Lost a Watch in Men's Room? Call Larry Craig's Office

Staffers on Capitol Hill are howling over an e-mail sent from Sen. Larry Craig's office Friday about a watch found -- guess where -- in the men's room!

The e-mail, which is being forwarded pretty much all over the place on Capitol Hill, is from Pat Olsen, the embattled Idaho Republican's administrative director.

The e-mail announced that a watch was found in the men's room on the fifth floor of the Hart Senate Office Building, where Craig's office is located. On its face, the message suggests that a male staffer (possibly even Sen. Craig, the notorious men's room foot tapper) found the watch.

Olsen confirmed to The Sleuth that she authored the message. Without divulging her e-mail address, here is the text:

From: [Pat Olsen]
Sent: Friday, November 02, 2007 4:03 PM
To: ADMGR@
Subject: Watch found in the men's room

Watch found in the men's room on the 5th floor in the NW Corner of the Hart Building. It is not working, but if someone from your office lost it, please let me know.

Pat Olsen
Administrative Director
Senator Larry E. Craig

We redacted Olsen's phone number to save her a lot of grief.
