ACLU: Sex in restroom stalls is private. The AP reports: In an effort to help Sen. Larry Craig, the American Civil Liberties Union is arguing that people who have sex in public bathrooms have an expectation of privacy.
Man, you know that Craig's options must suck when having the ACLU come to his rescue by arguing that he has the right to privacy when he goes down on men in public bathroom stalls seems like a good thing.
And is it me, or does anyone else think the whole Craig tale would make an excellent off Broadway musical?
Kudos to Max for the link.
Remember "Privates On Parade"? Hell, Larry! could even be in that except for the antiwar message. Maybe he could tell himself that POP isn't an antiwar movie and that it's not about theater. Might carry him through.

JDM: I want the off B'way musical to be a real gender mind-fuck. boys playing girls. Girls playing boys. And lots of jazz hands, of course. GMB

What's that word for enjoying other people's well-deserved misery? Oh yeah--Schadenfreude. Well I am schadenfreuding all over the place over Craig's resorting to the ACLU for help. Ha-talk about strange stall-fellows.

hey, does that mean that Jonah Goldberg's frequent acid-laced bong hits in airport bathrooms is also protected?
it could at least be an interesting setup for the sequel.

That sounds like a great setup for a joke: "Larry Craig and Jonah Goldberg walk into this bathroom stall and......"

Michele: You and me both. I should point out that the privacy argument was offered in the alternative, but still. Schadenfreude indeed.
Commander: Sadly, the wingers are one note. That is, it is more likely that yet another one will be nabbed in a bathroom trying to blow a hunky undercover cop than using the stall to toke. Beside, the pugs seem to prefer to abuse prescription drugs.
Gene214: That image makes me happy that I already ate. GMB
