Larry Craig, Former Republican Senator, Opens Consulting Firm

IDAHO FALLS, Idaho — Former U.S. Sen. Larry Craig has opened a consulting firm and says he's focusing on energy issues.

The Idaho Republican served 18 years in the Senate and 10 in the House. He has an office in Eagle, in southwest Idaho, and another in Washington, D.C.

In January, Craig formed New West Strategies LLC with his former chief of staff, Mike Ware.

Craig says the firm has four clients, including Blackfoot-based Premier Technology, a construction management company with clients that include the U.S. Department of Energy and the Department of Defense.

Craig didn't run for re-election last November.

In 2007, he was arrested by an undercover police officer conducting a sting operation against men cruising for sex at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.

Craig will probably have his office next to a public men's room so that he can connect with other sexual deviants. Unfortunately, he will accost normal men in the process.

Glory be, and glory holes in the bathroom stalls.

But at least he loves his wife. I know that's true because he said so.

[Bude]

He loves money more.

I saw the headline and just KNEW it was going to be good reading.
Little did I know, some of these almost made coffee come out of my nose.

It must have been a tricky application process with Mike Ware sliding his credentials to Larry Craig under the stall divider but he has surely latched himself onto a toe tapping political rising star.
