Help Wanted: Idaho GOP Hiring

For a guy who says he wants to avoid making headlines, Idaho Republican Party Chairman Steve Yates managed to do just that last week. Swinging through Twin Falls, Yates told the Times-News’ Nathan Brown he had picked a new finance chairman. Larry Craig. Yes, that Larry Craig. The same Larry Craig who incinerated a 28-year career — first as a representative from the 1st Congressional District and then as U.S. senator — when he got caught in a gay sex sting operation in a Minneapolis airport men’s room in 2007. The same Larry Craig who tried to wiggle off the hook — first by flashing his Senate identification to the undercover airport cop he allegedly solicited and next by claiming he had a “wide stance”/ Marty Trillhaase , Lewiston Tribune.

Question: Um, can you think of a better person for the Idaho GOP finance job that Larry Craig?
