"Maybe in 10 or 15 years we can think of this hall of fame stuff. Now is not the time," he said. "It's a sad day to be a Republican."
It's really hard not to giggle over this. The Republicans must want to kill this guy. But that quote really tells all about the modern day Republican party.
See, if you had any morals whatsoever, you would have been ashamed to be a republican when, oh, I don't know, New Orleans drowned maybe? But these guys consider it a sad day when one of them is outed as a homosexual. Believe me that is the least of their problems.
Sen. Craig to Join Idaho Hall of Fame
Embattled Sen. Larry Craig to Join Idaho Hall of Fame Despite Sex Sting Guilty Plea

BOISE, Idaho
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.
The nonprofit Idaho Hall of Fame Association picked Craig in March, months before he pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct after a Minneapolis airport police officer accused him of soliciting sex in the men's restroom, the organization's board chairman said.
"Larry Craig has made a great contribution to Idaho over the period of 20-some years. At the time it was considered, this other matter had not come up," Harry Magnuson told The Spokesman-Review newspaper Saturday.
But some Republicans said the honor is inappropriate now. Kootenai County Republican precinct committeeman Phil Thompson said Idaho Hall of Fame officials should consider at least postponing the induction.
"Maybe in 10 or 15 years we can think of this hall of fame stuff. Now is not the time," he said. "It's a sad day to be a Republican."
