Larry Craig "bobblefoot"

Posted by David Pescovitz, May 22, 2008 10:20 AM | permalink

Fans at the St. Paul Saints game this Sunday will be treated to the fine "bobblefoot" giveaway pictured here, a dig at Senator Larry Craig's foot-tapping sex solicitation wide stance incident at the Twin Cities airport last year. From the Minneapolis Star Tribune:

One of the feet is springloaded and "taps," which, the Saints' press release says, is in honor of National Tap Dance Day.

Right.

The team also takes pains to note: "It doesn't matter if your tapping style is done with a 'wide stance' or is used as some sort of code."

I recognize the tapping style of this "bobblefoot" as a signal used by persons wishing to engage in lewd conduct.

No doubt the seats will be filled on Sunday and these bobble 'feet' will be on Ebay for inflated prices on Monday.

It's definitely a changing room. There's no toilet in there!

Someone should give these away there during the Republican convention. Should also offer tours to the stall or a least hand out location maps for all the Republican delegates as they fly in.

#10, it's already been done--why do you think that the Republicans are having their convention there this summer? I'm sure many of them are bummed that the stall is no longer operative.

If anyone cares to check, the Village Voice ran an article during the RNC convention in NYC in 2004, where they surveyed sex workers and found the general perception among them is that the Republicans tend to be more into freaky sex than their Democrat counterparts--go figure!
