Larry Craig must be the dumbest guy in the Senate
and probably the dumbest guy in Idaho.

HOW does he think any of this is helping him?

2. This is great! For us...
Craig may actually try to run for re-election at this rate and then we can watch Idaho's own bigotry work against itself as it votes in a Democrat over that gay guy!

3. Remember his great words, "I am not gay,"
and then everything makes sense.

4. i bet he's feeling pissed of and abandoned by a party that he has carried water for
all these years so he's not leaving without sticking a thumb in their collective eye.

5. Oh, I don't know, Senator Jeff Sessions from Alabama is pretty dumb.
And My Senators from Georgia are REALLY Dumb, but the Dumbest guy in Congress is definitely my so-call Congressman Phil Gingrey.

Put a poll out there.

15. I'm too lazy.
And besides, I don't know if I could narrow it down enough. My poll would have about 25 options. LOL.

30. Yeah! Lynn Westmoreland, he's pretty dumb too...
...I think he's the so-called "representative" from the district right next to mine. If the districts here were not Gerrymandered, I'd most likely have him "representing" me.

Here's the video links to the Colbert interviews, you tell me who's more stupid:

17. I do too. Ya gotta wonder what's going through her head. She sure as hell can't be happy.

13. Idaho traditionally sends dummies to Congress
Edited on Tue Oct-16-07 11:18 PM by IDemo
Former Senator Steve Symms once told my high school class that he believed the Russians were intent on invading the US by burrowing through the crust of the earth with a "subterrine", like a submarine with a really large drill bit on the front.

Former Congressman (not congress-woman, she insisted) Helen Chenoweth once said that "salmon must not be endangered since I can buy them off the shelf at Albertsons." - edit to add: she also stated on national television that she believed "most Idahoans are afraid of government agents in black HEE-licopters", with Dennis Miller laughing hysterically in the background.

Our present repub representative Bill Sali was called "an absolute idiot" by the repub speaker of the Idaho House of Representatives after suggesting a connection between abortions and breast cancer.

14. Ahh
Helen Chenoweth. The woman who had an affair with a married man, denied it in 1995, and when it became public in 1998, when she was assailing Bill Clinton's morals, finally admitted it and said it was "different" for her because she admitted it.

Yeah... AFTER it was proven.

But her stupidity caught up her - not wearing a seatbelt.

18. Clearly, he believes he is the smartest guy! Ha! Outfoxed us homophobes!
yeah, it's just some kinda homophobe witch-hunt. Watch for ole Larry to become sensitive to gays now - not tolerant mind you, just sensitive to their plight now that he's been so thoroughly "smeared" (cough).

I firmly believe Larry Craig believes he has blown smoke over this whole episode. Just you watch, his smart-as-a-whip Senatorial friends will find a way to also make this whole messy debacle become a witch-hunt. It's being creatively spun in front of our very eyes, and the Rethug sheep and other sleeping sheeple will buy this.

19. The stench of desperation filled that room, and it was not Matt's Mexican lunch.
Edited on Tue Oct-16-07 11:26 PM by Neshanic
That poor wife. He did not even tell her.

Do people in Idaho think that news is delivered by stagecoach still? He is that freaking stupid?

That poor cop. They are going to drag him around in the media, a Republican spectacle that they are so good at.

24. isn't it impossible for him to be gay?
He has three children. Therefore he has had some heterosexual sex and must be bisexual, rather than gay.

29. Can't fault him for kicking himself in the teeth.
I guess that is all he has left. I think the GOP will eventually fall apart and fracture.
