Whether it be a bathroom stall or the hall of fame, when you’re a republican, it’s all good.

Embattled Craig honored at Idaho Hall of Fame

First appearance in state since lawmaker’s bathroom bust became public

BOISE, Idaho - Senator Larry Craig has been named to the Idaho Hall of Fame, marking his first ceremonial appearance in his home state since his bathroom bust became public in August.

The state’s senior GOP lawmaker received polite applause and a few encouraging hoots when he was introduced at the Boise convention center.

He told other nominees attending the dinner he hoped the attention brought to him did not not lessen the honor they received.

Craig was chosen for induction last spring well before his arrest.

Craig entered the Boise convention center through its front doors, accompanied by family members including his wife and mother. They walked through a crowd of about a dozen photographers, TV cameras and reporters.

In response to a question Craig said he’s “doing very well,” adding, “I’ve got my whole family with me.”
