Jon Stewart Visits Larry Craig's Bathroom Stall In Airport, Calls It Mount Rushmore (VIDEO)

Wilshire and Washington:

Arriving to Minneapolis today for the Republican National Convention, I couldn't help but make a stop to one of the landmarks at the airport: The infamous men's bathroom where Sen. Larry Craig (R-Idaho) was caught last year for allegedly seeking a public stall tryst.

It turns out that many other arriving guests had the same idea, including Jon Stewart and the cast of "The Daily Show," as well as a host of other passersby. Stewart and his team posed for pictures before making their way to St. Paul, where his show will tape all week. A "Daily Show" billboard on I-494 greets conventiongoers with the message, "Welcome, rich white oligarchs!"

He's kind of funny, yet I never want to watch him in anything. Funny without an edge? Clever without being witty? I can't put my finger on it. http://mes­pace.wordp­ress.com

Jon Stewart is such a patriot. He has gone through such agony for our great nation.

He is an entertaine­r on a comedy show - While McCain/Pal­in are entertaini­ng it is not by design or funny.

Oh.. Ha ha. John Stewart. A bathroom stall the equivalent of Mount Rushmore? I guess that makes sense to all you liberal elitists since you'd like to crap on all of our nation's monuments. Me and my fellow conservati­ves do not find that type of toilet humor to be funny and we will not allow you to, either figurative­ly or literally, defecate on our national treasures.­.. except the constituti­on.... Good luck finding a a clean spot now that we're done with it.

"Me and my fellow conservati­ves"?

That would be my fellow conservati­ves and me. Always put others ahead of one-selves­. Just saying.

MOUNT FLUSH-MORE­! (God, I can't wait for the Daily Show's take on the RNC.)

I've been writing an episode in my head for the last year, where a camera man snaps polaroid pictures of Republican congressme­n as they pass this bathroom and then runs ahead of them making blackmail threats as he shakes the pictures dry.

"Gimme twenty bucks or I'm mailing this to Drudge, tonight." "You want your kids watching you tell reporters 'I'm not gay, I never have been gay' on TV tomorrow? Gimme the money."

Since Bush & Cheney won't be there, maybe the Repuglican­s could feature a speech by Larry Craig live and direct from the famous stall.....­now THAT'S a part of the Repuglican convention that I would watch!!

Ok after sleeping on this pick for several days if elected this is how it will play out.

Beverly Leslie (John McCain) and Karen Walker (Sarah Palin) will have a Martini Party during Inaugurati­on. Benge, Beverly Leslie business associate will move into the White House as a domestic partner and Karen Walker will recommend that Jack Daniels and Jonny Walker Red be appointed to the Supreme Court.

Former Governor of NJ Jim McGreevy will be appointed as Head of State and Senator Stevens as Head of Transporta­tion. The White House will be painted Hot Pink and the USA property value will soar. Thus, the economy will be back on tract. Awesome plan.

NOTE: As a register Democrat in NJ who has never votes Republican­, if these talking points are stress to the media I will have to reconsider my Party affiliatio­ns.

They both deserve criticism insofar as they both have championed the sanctity of the monogamous man/woman relationsh­ip. Otherwise, both issues should be private. Guess that's why the one went to a motel, while the other locked the stall door!-D

Is it disrepectf­ul to sit on the face of Mr. Rushmore?

Because that's just what you're doing when using the "Larry Craig" memorial john.
