Campaign buttons show Obama with Larry Craig
CNN Political Ticker ^ | July 28, 2008 | Alexander Mooney

(CNN) – Barack Obama likes to stress his willingness to work across party lines, but Republican Sen. Larry Craig probably isn't the Illinois senator's top choice when it comes to showcasing his bipartisan credentials.

But campaign buttons mistakenly featuring those two politicians surfaced over the weekend under the Obama campaign's motto "Change You Can Believe In," according to CNN Idaho affiliate KPVI.

The buttons, created by an Ohio-based company called Tigereye Design, was supposed to feature Obama alongside the Democratic Senate candidate in Idaho, Larry LaRocco. A retired editor for the Lewiston Tribune noticed the mistaken buttons and printed them in Sunday's edition.

LaRocco's campaign says the buttons weren't ordered by them, but rather a commercial firm that sells campaign memorabilia.

I never noticed it before, but Larry Craig does have a powerful gaze. He’s focused like a laser beam. It’s more than just the stance. It’s the rays.

“I heard BHO’s theme song is now “Tiptoe Through The Tulips”.”
I believe that’s “Tap Toes Through The Mensroom!”

"sexual relations" with that fellow (Larry Sinclair),
nor were we ever alone together.

You sure it isn't "Taptoe Through The Twolips"?

From CNN.com, June, 2007:

According to Roll Call, the arresting officer alleged that Craig lingered outside a rest room stall where the officer was sitting, then entered the stall next door and blocked the door with his luggage.

According to the arrest report cited by Roll Call, Craig tapped his right foot, which the officer said he recognized "as a signal used by persons wishing to engage in lewd conduct."

The report alleges Craig then touched the officer's foot with his foot and the senator "proceeded to swipe his hand under the stall divider several times," according to Roll Call.

At that point, the officer said he put his police identification down by the floor so Craig could see it and informed the senator that he was under arrest, before any sexual contact took place.
