Holden letter: Idaho Republicans

Oh what a beautiful morning in America.

Now that Alabama has elected a Democrat instead of a pedophile, we in Idaho can finally hoist the banner as the reddest state in the lower 48.

Since the Idaho Statesman limits letters to the editor to 200 words, I will paraphrase our congressional junior varsity team by their own words.

Risch/Crapo: “Wait and see.” Simpson: “We don’t have that albatross around our neck.” Labrador: Silent.

I suppose actual statesmanship would be too much to ask.

I am simply asking my fellow Idahoans to expect better.

An “R” by your name shouldn’t be a free pass.
