Dems Demand Explanation from Peter Kinder

• Imagine if Kinder were a Black democrat. It would then be racist to criticize him for liking girls.

• I think this entire Kinder story will blow over.  Bill, you may not agree or like or approve of what other people post, but at this point, I cannot see how you referring to people as assholes or the "hang them" comment is any better than what they originally said.  If you find people's comments offensive,  then you should rise above them not join them.

• Somebody take Greg out and hang him.

• Chad or Sarah, can something be done about deleting these asshole posts?!

• I tend to side with Kinder, but God, this post is really a vicious lie.

• She looks like Valdemort with lipstick on.  

• Didn't she sit on his lap about 20 years ago????  I'm guessing he went into the bar,  recognized her now saggy boobs and funky crotch, and said "hey, I remember you, how are ya:",  gave the courtesy hug and someone snapped a picture.    I find it hard to believe that given her previous profession,  out of the thousands of men who gave her money to sit on their lap,  she remembered that this one person did whatever.   Sorry but when you go from someone who put their puss out there for everyone to look at on a daily basis for money and in a magazine to a bartender who looks like a man,   perhaps a lack of self esteem or lack of good judgement has clouded her memory.

• Sonia; if there is no conspiring here, how did the RFT get the pictures?

• The fact that Kinder is trying to say this is a political conspiracy against him is probably THE most ridiculous part of the story, which is ridiculous to begin with.

• Are the Republicans/Tea Baggers so desperate to defeat Jay Nixon that they want to cover up a story of a dude that likes titty clubs and titty dancers? What the fuck is so wrong with a little titty club action that would make soccer moms and right-to-lifers vote against a club patron? I fail to see the indignation and outrage over some damn titties.

• So all it takes is one bartender to snap a photo with a politician and then tell a story that makes him look bad to get into the media?   I hope Mervin's or wherever she works gives her a raise, cause this riduculous story is gettin them all sorts of business.  I mean, who doesn't want to find out what a "pantless party" is all about?  

• "Really, the only reason any of this came to light is because RFT readers are such barflies, they almost immediately recognized the bar -- and the bartender. The GOP may want to claim this was an organized effort, but it looks a whole lot more like that new-fangled "crowd sourcing" thing to us" It was me - Henry Wadsworth Longhurl (HWL) that enlightened the RFT on the identity of Tammy Chapman, thus allowing you muckrakers to hand out dozens of additional free papers. UP STLGAC!!!

• The key word being "if he did", Craig. Do we have any evidence at all that this woman's claims are at all true? All we know is a single man went into a bar and hd his picture taken with a woman, and that picture, through some means, wound up in the hands of a reporter for a liberal publication. Those are the only provable facts in this whole story. Are the Democrats really THIS desperate for Jay Nixon to keep his job??!

• You're right! Even so, I believe that would qualify as a 'big deal'

• By the way, whoever shooped that graphic deserves some recognition. Nice work.

• [citation needed]

• He's just like you and me; he wakes up in the morning and puts on one diamond-studded cockring at a time.

• Need to point out that his condo is paid by his campaign and not taxpayers. Still doesn't explain his questionably-lavish taxpayer-funded non-state-business hotel stays, meals and tips.

• Now who's telling tales out of school?

• That is the big deal. AFAIK libs/dems/etc. don't really care about his personal life. If he did offer to put her up in a *taxpayer-funded condo it is indeed a 'big deal', though. *EDIT: campaign-funded

• Funniest part to me is this: if dude was a Democrat running for office he could say "hells yea I was all up in the titty clubs, so what's the damn problem?"  But dude is a Republican/Tea Party guy so he must deny the VIP Room rumors and threaten to sue if in-state media don't cock block the story. Life's a bitch.

• What is he supposed to explain exactly? "I'm a single guy that likes hanging out at bars and talking to women."  Who cares?!

• Google Tammy Chapman STL and you find that she is listed as living with a Democrat who ran against Jim Talent.

• I think Kinder is smart not to reply. He would also be smart not to sue either. All he is up against now are tales told out of school by a stripper/bartender. If he lets this go, it will go away.

• If Tammy Chapman's former life as a Penthouse Pet and her lap-dancing saga with Kinder should remind us of anything, it's that the most important cultural innovation of the 1990s was, indeed, a shaved pussy. 

• Hate to say it but I'm not familiar with Kinder. With that being said, if he is single and she is over 18, who really cares.  It doesn't seems like a weiner-gate, clinton/blue dress, or wu incident to me. Besides his condo being paid for by his campaign,  I just don't get what the big deal is.
