| Senator | State | 110th, 1st session Score |
| Larry Craig (REP) | ID | 13% |
| Mike Crapo (REP) | ID | 13% |
| Representative | District | 110th, 1st session Score |
| William Sali (REP) | ID-1 | 0% |
| Mike Simpson (REP) | ID-2 | 5% |

I will withhold judgment that they have turned a new leaf until they come out in favor of breaching the 4 salmon-killing lower Snake river dams.
They might turn over anything if there is a likely place to dig or drill or graze or shelter an endangered species. I know that sounds like a pretty wide stance, but I’ve always been given to making impolitic statements about those I consider to be scoundrels, and as long as the lovely towns and villages of Idaho persist in the stratagem of sending them to the legislature to get them safely away, it’s irresistible. As the late Molly Ivins would write, on the eve of it, “The legislature opens a new session in Austin tomorrow, depriving many a Texas village of its idiot.”
