But you've been a nasty naughty boy, Lavatory Larry...

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Lawyers for Sen. Larry Craig asked the Senate ethics committee Wednesday to reject a complaint based on the Idaho Republican's guilty plea in a police undercover operation in an airport men's room, saying the events were "wholly unrelated" to official duties.

"Assertion of jurisdiction over this matter by the committee would be literally unprecedented and would create deleterious consequences for the Senate as a whole," the lawyers wrote.

The letter was hand-delivered to the ethics committee hours after Craig served notice that he was reconsidering his weekend pledge to resign his seat.

Wasn't Clinton's dalliance with Monica "wholly unrelated" to official duties, too?

Update: JJ of Unrepentant Old Hippie has the timeline and an hilarious video.

Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Ben Stein's monotone voice drives me bonkers, but his claiming Larry Craig was entrapped is hilarious.

PZ Myers of Pharyngula:
He's defending Larry Craig. It's promisingly incoherent, and here are his arguments, more or less in the order babbled.
Apparently the police should be looking for al-Qaeda, not misbehavior in public bathrooms.
