Cowardly Rob Cowles, another of the "family values" Republican senators with a dirty secret (can you say "randy Randy Hopper"?) is up for recall. Like the other six Wisconsin Republicans being recalled, he voted for
The amendment is so brazen that Scott Walker said he might veto it (proof's in the pudding, though...).
We Are Wisconsin released a press statement reminding us all of a Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel story three years ago that reported
...Cowles had more than $50,000 invested in two companies — Rick’s Cabaret International and VCG Holding — that operate numerous upscale strip clubs throughout the United States. Under state law, Wisconsin officials have to disclose only whether their investments are above or below $50,000.
Along with owning 15 strip clubs, Rick’s Cabaret also runs an extensive number of erotic Web sites, holds an annual Gentleman’s Club Owners Expo and publishes several magazines, including TEEZE and Exotic Dancer.
The firm’s Web sites include names such as “coupletouch,” a site for swingers to meet one another; “naughtybids,” an online auction site for all things porn, such as one-on-one stripping shows and props used by porn stars in their films; and “xxxpassword,” which gives subscribers entry to unlimited porn sites for $39.95 a month.Kelly Steele, We Are Wisconsin spokesperson, can be excused for a little self-righteousness. She said
The voters in Rob Cowles’ district can decide whether or not they approve of a politician who talks about ‘family values’ while investing heavily in strip clubs, XXX movie peddlers, and online hardcore pornography – but Cowles’ attempt to hide that data from the public is truly disgraceful.Now if you live in Wisconsin, and especially if you live in Cowles' district (Green Bay and environs), remember this name: Nancy Nusbaum. She's the real Democrat challenging Cowles. A fake Democrat is running, too, Otto Junkerman, an 82-year-old Republican who's trying to cause trouble for the Democrats at taxpayers' expense. Do what you can to help out Nancy! We're pretty sure she doesn't have $100,000 invested in pornographic enterprises.
