Before Idaho Senator Larry Craig was Senator Larry Craig, he was Congressman Larry Craig.
Just out of high school I was the news department at a local radio station. I spoke with Larry a lot. He always made himself available for interviews and it was an easy way to get sound bites for newscasts. I always like the cat, he suffered through a million questions from me as a dumb twenty-year old I'm sure.
I interviewed him in person once, when there was a grassroots movement to make a 51st state out of north Idaho combined with eastern Washington. I was recording the interview, as always, and asked him 'off the record' what he thought of it. He said, "I never say anything off the record with a tape recorder running."
He always treated me good and never made any moves on me. I guess I'm just not that hot.
