David Phillips, who claims that he had oral and anal sex with Senator Larry Craig 20 years ago in Craig's Capitol Hill home, is now being targeted by the State of Virginia.

Phillips has now been told by the state of Virginia that he must return his vanity license plate, "Poofter," that he has had for over 11 years. According to the Post, Phillips received a letter that stated:

"You may have grown fond of your personalized plates," but they are "socially, racially or ethnically offensive or disparaging" and "you must return them."

The Virginia DMV does not go back and reconsider plates that have been on the road for years. "We definitely rely on residents to report any inappropriate message," says DMV spokesman Melanie Stokes, who, citing privacy rules, won't comment on how Phillips's tags came in for reinspection.
