Larry Craig gets spanked by the Ethics Committee -- but not that hard

AP:

The Senate Ethics Committee said Wednesday that Idaho Sen. Larry Craig acted improperly in connection with a men's room sex sting last year.

In a letter to the Republican senator, the ethics panel said Craig's attempt to withdraw his guilty plea after his June arrest at a Minneapolis airport was an effort to evade legal consequences of his own actions.

Craig's actions brought discredit on the Senate, the letter said.

The six members of committee — three Democrats and three Republicans — told Craig they believed he "committed the offense to which you pled guilty" and that "you entered you plea knowingly voluntarily and intelligently."
