PRESS RELEASE
Re: Letter to editors, and fodder for radio guys.
The CIEDRA Kid!
There’s a lot of humor and potato-headedness in Idaho politics, but mostly what it takes to win any kind of major office here is a great big pile money & horse-feathers.
This year Idaho Public Television and the Idaho Press Club share the crown for the prestigious election year “Potato Head Award”. KTVB finished a sad third, and can’t revel in the glory. Sorry guys, maybe next time.
Prior to May 27, we’ll be posting the results and scoring for various contests to our website, along with our rigged criteria for qualification. For those of you who are forgetful, election night in Idaho is where we all get together, tip a few, and celebrate the S.O. S. (same old, well, not exactly ‘stuff’). Hey, Bubba, put your money away. I’ll buy this round. The view from Jack Wayne Chappell’s campaign is that: “If you’re going to run for office, you might as well have fun doing it.”
Avant! To the issues! CIEDRA is the 2nd phoniest piece of unsolicited garbage that any turncoat, cutthroat republican ever came up with. Even though you can’t drag the incumbent who sponsored that piece of larceny out of office with a log chain and a D-8 CAT, he deserves to be drug out that way. The incumbent congressman finished second in the prestigious ‘Potato-headed Politicians Contest’ inched out of 1st place by Senator Crapo and his Owyhee Canyonlands lock-up. Kudos, Crapo! You topped the heap! You also win top honors in BSA category!
Here’s the deal, folks! Crapo confiscates 15 million dollars in federal pork from taxpayer dollars, and divies up the loot between Simplot, Senator Brackett, the Davis family, a few others; bribes the tribes, leaves Paul Nettleton and Tim Lowry out to hang and dry; and in exchange for the 15 million, these fine folks lock the rest of us out of over a half million acres of Owyhee County’s best and most beautiful public trails.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, the Columbia Basin Tribes hike off with 900 million more to save the salmon, and that’s just a drop in the bucket!
Recently I popped off at the CIEDRA Kid saying, “You’ll probably win this election, just because I’m so broke and you’re so rich, but at least I’m not in bed with Carol King and those environmental fuzz-heads from Sun Valley!”
He fired back, “Well, Jack, Carol King is probably the only single woman in the second district that you haven’t been in bed with!”
I said, “Now hold on right there, buster. I’d have to check my journal on that one.”
He said, “Well you go right ahead and check your journal, Jack, but before you do, I’ll bet-cha fifty bucks.”

Grin if you want to, snarl if you please; but there’s reason for the joke. I want you all to know that you don’t have to worry about me playing footsy in the men’s room or taking a ‘wide stance’. I’m openly hetero-sexual, which is almost against the law these days.
