Rename it Idaho Hall of Infamy. That will take care of the problem. Call it as it really is – once Mr. Wide Stance is inducted. However, his name could be changed to just Larry the Liar.

Amen as well!!
But don’t forget the biggest LIAR & PERVERT of all time “Bill Clinton” who to this day people look the other way, as well as being praised by the left? & is now helping his wife? or whatever he – sorry, she is, to get elected. Some American people think this is OK! When will the people be disgusted with all the wrong & start looking to people with high morals & standards again?

Absolutely right on including comments 1-3.

And let’s not forget the latest “victim” Debora Teel, Borah HS special ed assistant who usurped a parental right by taking a kid to the doctor, getting prescriptions for him and shipping him off to Vegas – all without the parent knowing. And who has been on PAID leave since Aug 30,2007. And whom apparently there was no knowledge of at the District level until recently. Let’s see if the Boise District can beat the paid leave total of the Canyon Co’s prosecutor’s son.

The world is full of scoundrels and buffoons but for some reason, people have a much easier time discussing them than the leaders who are honest, effective and committed to doing the right thing. Yes, there are plenty of them out there. You just don’t hear about them.

All things considered, this country is in pretty good shape, even with the sensationsal misdeeds of a few. Most of us have jobs, live in safety, are well fed, want for little and have enough disposable time and income to debate on message boards. Certainly, some people must be doing something right.

Not to rain on your angry parade, but who are the people we can look to as models? I don’t think this will be nearly as fun and easy to debate as the rotten apples, but it’s the other side of an important discussion.

Wonk Vader & Tom Ryder,

I agree with you 100% – I would like the “drive by media” to help with the positive & let all americans know that all is not lost & we have alot to be thankful for! President Bush has kept us safe, fat & happy, Thank you President Bush!

Billy Graham has let us know of the good news for decades, Rush Limbaugh who has helped us with the political truth, and all the oridinary people who on a daily basis show that their is way more good in this world than evil. GOD Bless

G-Man, you really shouldn’t be so open and invite people to preach. Wonk and Ryder brought out the rest of the “know nothing party”–we know nothing and it is great! Tell us the truth and we are unhappy.

Now we have GW and Billy Graham discussed as role models at the same time!!

G-man,
Way to wind up the whine machine. News a bit slow? You really brought out the Idaho intellectual elite with this one. Too bad the majority of posers on this site don’t have the gumption to get out and expose the daily corruption all around them and actually do some investigative work.

Oh yeah, work might be involved, I forgot, it’s way easier to rant, complain and whine. What most folks don’t get is the media feeds us the juicy raw meat stories so we forget about what is really happening. Folks these stories have always happened and always will. Nothing is new here, this suff and worse has always happened. Pick up a history book, try reading.

G-man hope you will refrain from pandering to the pathetic bloggers who surfaced for this bait, by posting articles like this.

Who are you people? ROB, Bush has kept us safe fat and happy? You checked the treasury recently? While you were blogging he emptied it, mortagaged your kids’ future to the Chinese and created 2 billion enemies for them to fight. We’re embroiled in a quagmire he lied to get us in, spent a half trillion of money we don’t have, and now refuses to leave despite the wishes of an overwhelming majority of Americans.

Limbaugh is the purveyor of political truth? I’m going to vomit. You unabashedly get your news from a guy who carries bottles of viagra to a third world country. You think he’s going down there to engage in the family values he advocates in our political leaders? He lies to get prescription drugs and then blames Democrats and Clinton for his addiction. Yeah another victim. That duplicity and your willingness to overlook it makes me sick. At least you’re consistent with his tactics in blaming Clinton for everything wrong in the world.

Wonk, what is your point? That we’re not dead yet? Or are you yet another apologist for the right wing and their policies when they turn horribly and predictably sour. Is it your contention that everything is fine in Iraq? That 4000 servicemen dead, a hundred thousand Iraqi dead and a million plus refugee problem can be conveiently ignored? That in the grander scheme of things everything in our personal lives is okey dokey so we shouldn’t investigate the mass of misinformation that led to a collossal mistake that you and I really can’t do anything about anyway? Bah! Its that kind of ostrich type mentality that got us in this pickle. We need more personal responsibility not less which I think was the point of the post. Knowledge is power and I for one plan on living a life armed with it rather than relegate myself to the impotent future you and the other sheep so willingly embrace.

OK, my rant. Have you noticed that the Larry Craig story has been turned by some into condeming him as a pedophile and / or a prevert? As it happens gay men are only very rarely either of these things. Those attacking the (very unlamented Senator) seem to do so for many of the wrong reasons. It really isn’t that their young sons aren’t safe in restrooms with the likes of Craig, it IS that the COUNTRY isn’t safe in the hands of the likes of Craig and his myopic me-firstistic attitudes of paying his owners and keepers with the sweet deals while the public can go and be hanged.
