Interesting take on Larry, apparently this guy has no shame and will accept the award... the Republicans must be hoping that this guy would just fade into obscurity, however he is doing the opposite...have to wonder if he used the restroom??

BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Sen. Larry Craig was named Saturday night to the Idaho Hall of Fame, marking the Republican lawmaker's first ceremonial appearance back in his home state since his arrest in an airport bathroom sex sting became public in August.
Craig, 62, seated near the front of the banquet room, received polite applause and a few encouraging hoots when he was introduced.
"I hope in a very sincere way that the attention that's been brought to me has not lessened the honor you receive," Craig told the other nominees and about 200 people who attended the dinner....
Before the event, Michael Ritz, an Idaho Hall of Fame board member, said he had been bombarded with calls from national media outlets wanting to know whether they could set up cameras at the $50-a-head function. And while even some Republican Party members suggested withdrawing or delaying Craig's nomination until another year, Ritz said the 12-member board opted to go ahead.
"We thought, 'It's kind of going back on your word,'" he said before the event. "Once a person has been sent a letter and voted into the Hall of Fame, it would be kind of like breaking a promise."
