A Classic: Larry Craig's 2007 Biggest Turkey Award

Since I posted Carrie Prejean's audio statuette (below) for this 2009's Biggest Turkey of the Year Award, I thought I should post a classic: The audio statuette of Larry Craig's 2007 Award for Biggest Award. Our producer David Guggenheim does a great job with these. Many thanks to him!

Down the Toilet

In honor of Larry Craig having officially dropped his further appeals to withdraw his guilty plea I thought I'd bring back my video -- which I posted during the holidays recently and which I'm sure a lot of people didn't catch --taking you where no documentarian had yet to go, inside the infamous bathroom stall at the Minneapolis airport. Enjoy.

Inside the Larry Craig Bathroom Stall

On the way back from covering the Republican National Convention for the show, my producer David Guggenheim and I went where few documentarians have gone: Inside the bathroom -- indeed inside the stall -- where Larry Craig did his thing before being arrested, experiencing all the sights and the sounds the senator experienced as well as doing a reenactment of the toe-tapping scene.

We had so many interviews (audio for the show and video for online) to post at that time after the convention and in the heat of the election, that we never got a chance to post this. But now that we read that the bathroom is waning as a tourist attraction at the Minneapolis airport we thought we'd give it a boost.

Back From Denver, Headed to St.Paul

I got back to New York from Denver late last night, but will be headed out to St. Paul for the RNC on Monday. We're not doing a show a Monday, running a re-broadcast (as we did yesterday, while traveling), but we will be on the air live Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from the RNC. We'll get there early Monday, just in time for George W.Bush's and Dick Cheney's speeches. Yes, what a way for the failing party to open their convention, compared to the DNC opening with the inspiration of Ted Kennedy and Michelle Obama.

Our flight left Denver late yesterday, so producer David Guggenheim and I met up earlier in the day with Mike Jones -- the former escort who brought down Ted Haggard and then came out about Larry Craig being a client as well. Mike took us on a tour of the Denver apartment where he entertained Larry Craig (as well as Haggard) and I taped the interview on my cam, all part of our Unofficial Larry Craig Tour. I'll put it up over the weekend.
