Yeah, that was a new one for me as well. There will be no foot tapping next time I'm in a public restroom!

 

[kendall]

New one for me... So if this isn't in FL, nor in DC or MI, is this MN specific? Hey Minnesotans, we are waiting to hear from you!

 

[Linzybrooke]

This is just, well, bizarre. As a native Minnesotan I take the oath to tap my foot excessivly in the restroom the next time I go to visit my sister and will report back to the dis on the status of my freedom.

 

[2angelsinheaven]

Yipes. Guess I'll keep my feet still if I ever visit Minnesota...lol. Wouldn't want anyone to get the wrong impression. Is it only the right foot that signals this, or both...=o I think I've heard it all.

 

[Agent Provocateur]

Well, that does explain an odd encounter I had once in a public restroom.

 

[Mugg Mann]

Hey, I can name that tune in three taps........

 

[DISUNC]

Nice try to blow off yet another Repug hypocrite. But there is far more to this than someone tapping his foot. But let me quote some of the rest of the story. From Roll Call, the source of the CNN story.

“I could see Craig look through the crack in the door from his position. Craig would look down at his hands, ‘fidget’ with his fingers, and then look through the crack into my stall again. Craig would repeat this cycle for about two minutes,” the report states.

YOU GO SENATOR SLAPPY!!!!

“At 1216 hours, Craig tapped his right foot. I recognized this as a signal used by persons wishing to engage in lewd conduct. Craig tapped his toes several times and moves his foot closer to my foot. I moved my foot up and down slowly. While this was occurring, the male in the stall to my right was still present. I could hear several unknown persons in the restroom that appeared to use the restroom for its intended use. The presence of others did not seem to deter Craig as he moved his right foot so that it touched the side of my left foot which was within my stall area,” the report states.

Craig then proceeded to swipe his hand under the stall divider several times, and Karsnia noted in his report that “I could ... see Craig had a gold ring on his ring finger as his hand was on my side of the stall divider.”

In a recorded interview after his arrest, Craig “either disagreed with me or ‘didn’t recall’ the events as they happened,” the report states.

Craig stated “that he has a wide stance when going to the bathroom and that his foot may have touched mine,” the report states. Craig also told the arresting officer that he reached down with his right hand to pick up a piece of paper that was on the floor.

“It should be noted that there was not a piece of paper on the bathroom floor, nor did Craig pick up a piece of paper,” the arresting officer said in the report.

Oh and typical Regug abuse of power.

After he was arrested, Craig, who is married, was taken to the Airport Police Operations Center to be interviewed about the lewd conduct incident, according to the police report. At one point during the interview, Craig handed the plainclothes sergeant who arrested him a business card that identified him as a U.S. Senator and said, “What do you think about that?” the report states.

By the way, this was a known hangout with known codes to engage in Lewd behavior. AND THE SENATOR PLEAD GUILTY!!!!!

Oh it gets even better.
Craig. From 1999.

The American people already know that Bill Clinton is a bad boy, a naughtyboy.
I’m going to speak out for the citizens of my state, who in the majority think that Bill Clinton is probably even a nasty, bad, naughty boy.

BWAHAAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Yet another bloviating right wing hypocrite exposed. My marriage is fine Senator. It doesn't need to be saved from Homosexuals, of which it appears you are one. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but there is something wrong with your hypocrisy Senator. Go save your own marriage and better yet, apologize to your wife whom you obviously keep around for political convenience and to each and every homosexual that does a better job of keeping to their partners and to their word than you.

Well. That's yet another pick up opportunity in a slew of them come 2008.

Keep it up Repugs. Who's next? Doolittle? Another corrupt Bush official? Bring it on boys!!! Bring it on!!!

 

[OK!]

This is just, well, bizarre. As a native Minnesotan I take the oath to tap my foot excessivly in the restroom the next time I go to visit my sister and will report back to the dis on the status of my freedom.

 

[stinkerbelle's mom]

Wow, the things that go on in the world. Can't believe there was a secret code for that?!?!?!

Really wondering how the cop knew the secret code??!?!

 

[Southern4sure]

Poor Happy Feet

 

[Zippa D Doodah]

OMG! Who new? I will be watching my feet closely in public restrooms from here on out

It's easy to laugh at things like this, but in the real world, sex in public bathrooms in Airports and State roadside rest areas is a problem. As I have said before, I own my own janitorial cleaning business and while I don't work in the above mentioned areas, I know people who do. For some strange reason, sexual encounters in the men's bathrooms at airports is something that is fairly common. I think it's due to the fact that it's obviously anonymous and in the short term. To tell you the truth, I really don't want to know why. After 8 years of cleaning public bathrooms in large office buildings, I have seen enough filth and grime to turn me off from using them the way they were intended. Let alone for the purpose of shagging someone.


I have to admit that this doesn't look good for members of the GOP and especially those who were trying to ban same sex marriages. I'm sure this poor excuse of a man voted to legally discriminate against gay Americans, even though he's obviously gay himself. I don't understand that mindset and how he could look himself in the mirror? Very similar to Ted Haggard and Mark Foley, IMO. All of these men are troubled individuals who need professional help. This is the party of family morals and values?
No thanks, I'll pass. Man, I have got to start my own political party because this has moved beyond ridiculous.

Boy, the news reports are sounding awful.

If he was gonna get a lawyer, he should have. He was trying to keep it on the down low and forgot this is the 21st century and information is readily accessible to your friends and your enemies.

 

[binny]

as a Native Idahoan I am disgusted by his behaviour.

He didnt tell anyone, his staff, his family, his friends. They all learned about the same way we did.




OTOH who knew that tapping your feet signaled anything other than the pee pee dance?

 

[yeartolate]

I think when your foot is tapping on another man''s foot and you reach your hand under the next stall it is a wee wee more than a pee pee dance.
