The headline: '07 party hosted by Rep. Pete Sessions at Las Vegas adult club draws criticism. Is the liberal media picking on another Republican again for being a hypocrite?
As long as you don’t see the privates, a woman’s body is to be appreciated, even if it objectifies her sexy body and is presented in an artful strip tease way. So what could be more family values than that?
Dallas Morning News reports that “a political party hosted by Rep. Pete Sessions at a Las Vegas adult club has jaws dropping implications (for the man who was so outraged at the Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction.)
The event, in March 2007 at a club called Forty Deuce, raised money for the Dallas Republican's political action committee, People for Enterprise Trade and Economic Growth.
Aides to Mr. Sessions, a self-described conservative, and others said the act was a mild burlesque show, but some conservative activists were aghast that the event was held at an adult club. "What's the difference?" asked Cathie Adams, president of the Texas Eagle Forum. "I don't think that it's representative of the constituents of the district. I'm in shock." The Forty Deuce is a popular Mandalay Bay spot that features elaborate costumes, but dancers do eventually strip to near nudity.

Democrats were happy to pile on the congressman. Darlene Ewing, chairwoman of the Dallas County Democratic Party said, "I thought they were the party of family values, but they are having fundraisers at burlesque shows."
