Trib: Jeers To Billboard Operator

JEERS … to former state Rep. Maurice Clements, R-Caldwell. Thanks to him Idaho is back on the map.This time, it’s a sign Clements operates as co-executor of the late Ralph Smeed’s foundation.On the left side is a smirking James Holmes, the suspect in the Aurora, Colo., theater shooting.”Kills 12 in movie theater with an assault rifle,” the caption reads. “Everybody freaks out.”On the right side is a smiling President Barack Obama. “Kills thousands with his foreign policy,” the caption reads. “Wins Nobel Peace Prize.” Nothing - not an appeal from Caldwell Mayor Garret Nancolas, national media criticism or outrage from the families of the Colorado shooting victims - has deterred Clements, who served in the Legislature in the 1970s with a fellow Smeed acolyte named C.L. (Butch) Otter/ Marty Trillhaase , Lewiston Tribune. More here.

Question: Do you have anyone you’d like to cheer or jeer today?
