Molly Ivins had a great story on Chisum.

It was just after TX had passed a new anti-sodomy law. The debate was classic. Paraphrasing from memory, it went something like this:

“But Warren, what if I’m poking around in the dark with my wife, and accidently miss and end up in the wrong hole? You’d arrest me for that?”

“That’s right, Bob. It’s unnatural.”

Anyway, it passed. Afterwards, one legislator noticed Chisum shaking hands wih another supporter of the bill. He went up to them said, “You know, you guys can’t do that. It’s against the law in this state for a dick to touch an asshole.”

(I hope I’m getting this right.) Shortly after the legislature passed a billl (sponsored, I believe, by Mr. Chisum) outlawing sodomy in Texas, Mr. Chisum was seen to be touching the arm of a fellow legislator he was trying to persuade to vote with Chisum on something or other. Onlookers pointed out that this was illegal: “in the state of Texas, it is illegal for a pr**k to touch an a**hole.” Looks like Mr. Chisum is busy again trying to regulate the private lives of Texans.</p> I believe Mr. Chisum figured prominently in one of Molly Ivins’s many wonderful tales of goings-on in the Texas legislature.
