What is it with Republicans and sex clubs?

You can see why Mitt thought this would be
the perfect meeting place.
(Facebook) For a party that hates sex and people having sex and people enjoying sex and the parts of the body you use for sex, Republicans sure do have meetings in interesting places:

The Romney campaign held a meeting at a racy Arizona night club that boasts a "specialty champagne bar in the co-ed bathroom," according to the campaigns latest filing with the Federal Elections Commission.

Well, gosh. A racy "night club"? That's a heck of a place for a meeting, isn't it? Especially for a squeaky clean Mormon who doesn't even drink caffeinated soda, which really makes you wonder how the campaign managed to spend $385.24 at The Mint Restaurant and Ultra Lounge. Presumably, it wasn't on the $13 Dirty Money martini.

This "night club" offers a number of VIP services, so its appeal to Mr. 1 Percent isn't completely irrational. Of course his campaign would want to hold a meeting in an establishment that offers a "private dining room, complete with en suite bathroom"'and, oh yeah, "models/dancers/showgirls."

Best of all, though, has to be the champagne bar in the unisex bathroom. (Unisex bathroom? Oh heavens, what would Phyllis Schlafly say?) Because nothing says presidential like a champagne bar next to a toilet. No doubt, if Romney is elected, that will be the first update to the White House.

Of course, Romney's $385.24 "meeting" in this "night club" pales in comparison to the far more interesting $1,946.25 spent by the Republican National Committee in 2010 at "Voyeur West Hollywood, a bondage-themed nightclub featuring topless women dancers imitating lesbian sex."

Apparently, it's just so much easier for Republicans to talk about family values when surrounded by naked dancers and booze.

P.S. The Romney campaign's response?

When asked to comment, Romney campaign spokeswoman Andrea Saul told The Huffington Post, "Campaign staffers having dinner is hardly news.'

Yeah. Okay.
