99 percent of politics in this country is just a big circle jerk, with a bunch of former Poli Sci majors sucking each other’s dicks around a bonfire built on tax dollars. But every so often, a true patriot comes along and stands up for the issues that really matter. Kenny Havard is that red-blooded American hero.
During a debate in the Louisiana House of Representatives about a bill that would ban strip clubs from hiring dancers younger than 21, Havard submitted an amendment that would also require strippers in the Pelican State to be no older than 28, and no heavier than 160 pounds.
Unfortunately, the amendment was struck down after several of the female representatives were offended by it.
From The Advocate:
As the bill was being presented, Havard—saying he wanted to “trim the fat”—offered his amendment. He withdrew the amendment after another lawmaker called it offensive.
But Havard didn’t apologize and said he doesn’t regret his joke.
“No, it was meant as a poke that we’re over-regulating everything around here,” he said in an interview. “It was aimed at both men and women. I can’t strip either. I’m a little overweight.”During debate on SB468, other legislators made light of the situation by throwing single dollar bills on a table next to the podium.
Joke or not, I stand with Havard. This is a man who knows how disappointing it is to watch a stripper that looks like a sad, droopy weather balloon try to gyrate up a pole. He’s felt the soul-crushing shame of sticking a couple dollars in there anyway, because you’ve already been to the ATM, and what else are you going to do with forty singles? Rep. Havard is exactly what the founding fathers dreamed of when they invented Democracy: he’s truly a man of the people.
Thank you for trying to protect a little common decency in our gentleman’s clubs, Kenny. First dance is on me..

Finally a congressman with a platform I could get behind.
Hes not a Congressman, He is a State Rep. There is a big difference.
On that note I still agree with his legislative agenda
And we could use the fat chicks as the platforms
My Uncle Joseph just got a new yellow Infiniti QX60 Hybrid just by some part-time working online with a macbook.

The hero we don’t deserve but the hero we need
Louisiana finally has something going for it other than New Orleans
And Les Miles
I like private dances from 40 year old strippers. They know they’re not going to have a lot of buyers so they have to get down and dirty to make a few extra bucks. They’re not much to look at but they work harder.
How long did you work on that first sentence?
Clearly racist
But black guys in Louisiana are the majority of the clientele. Side note where do you apply for the state job to weigh strippers?
Not true. In the high end strip clubs you have hardly no blacks. Like ricks Cabaret on bourbon. You do have your occasional pro ball player with friends.
“You have hardly no blacks.” Definitely a proud product of the Louisiana public school system.
This man knows his strippers
how have you not been blackballed yet
