At the time it was considered, this other matter had not come up,” Harry Magnuson told The Spokesman-Review newspaper Saturday. There’s probably some jokes that could be made about this. ---

There are times when no snide comment seems adequate. ---

Ya have to admit, my senator IS pretty famous. I think he oughta get top billing. There’s even movement afoot to rename one of our fair towns in his name. Formerly Athol, to be renamed Larry’s “Glory Hole”. ---

I think Craig’s apparent hypocracy is an issue for his constituants to deal with. I find the reaction of the republican party far more telling. His refusal to leave quietly is going to force the predjudice to be publicly displayed. ---

I must say my move to Idaho has been interesting. First I arrive and we have a huge wildfire, and then this! Interesting place, Idaho. ---

Or do you mean that the Republicans are going to have to admit that Craig’s been using them to support his fetish of hot, dirty sex with random strangers in airport bathrooms? Because I think that it’s been pretty obvious for a long time that the official party stance has been that “Gays ain’t okay!” ---

I wonder if there’s any good cruising to be had in the Idaho Hall of Fame bathrooms. ---

Does the Idaho Hall of Fame have exhibits? Since they’re remodeling the famous Minn. men’s room, a certain stall needs a new home. ---

Without looking at the link, I’m trying to figure out what would be in the Idaho Hall of Fame besides Senator Craig and a potato. ---
