Senator Wide Stance To Be Inducted Into Idaho Hall Of Fame
The incautious foot tapper was picked back in March, before his "other" claim to fame, and it looks like everybody's going to go through with this, however reluctantly.
Sen. Craig to Join 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.
But some Republicans said the honor is inappropriate now. Kootenai County Republican precinct committeeman Phil Thompson said Idaho Hall of Fame officials should consider at least postponing the induction.
"Maybe in 10 or 15 years we can think of this hall of fame stuff. Now is not the time," he said. "It's a sad day to be a Republican."

I hope this is just one of many sad days for Republicans. It's time for them to start paying for what they've done.
It's odd, maybe it was inevitable, that those hypocritical pricks seem to be getting exposed as the dripping slime they really are.
