Idaho Sen. Larry Craig, in his first interview since news surfaced of his arrest and guilty plea in a bathroom sex-solicitation sting, said on TV tonight that he’s laughed at some of the jokes at his expense on late-night shows like Jay Leno’s “Tonight Show.” KTVB, the Boise NBC affiliate that’s airing an interview of Craig with reporter Mark Johnson prior to another Craig interview with NBC News reporter Matt Lauer, showed video of a Leno shtick that showed the Tonight Show’s men’s room, with Leno checking to see whether any toe-tapping was going on. In adjacent booths, the occupants began tapping and then went into a “Riverdance” type tap-dance extravaganza. But Suzanne Craig noted that the couple has watched lots of the Food network in the past month and didn’t watch lots of the jests at Craig.
