Doug Clark : Answering these questions as easy as tapping three times

Doug Clark The Spokesman-Review

The Larry Craig soap opera gets more convoluted with each passing day.

On Wednesday, for example, the drama moved into a Minneapolis courtroom where …

Wait. Why should I waste any of my precious space regurgitating details about the Idaho senator who was busted in June in an airport men’s room sex-solicitation sting?

Leave that mundane stuff to reporters.

As a columnist, I am not here to regurgitate. I am here to instigate and irritate.

And so I have created the Larry Craig Airport Commode Quiz for your enlightenment.

You will need (do I even need to say it?) a No. 2 pencil.

Please circle your answers. Then mail your finished quiz to Sen. Lusty Craig – 520 Hart Senate Office Building, Washington, DC 20510-1203 – where each test will be enthusiastically shredded by one of the senator’s sniveling staff members.

Happy testing.
