The Lord is My Wingman

Missouri’s Republican lieutenant governor Peter Kinder, recently photographed at a family establishment where “Every night’s a pantless party!”, would like you to know that he was really doing God’s Work:

In his first interview on the topic, Kinder, a Republican from Cape Girardeau who is widely expected to run for governor next year, said he first visited Diamond Cabaret in Sauget after a baseball game in St. Louis when he was a state senator in the mid-1990s. After that, he said, he returned about 10 times. He said he saw [Tammy] Chapman, a former Penthouse Magazine model who worked there as a dancer.

Kinder said he stopped visiting the 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.”

Mr. Kinder was born in 1954, which would make his Peter in its forties when he visited the strip joint ten times before The Lord informed him that Jesus would keep it zipped.

Does it somehow make it better that his first visit was after a baseball game? “Well, I was bummed because the Cards lost, I was looking for the exit, next thing I knew this girl’s boobs were in my face.”

I believe W established that any peccadillo committed before age 49 as a “youthful indiscretion.”

It took him awhile to realize his righteous staff had turned into a snake–with a stupid grin on its face.

BATS! Four, I think, kiting above the lawn. Refugees of the great plague that has decimated the local population. We love bats. I want to bring them here to shelter in our trees, offer aspirin and hot lemon drinks to get them well.

If a bat gets in your bedroom and it isn’t Kellan Lutz, open the windows, turn off the lights, and leave the room. If it is Kellan Lutz offer nearest vein. If vein is hard and throbbing – it’s all good.
