Craig Ends Legal
Fight Over Bathroom Incident

Former Idaho senator Larry Craig, busted for cruising for sex in a men's bathroom at the Minneapolis-St. Paul airport in 2007, has ended his legal fight over the matter. An attorney for the Republican announced today that Craig will not appeal to the Minnesota Supreme Court to void his conviction for disorderly conduct, the Associated Press reports.

Though he pleaded guilty and paid a fine for the incident, Craig has sought to have his record cleared, most recently at a state appeals court, which declined to rule in his favor. Thursday was the last day the senator could petition the state supreme court to hear his case, but his attorney, Tom Kelly, told the AP that the court was unlikely to do so, and therefore, Craig will not push on. That means the senator has exhausted his legal options.

Craig, who's consistently denied that he's gay, did not run for reelection last year. (Advocate.com)
