Night in topless bar becomes embarrassment for Oregon GOP lawmakers
http://www.oregonlive.com/politics/index.ssf/2012/08/night_in_topless_bar_becomes_e.html#incart_river_default
<snip> SALEM -- With Republicans still reeling from the sex scandal involving Rep. Matt Wingard and a young female staffer, former House Republican Leader Kevin Cameron confirmed he abruptly stepped down last month, in part, because of a retaliatory threat that the public would find out about the night he and other GOP lawmakers -- including Wingard -- spent at a California topless bar. "I am not proud personally about what I did at that point in time," Cameron, R-Salem, told The Oregonian this week. In January, Cameron, House Co-Speaker Bruce Hanna and five other Republican House members took a three-day golfing vacation to Palm Springs, where they also visited a bar featuring topless dancers. No state or campaign money was spent on the trip. But the embarrassing details are surfacing just as Republicans are trying to win majority control of the House, or at least maintain the 30-30 tie that granted them equal power to Democrats in the past two years. </snip> There's a lot more frivolity at the link. ![]()

1. I'm sure they looked repulsive dancing without shirts.
I'll bet the women weren't too bad, though.

2. The family values crowd.
Republicans in Oregon are a joke. And they work very hard to prove it.

4. Who financed the vacation? I could care less about the topless bar.
Seven GOP legislators from the state house go to Palm Springs on a golfing junket, hit a titty bar, and that's all there is to the story? I don't think so.

5. Personally, I think women should have the same write as men to walk around topless.
Women have tits. Face it.

18. Yeah, and increasingly so with age.
![]() I was sitting out shirtless in a canvass stadium chair (not great posture) and my "man boobs" left a white horizontal tan stripe that's STILL there!!! I don't see why our society is so uptight about nudity. Everybody's got a butt. Everybody's got nipples, and everybody has naughty bits that come in two varieties. Sure there's the "sexual attraction" part, but it might be less of a problem if people just got used to nudity being normal! |

9. Wingard was the one that smacked his kid
It was just a matter of time before he did something equally as stupid which could be proven.

20. Just wait until Tampa!
Florida Dems, you need to have a plan to observe and chronicle the number of delegates, candidates, and GOP staff who crowd the clubs in Tampa, and to get that information out in real time.
You have the chance to end hundreds of evil, self-serving political careers before they start, because there will be aspiring Presidential and Congressional candidates in those crowds. It is too bad we cannot fit some of the entertainers with "stripper cams," but I don't know how one would hide them. |

22. After this, most of them will be too cautious to hit the clubs
Most of the sleezy stuff will be happening in their private suites. But you're on to something... maybe some brave souls could pose as hookers (both female and male).

21. You can't blame them
for hightailing their Oregon grapes down to CA for a little fun.
If they'd tried to expose them here, they'd have turned themselves into raisins; it's too cold. |
