Larry Craig, Hall of Famer

[MrCoffee]

Oct. 12, 2007 - His GOP colleagues in the U.S. Senate may wish him gone. But Larry Craig will always have a home in the Idaho Hall of Fame. This Saturday in Boise, Craig will join 11 other distinguished citizens of the Gem State in what promises to be a squirm-worthy induction ceremony. Since its creation in 1995, the Hall of Fame, a nonprofit organization, has been honoring the state’s leaders and historical figures—including World War II flying ace Gregory (Pappy) Boyington, actress Lana Turner and Sacagawea, the American Indian woman who helped guide the Lewis and Clark expedition. Organizers bristle at the suggestion that Craig should be disinvited following the uproar over his guilty plea for disorderly conduct in a restroom sex sting, and his refusal to resign from the Senate as he’d initially discussed—even after a Minneapolis judge last week rejected his motion to withdraw the guilty plea. “He was nominated well before this happened,” says Hall of Fame president Charles Indermuehle. “We will have our dinner, and we’re looking forward to it.”

1. I find a certain irony that this award happens on the same day as Al Gore's

Shows the clear difference between democrats and republicans.

Nonetheless congrats to Mr. Craig on his award

2. Here, here

I think the US Senate should take a break from its busy schedule and commend lair for his well deserved award. In fact a written proclamation would be in order. No doubt mcconnell is working on it right now.
