Idaho Republican Sen. Larry Craig
The legislation's chief sponsor, Idaho Republican Sen. Larry Craig, urged colleagues to vote against it. "I believe it is so dramatically wounded that it should not pass," said Craig, who serves on the NRA board. http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/nm/20040302/pl_nm/congress_guns_dc

So does anyone else see a conflict of interest here? This guy needs to be investigated by the ethics committee.

1. An ethics complaint has alrready been lodged...
Craig is a particularly scummy piece of work who has been linked in the past to white supremacist militia groups

2. really?
wow that should be pursued by the so-called liberal press. Talk about taking your ball and going home because the majority of the Senate sees it differently than you do.

3. This Bastard Makes My Skin Crawl!
Take a gander at the FEC filings...Craig gets $4,950 ($50 under the max) from the NRA. And I'm sure that doesn't count the junkets, dinners, parties and other perks this lizzard gets. I heard his bile last week on this issue...no one to rebut him either...and can distort the Second Ammendment that could astound a contortionist.

Of all the Repugnican sleeze during the Clinton Inquisition, this smug asshole irked me the most. Pompous, snide and you can just see the racism, sexism and anti-semetism simmer underneath. Only DeLay makes me cringe worse.
