The campaign of Rep. Paul Davis is falling apart because a backwater Sheriff saw him getting a lap dance at a sleazy strip club almost 20 years ago.
They myth here is that Rep. Paul Davis really had a shot to beat Gov. Brownback - Which was never the case. But let's not spoil the media game play fun just yet . . .
To wit . . .
CHECK THE TOP 5 REAX TO THE REP. PAUL DAVIS FAUX SCANDAL!!!
Dead Tree Media Is Producing Just As Much Tabloid Content As Entertainment Blogs
Local media is shutting off comments to try and keep the story classy but the fact that they're posting a relatively sexy political hit piece manufactured by some rag in Coffeyville reveals how desperate things are in the newspaper biz.
There Are So Many More Important Things To Dislike About Rep. Paul Davis
He's a middle-of-the-road Democrat NOTHING and an opportunist running on a cursory understanding of the books of Malcolm Gladwell and because at some point he shook hands with the right rich person.
Pious And Catholic Gov. Brownback Is Willing To Play Just As Sleazy And Dirty As Anybody Else
Is there really any doubt this is a political consultant hack job??? The effort is admirable but CLEARLY comes directly from Brownback's camp and this should put his Conservative Catholic credentials in a real world perspective for people who realize that left vs. right politics is mostly for entertainment and distraction from the de facto 70 years of war Americans have endured.
ALSO, THE REPUBLICANS WHO ARE TOUTING THIS FAKE-ASS CONTROVERSY DON'T REALIZE THAT THEY'RE COMING OFF JUST AS SLEAZY WHILE CELEBRATING STRIPPER DEETS!!!
Believe the TKC can discern good sleaze given our enjoyment of KC municipal politics.
Before anybody elected official gets all high and mighty . . . Remember that the public has a low opinion of most journalists and politicians.
By Refusing To Comment At First, Rep. Paul Davis Worsened The Faux Controversy
The major media fumble is the real revelation that Rep. Davis isn't ready for prime time. His Democratic supporters aren't tough enough to take on the GOP and they failed this first controversy.
Rep. Paul Davis Was Always Overrated And Never Really Had A Chance Of Winning
A few New York Times articles and amateur economists everywhere celebrating a flimsy campaign gave this guy a lot of fake credibility. Turns out, his campaign is out-matched by more than a million bucks and even the slightest bit of doubt reveals that his support mostly begins and ends with Barb Shelly @ The Kansas City Star.

A gov. who loves strippers? This actually makes me want to vote for him!
ReplyDeleteAs usual, the local media show why they're local media. Pathetic reporting that's so blatantly interested in trying to cover up a scandal insted of simply doing their jobs. Embarrassing. Read the Politico piece, the rest are a waste.
ReplyDeleteHe was caught with a stripper?
ReplyDeleteHe has my vote.
At least is wasn't a little girl...or a little boy.
It's cool to be conservative
ReplyDeleteWith apologies to "Breaking Bad":

This is what the Republicans got? A lap dance 20 years ago? Talk about grasping at straws. I notice all of their commercials against him and Orman do nothing but draw parallels to them and Obama, trying to get to the low-information Kansas voter. I think it's funny how scared they are of losing. The lap dance is such a step up from Republicans. They usually get caught cheating on their wives with another man.
ReplyDeleteTrue dat, G!
DeleteWell my view about Davis and the strip club is that there's nothing wrong with kinky sex.
ReplyDeleteThis governor should have had some when he was young. Look how ANAL he is TODAY??
Tabloid Kansas City
ReplyDeleteYou know Thomas Eagleton is the only person to run for National office who had the paper work to say he was sane?
ReplyDeleteProblem with our "leaders" today is they never failed or had a rough moment or did a stupid thing.
We know those who protest about such things are usually up to things much more disgusting than enjoying looking at a woman's body.
Like controlling a woman's body.
Davis gets my vote. It shows me that he has some personality.
ReplyDeleteUp until now, he was so bland that he put you to sleep looking at his pic.
Besides, what the fuck did he do? Suck on some chicks titties for a few bucks? What's wrong with that?
Tony why are you accusing the Republicans when you have doe as much to agitate the controversy as anyone?
ReplyDeleteAs a politician if going to a strip club is the worse thing he does while unmarried then He is a saint compared to most his peers. He wasn't breaking any laws so no crime and no foul.
ReplyDeleteI agree with others I'd be inclined to vote for this guy.
Doesn't change one thing for me...I'd still rather have Davis over Brownback for gov
ReplyDeleteSo is this a TKC Sunday feature or something? Strippers and strip clubs?
ReplyDeleteWell, we know he is not gay.
ReplyDeleteHe sounds to me like an old style Democrat: John F. Kennedy type.
A 26-year-old single guy at a strip club 20 years ago? I'm SHOCKED! SHOCKED! I'd wonder what the Republicans think this is going to buy them. After all Yoder went skinny dipping in Israel much more recently, and no one seem to care about that.
ReplyDeleteThis Bible thumping has run it's course.
ReplyDeleteCase Files: How To Make A Bad Situation Worse
ReplyDelete"I smoked marijuana, but I never inhaled." ---- Bill Clinton
"I visited a strip club, but I never enjoyed it." ---- Paul Davis
Former congressman and Louisiana governor Earl Long once said: "You can get away with anything in politics as long as it does not involve a dead girl or a live boy." Of course crazy Earl meant any where except Massachusetts.
ReplyDelete1:15 go down to Missie B's and find some dick to suck you liberal asshole.
ReplyDeleteAnyone that would vote against a guy for going to s strip club is already voting for Brownback. I bet Brownback has been to a strip club! What heterosexual male hasn't? U
ReplyDeleteAt least he's not a nigger politician showing his nigger meat for liberal faggot boys to suck!
ReplyDeleteAw, don't make it racist. It's the republicans who are trashy.
ReplyDeleteThankfully Tony doesn't have a good track record for picking winners. Yay for Davis he's a regular dude. I could care less if he went to a strip club and/or hot a lap dance. I wish he would have just said "Yeah I did. So what." Instead of "wrong place wrong time."
ReplyDeleteLet's think... back in the day Brownback was living with Lou Engle, and The Family, and starting down the Religious Domnionist paths. He's still tight with some of the IHOP people, under a variety of names. Lately he's been on a religious preaching tour sponsored by a group out of Wichita called Culture Shield http://blog.cultureshield.com/tag/neil-mammen/
ReplyDeleteI will say, I care less about an old Strip Club attendance than Brownback's complete desire to make us some kind of religious establishment.
At least he is not a queer, cocksucker.
ReplyDeleteNothing wrong with a lap dance or two.....as long as it's not a fucking Chippendale or MissyB dong monger.
That Yoder yokel .... holy shit.
ReplyDeleteGood Christian, making the pilgrimage of a lifetime to the very lake where Jesus walked on water, and on whose shores he did the loaves-and-fishes miracle, feeding a multitude.
So what does our upstanding Republican, representing the great state of Kansas, do?
He gets fucked up on booze, drops his pants and show 'em his dick.
How does a guy getting a lap dance 20 years ago compare?
Brownback has a few flaws too. Don't let perfect be an enemy of good.
ReplyDeleteHey, it's OK. He's a Democrat. No one expects Democrats to have any morals anyway.
ReplyDeleteJust the R's, right 2:43? Including the ones caught river dancing in airport men's rooms?
ReplyDeleteWhat about Brownbacks Opus Day habitation in Washington D. C.?
