Craig in Hall of Fame

Sen. Larry Craig chosen for Idaho Hall of Fame

BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Sen. Larry Craig has been chosen for induction into the Idaho Hall of Fame, despite his well-publicized arrest and guilty plea in an airport sex sting, officials said.

The nonprofit Idaho Hall of Fame Association picked Craig in March, months before he pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct after a Minneapolis airport police officer accused him of soliciting sex in the men’s restroom, the organization’s board chairman said.

“Larry Craig has made a great contribution to Idaho over the period of 20-some years. At the time it was considered, this other matter had not come up,” Harry Magnuson told The Spokesman-Review newspaper Saturday.

It appears that the GOP has known about Mr. Craig’s “problem” for a number of years. It seems somebody could have said something.

“It’s a sad day to be a Republican.”

Every day is a sad day to be a Republican.

    He has made good contributions. By the way, linking to a KOS story, to somehow prove that Craig had a “problem” is like asking the easter bunny if candy is bad for you.

    Name some. By the way, you righties really hate Kos, don’t you? The truth hurts. Perhaps I should have linked to “screwliberals.com”. Yeh, that’s the ticket.
