How is this news!?!?

A story caught my eye today, and I wanted to find out a bit more about it...
Well, after reading a bit, I began to wonder... how is this really news? And why in the hell are they going to ask him to resign for what seems to be nothing. What is going on here? A quote that made me laugh and has me really questioning, why in the hell would he resign for this: "Craig told reporters Tuesday he did not take part in "inappropriate conduct" and said he had "overreacted and made a poor decision" in pleading guilty. No sexual contact is alleged to have taken place, although the officer who arrested the senator said Craig moved his foot to touch the officer's foot while they sat in adjoining restroom stalls." <- How is this something that you can be arrested for? I don't get it. Oops, I'm sorry, I accidentally touched your foot with mine automatically leads to lets have sex in a public restroom? It makes me think back when I was younger, hanging out with my friends. We were joking around with their mother about where babies came from. (And yes, we already were well aware, because we were in college.) We stated that babies happen when two people rub feet without socks on. So I guess in Senator Craig's case, he would not have been impregnated, but he certainly was violating the personal baby making space of the police officer in the stall next to him. Of course, I could be wrong, and this could indeed be a huge deal in the long run, but seriously, let's not report on stuff like this until we actually have news to report. Thanks CNN!
