Larry Craig still makes us laugh

Sen. Larry Craig refuses to give up. In another attempt to have his guilty plea for soliciting a cop in an airport restroom reversed his attorneys suggested on Wednesday that Craig's foot tapping was protected by free speech.

The Idaho Republican pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct in June 2007, after being arrested  for soliciting sex with an undercover cop by using hand signals and tapping his foot.

The lawyers also argued that if no one else but the officer saw the signals then a disorderly conduct charge was invalid.

Craig intends to retire from the Senate when his term ends in January. Which will mean he's going to have a lot of free  time on his hands ... and feet.
