Looking at this man it is hard to believe that he was ever in a strip club much less was getting a lap dance from a stripper. What I think happened is he went to the strip club with his partner or boss and decided while he was waiting to talk to his client passed the time getting a lap dance. It is not illegal to get a lap dance at a strip club. If it was there would be a lot of men and women sitting in jail.
In this case IOKIYAD.
What was the mistake in this case? I’m not seeing any.
Paul Davis is running for governor, he’ll be beating Brownback.
You’re giving Sudden Sam WAY too much credit!
This is the best Brownhack and the GOTP has got? The guy was in a strip club in the previous CENTURY?
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!
I like a guy who knows how to relax.
Being present in a strip club in a private room with a stripper is not generally a nugget in a future candidate’s past that candidate would want dredged up in the heat of a campaign for office. A lot of voters would be turned off by that sort of perceived behavior. While no law may have been broken it would still be seen as unseemly behavior and voters may be turned off by it.
A candidate’s past has been used many times to attack, rather unfairly, by political opponents.
Here’s an example of what I mean. When Andrew Jackson was running for President his opponent attacked Jackson with a salacious charge. That he had married his beloved wife before she had been divorced from he previous husband. The charge so disturbed Rachael Jackson that it may have contributed to her fatal heart attack:

At the time a lot of people would be turned off by a charge of adultery.
Pole dancing is more ethical than poll dancing…
Wives of TeaXians are the reason bedroom ceiling’s are replaced frequently.
and no, quick-release OhGodOhGodOGod Sam wasn’t praying…
this is the type of crap you get when you have 24hr news cycles and internet blogs looking for content. next story, “x” politician hit a girl when he was in grade school…sad, very sad
Being in a strip club as a young single guy 16 years ago is something that would turn off people, and that everyone considering potentially running for office at any point in their future should avoid? Because I guarantee that virtually all male candidates and officeholders have been there (and many of them still are). It’s a little different from adultery a la Sanford or Spitzer. I know conservatives are stuck in the past, but I would hope that they’ve moved on from 1828.
This is all Brownback has to counter his destroying the employment situation in Kansas with huge tax cuts for corporations and the wealth? Sex in the City 16 years ago? Anyone under the age of 65 in KS must be ROTFLOL.
Since many in KS can’t find any decent job courtesy of Brownback and the GOP’s economic and taxing policies, I bet a lot of them are looking for ways to waste time till a Democrat can get back into office and clean up yet another Republican debacle.
Come to think of it, the first time I went to a strip joint my boss took me there.
The club was operating legally. No charges were filed against him. No drugs were found. What “mistake” did Davis make?
If that’s what you think this is about, you really need to buy a clue. I’ll even spot you the money.
Gotta’ love the overpass X rated bookstores, that line almost every major highway from Florida, all the way across the Midwest, Texas and so on.
The only way he will lose is if he’s caught sleeping with Brownback, the poster boy for regressive New Deal deconstruction ideology.
Seriously ??? OK GOTPers.
Tell me the law that he broke? Oh no law… It’s your morals that you put on to others.
OK. I guess I also will never be allowed to hold public office.
Hold on to your hat. I visited many a strip club in my 20’s. I wasn’t married or engaged. None of your business how I live my life as long as it is ;legal.
Get over yourselves bible Thumpers !!!
In Kansas City, eye rolls would be the least of their problems. Put this into an ad, run it in KC and watch brownback drop even MORE in the polls!
