Oh, the irony: Even as Norm "unconventional marriage (to say the least)" Coleman, repositioning himself as a Family Values Candidate, runs ads attacking Al Franken over his ties to Playboy, it seems that at least two of Norm’s fellow Minnesota Republican officeholders, paleocon Professional Christian Michele Bachmann and run-of-the-mill knuckledragger Erik Paulsen, were among the beneficiaries of Texas Republican Pete Sessions’ Forty Deuce strip-club fundraiser for the PAC that gave them money.

(Seems that Sessions is in tight with casino and strip-club operators.)

Sessions’ fundraising PAC is called the “People for Enterprise/Trade/Econ Growth“, and here’s the FEC data for Bachmann ($2500) and Paulsen ($5000). Wonder how many other “family values” types got Pete Sessions’ stripper money?

looks like "traditional" gender roles to me--their kind of thing [Report this comment] Posted by: Zenobia on Jul 31, 2008 9:18 PM Current rating: 5 [1 = poor; 5 = excellent] As I have written over and over, the idea of women acting as sexual servants to men is very "traditional"/ biblical. Republicans like"traditional"/ biblical gender roles. So why should this be surprising? --assuming the strippers in question were female. If not, then this might be an interesting story... This makes much more sense to me than "liberals" supporting such sexist crap, which I cannot understand at all. It seems, rather, a given.

[Report this comment] Posted by: saadasim on Aug 1, 2008 9:33 AM Current rating: Not yet rated [1 = poor; 5 = excellent] Surprised that they went to a Female strip club. Normally closeted Republicans go in to men's bathroon, page teenage boys or bring home a sadistic male prostite (Gannon).
