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.

Idaho has been under the red heel for years and Larry Craig is
representative of Idaho's lockstep politics. How far they've degraded since
the days of Senator Frank Church.

It took just eight decades but H.L. Mencken's astute prediction on the
future course of American presidential politics and the electorate's taste
in candidates came true:
On July 26, 1920, the acerbic and cranky scribe wrote in The Baltimore Sun:
" . . . all the odds are on the man who is, intrinsically, the most devious
and mediocre - the man who can most easily (and) adeptly disperse the notion
that his mind is a virtual vacuum. The presidency tends, year by year, to go
to such men. As democracy is perfected, the office represents, more closely,
the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great
and glorious day, the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's
desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron."

Any truth to the rumor that the state GOP wants to change the state's
motto to "Land of wide stances"?
