DALLAS --
The gloves have come off in the tight election race between two Texas congressmen -- and every other article of clothing appears to be fair game as well.
Democrats on Monday circulated old newspaper clippings of a 1974 college streaking stunt staged by hundreds of students -- including then-18-year-old Pete Sessions -- at Southwest Texas State University.
The conservative Republican congressman -- who wrote a column condemning Janet Jackson's nude display during her 2004 Super Bowl halftime performance -- apparently bared his bottom with about 300 others in a stunt that ended with arrests and a clash with police. Newspapers were filled with nude photos and headlines like: "Dudes, Broads, Bare Bods."
Southwest Texas students were apparently trying to break a streaking record set by another university amid a nationwide college streaking craze.
"Congressman Sessions' old school days are long gone," said Sessions' spokesman Chris Homan. "He recognizes it as an immature action of an 18-year-old college freshman."

LOL I loved that song.
SPOKEN
"Hello, ev'ryone
This is your Action News reporter
With all the news that is news
Across the nation on the scene at the supermarket
There seems to have been some disturbance here
Pardon me, sir, did you see what happened
SPOKEN
Yeah, I did
I's standin' over there by the tomaters
And here he comes-runnin' through the pole beans
Through the fruits 'n' vegetables
Nekked as a jaybird
'N' I hollered over t'Ethel
I said "DON'T LOOK, ETHEL"
'N' it's too late
She'd already been INcensed
(Here he comes)
Looka dat, looka dat
(There he goes)
Looka dat, looka dat
(And he ain't wearin' no clothes)
Whoa, yes, they call him The Streak
["zipppp" kazoo sound]
(Looka dat, looka dat)
Fastest thing on two feet
Looka dat, looka dat
He's just as proud as he can be of his anatomy
He gun give us a peek
Oh, yes they call him The Streak
["zipppp" kazoo sound]
(Looka dat, looka dat)
He likes to show off his physique
(Looka dat, looka dat)
If there's an audience to be found
He'll be streakin' a-round invitin' public critique
["zipppp" kazoo sound]
SPOKEN
This is your Action News reporter once again
And we're here at the gas station
Pardon me, sir, did you see what happened
SPOKEN
Yeah, I did
I's just in here gettin' my tawres checked
'N' he just appeared outta the back
Come streakin' around the grease rack there
Didn't have nuthin on but a smile
I looked at her and Ethel was gettin' 'er a cold drink
I hollered "DON'T LOOK, ETHEL!!"
But it's too late-she'd already been MOONED
Flashed her right there in front of the shock absorbers
(He ain't crude)
(Looka dat, looka dat)
(He ain't rude)
(Looka dat, looka dat)
(He's just in the mood to run in the nude)
Whoa, yes they call him The Streak
["zipppp" kazoo sound]
(Looka dat, looka dat)
He likes to turn other cheek
(Looka dat, looka dat)
He's always makin' the news
Wearin' just his tennis shoes
Guess you could call him unique
["zipppp" kazoo sound]
[Sound of wire-service telegraphy]
SPOKEN
Once again, your Action News reporter
In the booth at the gym
Covering the disturbance at the basketball playoff
Pardon me, sir, did you see what happened
SPOKEN
Yeah, I did. Halftime, I's just goin' down there
To get Ethel a snow cone
Here he come right outta the cheap seats, dribblin'
Right down the middle of the floor
Didn't have on nothin' but his Keds
Made a hook shot and got out through the concession stand
I hollered up at Ethel
I said "DON'T LOOK, ETHEL"
Too late
She'd already gotten a free shot
Grandstand
Right there in front of the home team
Whoa, yes they call him The Streak
["zipppp" kazoo sound]
CLOSING
Not totally decipherable
because 3 things are going on at once
Ray is singing a verse
And the backup singers are doing (Looka dat, looka dat)
While Ray, on an overlaid track is speaking
[Fastest thing on two feet]
"Ethel, Is that you Ethel
[He's just as proud as he can be]
What do [of his anatomy] you think you're doin
[He gonna give us a peek]
You get your clothes on"
Whoa, yes they call him The Streak
["zipppp" kazoo sound]
"Ethel, where you goin'
[He likes to show off his physique]
Ethel, you shameless hussy"
[If there's an audience to be found
He'll be streakin' a-round
Invitin' public critique]
Say it isn't SO, Ethel
Yet another example of the MSM focusing on the issues at hand and not stuping to partisan, ad hominem attacks, huh?
Tell me if I'm getting carried away. Here is the song.
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/clipserve/B000000CTI001001/0/104-4944946-2851957
Ray Stevens did that on every song,
and I have that album.
Big deal! Move on, nothing here!
Thanks for the reminder of a very funny and clever song from more innocent times. The streaking done by an 18yr. old Sessions will no doubt enhance his resume.
Now this is stupid. Who cares?
Cares? Maybe, maybe not.
Amused? Oh yeah!
The Sessions/Frost race just could not sink any lower. It's truly gotten to be so juvenile that both candidates should be barred from public office for life.
How pathetic. A candidate with any class would say, "I don't care what my opponent did when he was 18." But, not Martin Frost. Meanwhile, we dare not question what Kerry did as a uniformed officer in the '70s.
If the RATs need to publicize this, they're really desperate. I'd think this would help more than hurt.
Islamic terrorists hikacking and crashing commercial airliners into buildings and murdering thousands of innocent US civilians is "a nuisance", but a 30 year old college stunt is a serious problem for the Dims. Go figure.

In 1974 I went to a Walter Cronkite lecture at the LBJ Library in Austin. About half way thru his talk someone (I'd like to think it was Pete Sessions) streaked Cronkite. It was hilarious! Seems like Republicans are the only ones left with a sense of humor :o)
Go Pete Go!
Beyond stupid. The Democrats are making this a campaign issue?
Ended every streak with a handstand....
Frost is the useless neocommunist that we need to get rid of. Flush Frost at the same time we flush the Johns!
I heard he streaked through the church and they caught him by the organ.
