2007: U.S. Sen. Larry Craig (R-Idaho) is arrested after allegedly soliciting an undercover male officer for sex at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. He entered a guilty plea to a charge of disorderly conduct, but then attempted unsuccessfully to withdraw his plea. Craig, who had a staunch anti-gay voting record, denied that he was gay at a subsequent press conference. After initially announcing plans to step down, Craig later reneged and served out the remainder of his Senate term.
