Rudy Gonzales, an actor who bills himself as “one of the nation’s most requested cowboy entertainers” is a close friend of disgraced Sen. Larry Craig, Big Head DC has learned.

The above photo of Craig and his wife Suzanne currently appears on Gonzales’ Web site. The caption below it reads: “Longtime friends Senator & Suzanne Craig. Suzanne is the pretty one on the left, Idaho’s Senior Senator Larry Craig on the right, Rudy in the Middle at Sun Valley, Idaho Banquet.”

Gonzales offers these words of wisdom on his site, which also features him with other famous Idaho politicians: “When I was young the word was always, ‘keep your mouth shut and listen carefully to the old guys and you might learn something.’ And now I are one!” Hmmm. Wonder what saddle tricks he learned from Craig?
