Post-Dispatch political scribe Tony Messenger has an interesting column today on state senator Matt Bartle (R - Kansas City) and his bill that would ban nudity and alcohol from Missouri's strip clubs. Bartle has proposed similar legislation the past eight years without the bill ever getting passed into law. This year Bartle's bill passed the Senate way back in February but remains stalled in the House. With the legislative session scheduled to end Friday, the odds are good that Bartle's bill won't become law this year, either. Says Bartle of his fellow Republicans in the House who've been less than eager to pass his bill: "We shroud ourselves in family values, and yet, when we're in charge of the process, we can't get a bill through." more-- http://blogs.riverfronttimes.com/da...epublicans_wont_back_his_anti-nudity_bill.php
He must own or have associates who own strip clubs over the border in the states next to Missouri. How do you know when a Politician is lying? His lips are moving.
Yep. Jack Abramoff was lobbying for Indians and their casinos in Oklahoma and Louisiana (I think) while lobbying against Indian casinos in Texas.
I'd give 50-50 odds that Bartle will be caught tapping his foot rapidly in a public bathroom stall before long. In other words, methinks the good Senator doth protest too much.
