It’s good to know that the Idaho Republican Party is comfortable enough in their own dominance that they don’t have to worry about the optics of hiring former U.S. Senator Larry Craig to be the financial chair of its executive committee. Craig is not well-known for anything he accomplished while in Congress because he was a totally ineffective backbencher who had no charisma and no ability to help his party in any way beyond his lockstep allegiance to the conservative cause.
What Craig is famous for is having sex with strangers in a Minneapolis airport men’s room. He also claimed to use the widest shitting stance in the Northern Hemisphere, which was somehow supposed to be a defense against charges of soliciting stall-sex during his flight layovers.
And, of course, he then inappropriately used his own campaign funds to wage a defense that really amounted to little more than a failed “don’t you know who I am?” gambit.
The FEC made him pony up almost a quarter million bucks to atone for that bullshit.
But that doesn’t mean that he’s not the exact right man for Idaho’s party of family values when it comes to raising oodles of cash to beat those menacing Democrats who are always threatening to break 18% of the vote in potato-statewide elections. Surely, none of the money Craig raises for the party will go to break any more FEC laws.
Because, ETHICS!!!
