Nick Langewis and David Edwards A NYPD detective enters a department store bathroom. He sits down in a stall, to be quickly greeted by the tapping foot of the man next door. He taps back, and his suitor reaches a hand under the partition. The detective hands his subject his business card. If it sounds familiar, it's precisely how Senator Larry Craig (R-ID) was cited in the summer of 2007 under suspicion of soliciting gay sex in a Minneapolis airport restroom. NBC's Law & Order builds a storyline based on a closeted Assemblyman with an anti-gay voting record, a secret penchant for the company of men, and at least one credit card receipt for a gift basket sent to a man that has turned up dead. The following clip is from NBC's Law & Order, broadcast January 30, 2008.
