The Girls on Trapeze Vote

In case you were wondering what's gone wrong with our political system, this is the answer. From a story about how some of the parties at the RNC got kind of "risque":

Girls in bikinis on trapezes? Then the Democrats must have had Girls Jumping on Trampolines, right?


Democrats at their convention in Boston in July were sedate by comparison, reaching a low level of excitement when Sen. John Breaux (D-La.) started a conga line at a Caribbean-themed party.



This is vastly depressing. If we're not the party of immorality and the senseless exploitation of women, who are we?
