We were sort of noting, repeatedly, back when Idaho Senator Larry Craig was supposed to have been planning to resign, that if he didn't, he would be in the unusual position of being able to say what he really thinks about people and politics, including many of those at the highest levels.
He has some reasons of loyalty for not bashing some of those Idaho Republicans, such as the other members of the state's congressional delegation, who haven't turned on him. But a whole lot of other Republicans may have to watch out.
That was our thought today when we saw Craig's quote, to NBC, about presidential candidate Mitt Romney: "I'd worked hard for him here in the state. I was a co-chair of his campaign on Capitol Hill. And he not only threw me under his campaign bus, he backed up and ran over me again."
Having established some cred with that quote - because what that metaphoric depiction is what happened - you wonder what observations are next.
