Colossus of Idaho?
According to a news story in the Idaho Statesman in Boise:
U.S. Sen. Larry Craig was honored Saturday evening for his many years of public service at an Idaho Hall of Fame ceremony.Given what Senator Craig has told us about himself, does this honor make him the "Colossus of Idaho"? Take a look:David Leroy, the emcee for the ceremony and former lieutenant governor, noted at the opening of the event that the board had been criticized by media outlets nationwide for its decision not to pull Craig from their group of inductees, which includes Gov. Butch Otter and Boise State University President Bob Kustra.
"The Idaho Hall of Fame board has well considered each of these nominees," Leroy said, adding later that the Hall of Fame honors a history of achievement.
In his introduction of Craig, he entertained the audience with quotes about the price of fame, including one by author Truman Capote, who said, "Fame is only good for one thing — they will cash your check in a small town."
Just asking.

From what I hear, the induction took place in the Boise Idaho Hall of Fame men's room.
