GOP Strippergate:
Why is Pete Sessions getting a pass?

Pete Sessions

Republican National Committee Chair, Michael Steele, is struggling to hold his job after it was learned that the RNC paid almost $2000 to a Los Angeles adult-themed club. (Source: Washington Post, March 29, 2010) At the same time, no one is pressuring National Republican Congressional Committee Chairman Pete Sessions to resign or even fully explain his fundraising at Las Vegas strip clubs. Sessions has held at least two fundraisers at adult-themed clubs and made no apologies.

Pete Sessions has never hesitated to spout moral platitudes when it serves his political purposes (Source: Family Research Council, 2008 "True Blue Award Winner") He also doesn’t mind stepping off his moral high horse to raise money using a sexually charged atmosphere featuring near-naked women as a lure for political money.

Any Republican upset with Michael Steele should be outraged by Pete Sessions. Click the link below to view a video detailing the Sessions/Steele double standard.
