Awkward moments abound in penis pump trial

If convicted, his obscenely bloated pension should be stripped from the pervert.

I'm sure glad you said pension.

Depending on the effort one puts into it, the law can work on a sliding scale----sometimes reaching its highest pinnacle, sometimes limping along like a deflated balloon.

Heh. From your link:

"There was another case where a defendant actually dropped their trousers in court, bent over and showed the judge the words 'Happy Christmas' written on their behind, and that was found not to be in contempt also. I think that defendant was probably fairly lucky, I might say."

[cripplecreek]

The penal system will straighten him out.

[DungeonMaster]

Very groovy post!

[Liz]

Yeah, but sometimes the kinks in the system have to be worked and worked. Ask Bruce and his girlfriend.

[Hegemony Cricket]

Sounds like a typical case of one-eyed blind justice...

[B Knotts]

Oh...man...after reading that link, I'm literally in tears laughing.

Quote of the year, at the very least:

RICHARD LEADER: Yes. What actually tends to happen with insults to judges is that findings of contempt are not made. There was another case where a defendant actually dropped their trousers in court, bent over and showed the judge the words 'Happy Christmas' written on their behind, and that was found not to be in contempt also. I think that defendant was probably fairly lucky, I might say.

ROTFLMAO

[Echo Talon]

Now that just sucks....

[cowboyway]

I guess this puts Limbaughs Viagra issue in a different perspective

I thing that I've heard.....no.....I'm sure that I've heard a "sh-sh" while listening to Rush.

[yellowdoghunter]

If the pump don't fit.....

LOL! Oh, my gosh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[cripplecreek]

Bailiff, whack his pee pee.

[yellowdoghunter]

There are also reports that he clipped his toe nails during one trial and also shaved himself, (ya know, down there) during another. This guy is something else.....

>Former Judge Donald D. Thompson, a veteran of 23 years on the bench, is on trial on charges he used a penis pump on himself in the courtroom while sitting in judgment of others

Now we'll all wonder
how many Freepers do this
while they are freeping!

[Liz]

Hey, you can depend on it---justice comes in various sizes.

[Liz]

Judge and his wife.

[Ditter]

His poor wife in the photo, standing bravely at his side but unable to hold her head up. She will never be able to hold her head up again if that little town in OK is like the little town we lived in. If Mr. Ditter did something like that I would NOT be standing up with him, I'd be home packing to move.

[Constitution Day]

Boy, I bet she's proud.

LMAO

[subterfuge]

Thompson's former court reporter, Lisa Foster, wiped away tears as she described tracing an unfamiliar "sh-sh" in the courtroom to her boss.

Must have been tears of laughter because this is just funny as it can be. Aside from the fact that American taxpayers paid the perv for decades.

[Dinsdale]

Maybe she bought him the pump?

Do you believe she did'nt know her hubby was a perv? How long had they been married?
