The Forty Deuce dancers flipped when they found out Pete Sessions was in the house.
So, Rep. Pete Sessions decided it would be a good idea to hold a fundraiser back in 2007 at a Las Vegas burlesque club known as Forty Deuce (possibly NSFW), and is now catching flak from both sides of the aisle for his lack of good judgment. Some Republicans are "in shock" while some Democrats are more than happy to point out the irony of a member of a party that touts family values putting on a fundraiser in a place that's less than family friendly.

The Trains at NorthPark Oh, no! Godzilla got into the Northpark train exhibit! But don't worry, the engineers will have it back up and running in time for your mall visit. And now, BEFORE the big holiday rush, is the best time to see them, before hundreds of drooling children take over the enclosure after Thanksgiving. More info

Some Congressmen don't understand the word "hypocrisy". Maybe he can join Larry Craig and David Vitter's family values club. And then take a ride in some of Ted Stevens' free cars.

The place is owned by Jay-Z, too. Not that I have anything against Jay-Z, but Sessions has been known to rant and rail against the "wardrobe malfunction" that is part of the liberal agenda.
Jay has made no secret is his past dealing drugs and I'm sure there's been at least one "wardrobe malfunction" at the Forty Deuce.
Just another in a long line of hypocritical Republicans not practicing what the preach.

ROFLMAO! I love hypocrisy... and with these folks, there's a never-ending stream of it.

For the record, Pegasus News' incorporation fees were won in a poker game at a local "burlesque" club. And there's no hypocrisy in that.

Not sure how anyone could concentrate on poker at that game, Mike.

Just another example why the Republican machine needs to be replaced in this country. For a party that talks about smaller government and values, they're really screwed us over the past 14 years...
