Sen. Larry Craig has been chosen for induction into the Idaho Hall of Fame, despite his well-publicized arrest and guilty plea in an airport sex sting, officials said.

For using the state’s name as the admission of guilt (I-da-ho’).
I guess we better stop cracking on the dems for re-electing their good-for-nothing drunks, druggies and bridge runner-offers ... when here Idaho is inducting this shame of a man to a hall of fame. I am embarassed for him, since he doesn’t have the good sense to be embarassed for himself.
My waist is 38, and I know there's no way my "stance" could be at wide as the Sinator claims his is!
Well, he’s famous. Is it a Hall of Morals, or a Hall of Fame?
It seems a job requirement.
He’s da ho in Idaho.
Craig ws voted in before the restroom incident.
Seriously? I hadn't heard of this!
Can he be voted out?
Never mind - found the thread. Very interesting!
Sorry — I should have included at least one of the many Google Links to “Mike Jones and Craig” -— covering the male prostitute that dragged Ted Haggard out of the Closet — and his claim to having Senator Craig as a “client”....

Craig to Stay in US Senate
Senator Larry Craig (R-Idaho) vowed he will serve out his term in office despite losing a court attempt to rescind his guilty plea in a men’s room sex sting. Craig said a letter from Representative Barney Frank (D-Mass.) convinced him disavow his earlier promise to resign.
“Getting such warm encouragement from a fellow member of congress made me realize that it would be foolish for me to prematurely eject myself from the senate when there are still so many opportunities to be of service,” Craig explained.
“I just told him he was being too hard on himself,” Frank said, confirming his receptivity to Senator Craig’s continuation in office. “Even though we’re of different parties, I’ve persuaded him that we can come together on at least this one issue.”

Glad to see I'm not the only one who has asked this question. You wouldn't believe the flak I took when I dared suggest that Craig's "wide stance" claim was impossible and for the very reason you suggest. According to Craig, his pant waist was at mid-thigh and he spread his knees to "keep them from touching the floor." There is no way on Earth that Craig's "wide stance" excuse could hold, not unless he has an 80-inch waist.
BTW, all bathroom stalls at the MSP Airport (both terminals) are extra-wide. I checked.
Is the Hall going to unveil a statue with a wide stance?
You remember Specter, right? He's the guy who went on national TV last month and practically demanded that Craig withdraw his plea and have a circus trial.
