Just hours after the embattled Senator Craig held his tearful press conference to announce his resignation on the heels of charges that he solicited a sexual encounter with an undercover officer, the undercover officer, himself, is now at the center of his own legal maelstrom. In addition to the nature of the arrest, the officer gained notoriety for glibly chastising the Senator during his interrogation, saying, "I'm just disappointed in you, sir. I mean, people vote for you." Surprisingly, at the center of this controversy is a seemingly off-handed and innocuous comment made by the officer during an internal hearing on the matter.
In an internal memo obtained exclusively by ...Diet Soap, the officer is quoted as saying, "Nothing like this has ever happened to me before." But in a stunning turn of events, the Department's spokesperson, Harold Darling, issued the following statement shortly after Sentator Craig's own press conference: "After a lengthy investigation by the the Internal Review Committee, we now suspect the arresting officer of committing perjury while under oath. After a thorough review of internal files, we now have good reason to believe that Senator Craig may, in fact, be the fourth or possibly fifth Senator with whom the officer has been disappointed."
While the officer's camp is being tight-lipped, sources close to the investigation suspect the officer of being disappointed in Republican Senator Thad Cochran of Mississippi for his unmitigated and inexplicable support of pharmacists.
