At Home in the Halls of Power

Just As I Suspected

After observing some Young Republicans in their mating ritual this weekend, I predicted that the only action these fellows would get would be that which they paid for. Today the Village Voice (via Gawker) seems to confirm this with an ongoing blog from a waitress at a NY strip club. She writes:

When I returned with an answer, his indignation had subsided. "Why aren't you up there dancing?" he asked me, gesturing to the woman gyrating. (On the list of questions frequently asked of a strip-club waitress, this one is rivaled only by "Can we see some girls over here?") "Listen," he said, his already thick drawl slurred by alcohol. "I like buying beautiful women expensive clothes. I like taking them out to any restaurant in town." He went on, detailing his gentlemanly ways, for some time. I noticed he had a red, white, and blue ribbon pinned to his lapel.

Then he said, "I like playing with two girls at once--but that's not a requirement. If I wanted to pay for a girl to spend the night with me, I could." He wrote his cell phone number on the back of a business card. "But that makes me uncomfortable." He handed me the card. I saw the name of an energy firm.

But I'm not making my final judgement. I've secured an invitation to a very exclusive, Republicans-only, roof-top singles soiree through my account at theh dating service ConservativeMatch.com, a gathering place for "sweet hearts, not bleeding hearts." (I use the site for research purposes only, naturally).

I'll file a full report.
