Ah, Peter Kinder. The Republican Lt. Gov. and likely (still?) gubernatorial challenger to Gov. Jay Nixon is doing what he does best: Making things worse for himself. To wit:
Hoping to curb what has become a growing distraction to his political ambitions, Missouri Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder today talked more about his strip-club visits and how he came to be photographed with a stripper he knew. [...]
Kinder said he stopped visiting the [strip] club after he concluded that it contradicted his religious beliefs.
"I came to realize that this is not consistent with my upbringing. I'm a Christian," he said. "I was raised in a good family, and I thought, you know, continuing to go there is leading me down the wrong path."
Kinder said he saw Chapman again earlier this year when he stopped at the bar she was working at to use the bathroom. He said he ordered a glass of wine and recognized her when she asked him to pose for a photograph. [...]
The recent photo of them together was taken at Verlin's, a bar in the city's Grove neighborhood where the female wait staff's limited attire is advertised as a "pantless party."
Happens to me All. The. Time. I'm driving down the highway, I realize I need to take a leak, so of course I stop in at a raunchy bar, and then once I'm there, I realize I'm thirsty, too. And that I'm at a clothing-optional party, but that wasn't my fault, right? And hey, look, old friends! I can't be the only one this happens to. In fact, I know I'm not, since it happened to Peter Kinder, too!
And I'm sure the same goes for the rest of you. So, take the poll and tell us: Why did you wind up at that last pantless party?
