Obscenity charge vs. Texas woman dropped

[Rose Siding]

CLEBURNE, Texas -- An obscenity charge has been dropped against a woman who received nationwide attention when she was arrested for selling two sex toys to undercover police officers posing as a couple.

A judge dismissed the case against Joanne Webb, Johnson County Attorney Bill Moore said Friday in a statement. He said he asked the judge for the dismissal to prevent wasting county resources, but didn't say when the dismissal occurred.

No one answered the phone at Moore's office Saturday morning.

1. Thank God they are weeding out the real threats to democracy

instead of focusing on terrorism and other straw men.

7. AMEN!

Conservatives can no longer claim that they protect us from terror, so they go after such dire threats as gay marriage and Janet Jackson's breast.

I can't wait until November. It will be better than 1992. One by one these people will be voted out of office hopefully never to return..

2. They let this fiend go???

Where's the justice? Where's the justice I ask? Meanwhile, Enron executives get punished way too harshly by having to serve a full YEAR in jail for destroying thousands of lives, and sick, dangerous women like this walk free! I must go pray for our president now.

6. "Why would a woman want you, when she has a suitcase

full of sex toys?" Rosanne

I always find it amusing that the Ashcroft crowd of men absolutely hate the idea of sex toys and women's access to them (see: Alabama dildo stories)
I think it says a LOT about these men's insecurity as to their own ability to perform adequately in bed, or even competently, if at all.
