Who's been a naughty politician?

While Obama and most of the Democrats were trying to drag the USA into the civilized world by instituting at least basic healthcare for most citizens, the Republicans were elsewhere.

In breaks between describing Obama as a Communist and a Fascist (no, me neither), they were spending party money on… bondage clubs. It's like the Tories!

I do remember reading some report which demonstrated a correlation between the levels and type of pornography downloaded and states' churchgoing (more religious states downloaded more porn), but this is ridiculous!

The report is titled 'Republican red faces'. Red bottoms too, from the sound of it. This from the party of God and family values…

It emerged today that the Republicans spent almost $2,000 last month on a visit to the club where topless women hang from nets on the ceiling and simulate sex in a glass case.

The Los Angeles Times, in a review of the club soon after its opening in October last year, described it as being modelled on sex scenes in the Stanley Kubrick film Eyes Wide Shut.

"There is also a heavy net suspended above the club's lounge area where performers writhe above the heads of clubgoers. Even more provocative scenes are played out in an enclosed glass booth area adjacent to the club's dancefloor area," the paper said.

A reviewer for the Yelp website wrote: "At one point I walked to the bathroom and pretty much just stopped dead in my tracks to watch two girls simulating oral sex in a glass case."
