Another men's-room toe-tapping GOPer: Joey DiFatta (R-St. Bernard Parish, LA)

[DemoTex]

The Times-Picayune of New Orleans has revealed that records it had obtained showed that local St. Bernard Parish Councilman Joey DiFatta has been stopped twice since 1996 for suspicion of engaging in lewd behavior in public restrooms in the area.

DiFatta, 53, on Thursday mysteriously withdrew from a state senate campaign, citing chest pains.

The paper reported that he "acknowledged that reports he had been stopped are true, but he denied any wrongdoing in both cases. He said he was not prosecuted in either case and has no arrest record.

1. That clinches it.

I am buying a Hilti Nail Gun, getting a holster built for it, so I can carry it everywhere and nailing my feet to the floor when I go to a public restroom.

You just cannot be too safe in these times.

2. No kidding

Whatever you do, don't have an iPod or other portable music devices playing music when you use a public restroom!

I read somewhere that Pal Joey had thrown down some sort of Sheriff's ID when accosted by police.
