The freedom to show butt cleavage will not be abridged in Louisiana, after all. A bill proposed by state Rep. Derrick Shepherd, D-Marrero, that would outlaw low-riding pants that expose underwear or anything else traditionally below the belt failed to pass the House Tuesday. State Rep. Danny Martiny, R-Kenner, said, "Passing this law will make us the laughingstock of the country." Oops, too late ...
