43rd State Unleashes On GOP’s LaRocco Attack

Last Friday, Idaho Rethuglican Party chairmoron Norm Semanko and his guano-gargling lickspittle Sid Smith used former presidential candidate John Edwards' admission of an affair in 2006 to attack U.S. Senate candidate Larry LaRocco. It's almost certain that Jim "Angry Gnome" Risch is behind the ham-handed GOP attack on LaRocco. It appears that The Gnome and Scumanko -- terrified that Risch's flaccid poll numbers will only continue to deflate -- went into panic mode and began wildly spraying sewage in the vain hope of knocking the LaRocco campaign down to the Idaho Rethug's level/Serephin, 43rd State Blues. More here.

Question: Are you surprised that the Republicans dredged up this old issue so early in the campaign? Is it a legitimate issue? If matters were reversed, would the Demos have used it?
