[qb] The difference, of course, is that John Edwards is not gay,
I once got disorderly in an aiport bathroom...
I'm not going to pretend that I have a job of any importance. But it must really suck to earn a Master's Degree, and then have your job requirements be to entrap gay guys in toilet stalls and be in charge of cart enforcement at the airport.
MINNEAPOLIS, Minnesota (AP) – Sgt. Dave Karsnia shielded the men he arrested in the airport bathroom from embarrassment.
Embattled Sen. Larry Craig denies wrongdoing but is under increasing pressure to resign.
After he flashed a badge, he would point silently to the exit.
When one man said his wife was waiting at a gate, Karsnia called for a citation book to spare the man a trip to the airport police station.
And when his bathroom stings netted a U.S. senator from Idaho, he even promised him, "I don't call media."
That promise – which Karsnia seems to have kept – didn't do Sen. Larry Craig much good. Watch how the arrest could end Craig's political career »
Craig's arrest was surely the biggest of Karsnia's career, but it was only one of more than a dozen he made in the Minneapolis airport's restrooms this summer.
Just 29, his record has been that of a rising young officer. He joined the Minneapolis Airport Police in 2000 as a community services officer, just out of college. Three years later, he was named the department's Officer of the Year, and in 2005 he was promoted to sergeant. Last year, he finished his master's degree.
The last time Karsnia was in the media spotlight, it was because of his efforts to get speeding electric carts carrying passengers and luggage at the airport to slow down. The issue came to light last year when a young boy was run over and dragged by a cart and suffered a second-degree carpet burn.
Karsnia was in charge of cart enforcement at the time. That got him on ABC's "Good Morning America" earlier this year.

dan savage on the sen. craig situation: "part of the thrill of public sex is the delicious danger, the exquisite risk, the trouble you know you'll get into if you're caught. So it's hard to have much sympathy when someone who is aroused by the risk of discovery is discovered." Savage Love (see second letter - yes, he's being sarcastic about not being gay).
Thanks for clarifying that Dan was being sarcastic. Never would have figured that out on my own.
every think that not everything is about you, rhett?
being the suburban sex-fiend that you are, i'm sure you're on a first name basis with dan savage and probably copy-edit his work, but i was going with assumption that not everyone is. obviously, i forgot to assume that you'd lack the ability to do the same. my bad! :)

Nah, I just don't think my fellow boardies are as stupid as you take them to be, and don't need obvious things (seems like obvious sarcasm to me, even if you're not a Savage regular) explained to them, as you have a habit of doing. :)
