From Dirk Kempthorne to Lewd Larry Craig to moronic Bill Sali, it is clear that any Idaho Republican who makes it to national prominence in recent years has some kind of hatred for nature. What does that say about the people who elect them?
AND the sun seems to be shining a little brighter in Idaho since today’s late afternoon news on Larry Craig broke in Roll Call. I understand that the Statesman has had documents for years that showed Craig involved in a Gay Page scandal or other past indiscretions. Bet there will be a lot of toasts to the Minnesota Men’s Restroom Sting operation tonight all across Idaho – and the West.
kt, we in the east are emptying our glasses too! Out with the earth rapists!
