This will be a hot gift this Christmas - the talking Larry Craig doll. Push the button and the doll declares, "I am not gay." I thought this part was amusing:
The arms are "bendable, so you can put him in all sorts of poses... even the famous 'wide stance' the Senator refers to," the company says on its web site.
They really should have made the waist bendable.

They should have made its ankle bend in order to tap his toe.

No.
It should dance the Hokey Pokey (I think that's the spelling).

"What is NOT funny are your Gay jokes."
They are really more hypocrit jokes than gay jokes... and why do you capitalize gay?

Does it also say "I will resign my seat. No, wait. I will not resign my seat. Ok. I will resign my seat. Naw. I will not resign my seat"?

Does the doll's display box look like a closet?

Does a "I am not gay" doll help or hurt the gay rights cause? Talk amongst yourselves.

Does one hand reach over the other?
Also does the doll say, "No, no!"
