St Louis Strip Clubs: Eleven in ‘11: Top local political stories of the year

Posted in St Louis strip clubs at 3:48 pm by strippertease

Kinder’s unkind year. Look no further than Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder for the top Missouri political story of 2011. The Republican’s presumptive nominee for governor had the wind at his back to start the year: a strong Republican showing in the 2010 midterm election foretold good things for his chances against Gov. Jay Nixon. But first came the revelations that Kinder, who once ran on the slogan “Every Dollar Counts,” charged taxpayers for hundreds of nights at St. Louis area hotels while he attended Tea Party rallies, a wedding and sporting events. After Kinder repaid the state $54,000 for his travel costs, he was forced to answer questions about his previous affinity for visiting a Sauget strip club. Kinder pulled the plug on his aspirations for governor days before a planned announcement in his hometown of Cape Girardau last month. During one round of damage control, Kinder used a line from a Dean Martin song to explain his “romantic attraction” to a dancer that he favored. He likely won’t be using another Rat Pack classic to describe his 2011 — for Kinder, it wasn’t a very good year.

St Louis Strip Clubs: WHAT OTHERS SAY: Gifts Missouri politicans should return

Posted in St Louis strip clubs at 3:00 am by strippertease

Peter Kinder: Missouri’s Republican lieutenant governor was the gift that kept on giving this year. He left his keys in the his car and two hoodlums stole it, set it on fire and rammed it into an ammo shop.
He was caught having spent tens of thousands of taxpayer dollars on fancy hotel rooms in St. Louis when he really wasn’t on state business. That was a wound to his political fortunes, but not as grievous a wound as his admission that as a state senator he frequented East St. Louis strip clubs, and that he just happened to have been photographed with his favorite former dancer while having a glass of wine one afternoon at a South St. Louis “pantsless” bar he blundered into while looking for a bathroom.

_ Police searched for Kansas City toddler Lisa Irwin, who went missing in early October. Her parents claimed someone snatched the baby in the middle of the night.

… We’re about two years overdue,” Bradley said.
Bradley said that he would like to open shelters in Atlanta, Miami and Orange County, Calif. The St. Louis shelter would accommodate victims from all over Missouri, he said.

When a Joltran technician began disconnecting the phone, a familiar scenario ensued.
“A young lady came out and begged him not to take the phone out. She lived right across the street and said she had a sick child and this was her only communication with a doctor,” Nesselhauf said. “All of our techs can tell you heartbreaking stories like that, where people come out of their houses saying, ‘Please don’t take my phone away!’”
