hits.
