Pete Sessions Digs Strip Joints

|

Only, because he’s Pete Sessions, he calls the one in question a “burlesque show.” An alert FBvian points us to the Marketplace report on PACs in which Sessions makes the distinction about a Las Vegas joint called Kane’s Forty Deuce, where he spent $5,000 in March. Excuse me. His PAC spent the money there.

Listen, I don’t have any problem with the terpsichorean arts — with the establishments that host them or the patrons who enjoy them. I’ve darkened the door of some of the best and worst strip joints in Dallas (it’s called research).

The thing I don’t dig is hypocrisy. Oh, yeah. And PACs. That stuff doesn’t seem right either.
