AP:

When tourists ask for the bathroom in the Minneapolis airport lately, it's usually not because they have to go.

It's because they want to see the stall made famous by U.S. Sen. Larry Craig's arrest in a sex sting.

But isn't this story about how people are flocking to see it? And aren't people stupid?

I have to go against the current here and commend restroom tourists for their inquisitiveness and "show me" attitude. One cannot trust the media. The only way to learn the truth is to see for oneself. A good example is we don't know if the photo accompanying this article depicts the restroom in question. You'd think the media would trouble themselves to get an authentic photo (as the tourists are doing), but the restroom in the picture looks too old to be part of a modern airport.

For those of us who are scientific­ally-minde­d, this is indeed problematic since the question of whether Sen. Craig intended public sex acts hinges on the physical attributes of the stall. For example, if the stall dividers were as low as in the photo, the theory advanced by some that Sen. Craig hoped Sgt. Karsnia would present his genitals under the divider can be ruled out.

They could rent the can out for Republic Party orgies. Foley, Craig, Rove, Bush, Graham, McConnell and all of the rest could have a Grand Ol' Party there! The next night, they could have the kinky party, the one for the Senator who dresses up in diapers with hookers, and the federal prosecutor who likes 5-year-old girls. Republic Party values!

Those bathrooms look like something out of Yougosalvia in the sixties nor what you would expect in a modern American city.

They need to redo their plumbing!

Have we truly reached the point that we are ready to make a bathroom into a shrine? I feel like I woke up in an alternate universe where things look the same, but act the opposite! Let's return to sanity, and use the bathroom for its intended purpose!

What was Craig doing in that stall that didn't necessitate his flushing the commode when he exited it?

This detail, noted by the detective, seems to have been overlooked in most blog postings.

Has it been declared a National Park yet ? My Golden Eagle Pass is still valid. Land of the free, home of the gay.

Whenever I go into a public bathroom stall I make sure to pick up all the toilet paper on the floor with my bare hands... before I take shit. Then I make sure to throw some more on the floor before I leave.

It's just something seasoned travellers do.

I don't know why I do it though. It just seems like a cool thing to do.

Unbelievable. Our military of the past and present sacrificed their lives so some idiots will have the freedom to treat a bathroom stall as a tourist site.

GenericBlogger--I hope future military personnel don't throw their lives away over such trivia.

Fortunately their sacrifices were not in vain.

I believe more people should be mindful of the freedoms we have and how they were provided. The same goes for our political leaders who send our military in harm's way.

**FIRST OF ALL** Does Craig have an office in Minnesota? I suggest he close it (save the taxpayers money) and put up a sign on the bathroom door at the MN airport. His constituents clearly now know where to find him.

**SECOND** They're going to have to start stocking postcards of Craig's "throne" in the airport shops - otherwise they might have crowd control problems in the loo. -- I suspect there is a legal limit on the number of people you can legally have in the bathroom. Some people might even want to do their "business" in there and crowds will interfere with that. (Don't ask me to define "business" - but the definition of "business in the bathroom" is recently expanded}

**THIRD** - they're going to have to start selling t-shirts - "I went to the Minneapolis airport for a blow-job and all I got was this lousy t-shirt" ~~
