Larry Craig now claiming

[pokerfan]

that his lewd conduct in public restroom was protected speech under the First Ammendment!

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/09/10/foot-tapping-protected-by-first-amendment-craigs-lawyer-argues/">Foot tapping protected by First Amendment, Craig's lawyer says

[LSparkle]

1. WTF? Larry Craig ain't Mr. Bojangles ... his feet can't talk!

:wtf:

[hootinholler]

10. Well the cop said he understood Larry's dance. n/t

[meowomon]

2. I Agree

But peeping into the other stall is stalking!

[pokerfan]

15. I agree on the toe tapping

Peeping through cracks into stalls is an invasion of privacy. So is sliding one's foot into the adjacent stall touching another's foot and then reaching under the divider.

I think his first amendment defense only really applies to the foot tapping per se.

[BlueIdaho]

3. As an Idahoan, I feel the need to apologize to you all for this dumb bastard

Larry Craig is now and will always be one of Idaho's punch lines. I am sorry he keeps interjecting himself into the daily news cycle.

Not everyone in Idaho is this fucking stupid - really!

[Ian David]

5. If everyone in Idaho was that stupid, you'd all suffocate trying to eat potatoes...

with your heads in the dirt.

[pokerfan]

13. Howdy neighbor!

I'm in the state to your left.

And since Larry Craig is back in the news, I give you the orginal 'Tap Three Times' before the Capitol Steps stole it.

Toilet trollin’ Senator Craig
Standing so tall outside my bathroom stall at the airport
Through the crack I see you peeking
I know what you’re really seeking
You tap a code from the next door commode
Playin’ footsie
It’s Lusty Larry!

Tap three times with your loafer if you want me
Twice on the tank – if the answer is no
Tidy bowl man!
Tap. Tap. Tap
Means you’ll meet me in the stall-way
Twice on the tank means you just gotta go

Being busted inside a john
It’s not a thing that a right-wing Republican should do
All your talk of family values
Flushed away in scandalous loo news
And all your denials are stinking like piles of political poo
(What a wide stance.)

Tap three times with your loafer if you want me
Twice on the tank – if the answer is no.
Dirty Larry!
Tap. Tap. Tap.
He’s unbuckling his beltway
White and far right means you’re from Idaho

Crapitol Hill is buzzin'
About Larry’s lavatorial lovin'
It seems so wrong wanting sex in a john.
(Hey, rent a motel.)

Tap three times with your loafer if you want me
Twice on the tank – if the answer is no
Tap. Tap. Tap.
Means you’ll meet me in the stall-way
You’re in the tank, better say adios

[Ian David]

4. "Let me be clear...

Oh, forget it.

I've done all of those already.

[dixiegrrrrl]

6. ah......Free Speech is now partisan, is it?

Repugs can have it,
regular people can't?

[mrJJ]

7. Grand Ole Pedophile

He feels empowered; now that the leader of the "new & improved" Grand Ole Pedophile leader John McCain came out with his pro pedophile advertisement.

[AnarchoFreeThinker]

8. It was all just a big misunderstanding. When his foot said "blowjob" it meant "teabag"

[Catherine Vincent]

9. Mr. Happy Feet hasn't stepped down yet? nt

[tanyev]

11. Was he tapping out a message in Morse Code?

[Gothmog]

12. ACLU filed an Amicus Brief on this a while back

This is not new. The ACLU filed an amicus brief in this case making that argument.

[pokerfan]

14. This isn't about the amicus brief

This is his own lawyers now making that argument.

[Gothmog]

17. Yes, Larry Craig's attorneys are using the ACLU's argument

Remember, the ACLU helped keep rush out of jail. Craig would be well advised to try to take advantage of the ACLU's briefs

[mitchum]

16. Doesn't everyone know that the Original Framers were a bunch of tearoom queens?

I guess they really aren't teaching history in school any longer
