Caption this: Tom Harkin bothered about bugs...

A bugged meeting has turned a sedate Iowa Senate race into a bitter one, with incumbent Democrat Tom Harkin -- scandal-free for 28 years in Congress -- accused of scripting a dirty campaign trick and then lying about it. The three-term veteran with more Senate service than any Iowa Democrat in history still holds a substantial lead over Republican Rep. Greg Ganske in a race Democrats need to win to keep their one-vote Senate majority. Harkin is seen acting as a sign language interpreter during the last day of the Democratic National Convention, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, in this August 17, 2000 file photo.

Not quite. Lying about his service during the Vietnam War and getting caught doing it should have been more than enough reason for Iowans not to send that weasel to Washington. Read about his lie in "Stolen Valor".

Actually, I think it's the sign for "support", but I'm not sure.

Harkin fights back the urge to say "I am not a crook." :)
