Larry Craig and the Hall of Fame

Sen. Larry Craig, R-Idaho, was selected for induction into Idaho's Hall of Fame in March, the Idaho Hall of Fame Association board chairman says. As it stands now, the induction ceremony is still slated to include Craig next weekend.

The selection was made a few months before Craig's infamous arrest in the bathroom sting operation at the Minneapolis airport.

Kootenai County Republican precinct committeeman Phil Thompson thinks the honor should be delayed "10 or 15 years" to allow matters to be resolved. As it is, however, Craig is still scheduled to be inducted next Saturday alongisde one of his top supporters, Gov. Butch Otter.

So is the commerorative statue a toilet or a tapping foot... kind of an "interactive" display for posterity?

Thanks for the post, Thomas.

I don't know what sort of statue is presented at Idaho Hall of Fame inductions. I rather doubt it is that specific!
