Thinking of a Xmas gift? It’s the gift that keeps on giving..



A novelty website is marketing a new toy figurine in the wake of this year's "toe-tapping" scandal involving Senator Larry Craig (R-ID).

Craig was the subject of heavy ridicule and media scrutiny following the discovery of a guilty plea he lodged to a Minnesota court after his involvement in a gay sex sting at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport in June of this year. The culmination of years of anti-gay votes, along with public support for laws against same-sex couples and openly gay members of the military, the incident prompted Craig to announce plans to resign if his conviction could not be overturned.

The conviction stood, and Craig changed his mind, instead opting to finish out his current term, with the tacit blessing of the Republican Party.
Stupid.com,
selling the talking toy for $34.99, notes that its limbs are bendable, enabling one to pose the miniature Larry Craig into any number of positions, including the now famous "wide stance" Craig referred to during his June consultation with a Minneapolis police officer.
