New West: Craig’s Idaho Reaction Roundup

Is it the simple solidarity of silence, or are Idaho Republican leaders relying on story fatigue to allow them to get away with saying nothing about Larry Craig’s latest? The silence was predictable, but outrage finally boiled over among state Democratic candidates and leaders Thursday after a Senate Ethics committee rebuked Larry Craig for his behavior after he was caught in an airport bathroom sex sting, and Republican leaders were silent. “It’s now time for Idaho’s Republican Party leaders to make their position known: Are they going to support the people of Idaho, or are they going to support the tawdry self interests of Larry Craig?” asked Democratic party chair Keith Roark in a press release/ Jill Kuraitis , New West Boise.
