PinkDome: burkas! cheerleaders should wear burkas! I think they know this is gonna be on The Daily Show and they are performing and Eiland just played "Shake Your Booty" on a tape recorder at the back mic. This is gonna be fun.
First record vote 64-64, fails to pass. Now we are waiting for the vote verification.
PinkDome: Well that was STUPID
PinkDome: 65-56 is the final vote
Sam: dumb
PinkDome: And there was WHOOPING???
PinkDome: WTF? When did we step through the looking glass?
BluebonPDTX: sexy cheerleading is okay, but those gays. . .
PinkDome: Edwards says that sexy booty shaking moves distract kids from what they should be focused on...
BluebonPDTX: this guy can't keep a straight face
BluebonPDTX: "breaking it down"
BluebonPDTX: LOL
BluebonPDTX: this is a "very serious piece of legislation"
PinkDome: So serious. So serious.
BluebonPDTX: oh, so very serious.
PinkDome: 1-2-3-4, Who thinks cheerleaders are all whores!
Sam: oliveria sure is into the classics...
Sam: maybe the CPS homo investigators should check in to him
BluebonPDTX: support of other cheerleading orgnaizations?
BluebonPDTX: Bill O'Reilly on the Fox News
BluebonPDTX: har har har
PinkDome: who was that woman at the back mic that was so serious.
BluebonPDTX: missed it.
PinkDome: she obviously is bitter b/c she didn't make the squad
PinkDome: 2-3-4-, we can't shake it anymore
Sam: 5-6-7-8 we only know how to legislate hate
PinkDome: haha
PinkDome: Will this affect Romeo & Juliet? Do we become the moral thought police? Sure, that's all the Lege has done this session. Oliveria. HOW MANY TIMES will they say 'booty'
BluebonPDTX: wanna take a booty count?
BluebonPDTX: LOL
BluebonPDTX: I think you should.
PinkDome: HAHAHA no he didn't just out Pres. Bush as a cheerleader at Yale
BluebonPDTX: currently, the booty count stands at 3
BluebonPDTX: Rep. Farrar!
BluebonPDTX: bringing up feminism. . . sorta.
BluebonPDTX: objectifying women!
PinkDome: Farrar had some fun amendments, but she isn't putting them up. Damn.
PinkDome: I want a copy of them.
BluebonPDTX: OMG - she does look like Stanwyck in Gunsmoke.
BluebonPDTX: Rep. Casteel, I mean.
(17:47:21) PinkDome: This doesn't have a chance does it?
(17:47:39) Sam: i don't know
(17:47:41) Sam: i need a drink
(17:47:46) Sam: it shouldn't be here
(17:47:54) Sam: football players patting each other on the butt?
(17:47:58) PinkDome: I can't believe it made it to the floor.
(17:47:59) Sam: overtly sexual actions
(17:48:04) Sam: yea, who let it out of cmte
(17:48:12) PinkDome: Mmmmm...teenage boys patting each other on the butt.
(17:48:22) Sam: sicko
(17:48:37) PinkDome: Did you read the story about the football players hazing the younger players by sodomizing them in some small Texas town?
(17:48:42) Sam: yep
(17:49:05) Sam: happened at my high school a year after i graduated -- they used coat hangers
(17:49:17) PinkDome: Oh. My. GOD.
(17:49:17) Sam: well they got caught a year after
PinkDome: Is that crabb calling dukes sexist?
Sam: yes, i believe he did
PinkDome: hello pot, this is the kettle...you're black
Sam: and ironic in that quote...too
PinkDome: See, no humor in this statement. Harper-Brown says that we have rules, we want cheerleaders to have rules. And that they should have strong moral values. That's retarded. That's a parents role, not the state's role.
Sam: it'd be a sad day in texas football when there's no cheerleaders
Sam: no dance team
PinkDome: or sexy and suggestive dance moves
Sam: and isetts knows what to look for, he's got like 6 kids...he's seen a lot of booty shakin
PinkDome: what would romeo & Juliet be without hot sex scenes. it's the only reason i go to that shakespeare play
PinkDome: Isett: I wish we could go back to 1952 when we had a strong moral center
Sam: yea, well it still is 1952 in lubbock...
PinkDome: true. they need to get cnn
PinkDome: Here's the real question, some reps think this is silly and some really think it is serious? Really?
Sam: well if they think it's silly, then why are we wasting our time on it?
PinkDome: Because a.) the Daily Show is going to cover it and b.) come on we need a little fun after all this hate
Sam: yea, no kidding
Sam: guess i'll have to watch it tonight -- or check the web tomorrow...
PinkDome: and they are already about to close on this? HELL NO. I waited for this all day
Sam: kinda anti-climatic huh
PinkDome: yeah. that sucks. somebody run in there and shake it like they might break it
Sam: or drop it like it's hot!
PinkDome: HEY......HO......HEY... sorry, I was on a tangent. haha
PinkDome: It's gone from sexually suggestive to 'overly sexual' according to edwards
Sam: because there's a difference?
PinkDome: Between a t-back and a thong?
Sam: LHB talking about cupcakes...interesting
PinkDome: no comment.
Sam: let's define the difference...i believe they both go up your backside
PinkDome: true, but would you say one is sexually suggestive and the other is overly sexual?
PinkDome: see? fine line.
Sam: it truly is a fine line
PinkDome: HAR
Sam: the message is what? protecting our children's children...and not standing by while we're offended at high school football games
Sam: RECORD VOTE PEOPLE!!!!! This is serious stuff.
PinkDome: shhh. let's get ready.
