You probably can't afford the $10K to $25K you need to buy yourself a spot at Sarah Palin's Illinois GOP fundraiser (don't worry, Mark Kirk seems to be in the same boat). But if you can spare $20, you can, instead, buy yourself a night of fun at the Admiral Theater, who is hosting a Sarah Palin-lookalike stripper contest in honor of our fair former Vice Presidential candidate.
We don't really get the whole Sarah Palin fetish
that's popped up on the national scene since she first joined the
McCain ticket in the last election, but if the whole math-teacher look
gets you off, you'll now have a tough decision to make come May 12: Not
only is Palin speaking at the Rosemont Theatre that day
in the flesh, but the Admiral Theatre is hosting a Palin lookalike
contest on the same day. A $5,000 cash prize awaits the chosen
MILF-like maverick...
Apparently, this is not just some run-of-the-mill Palin-themed stripper-palooza, its being run by the man who invented the Sarah Palin-lookalike stripper franchise. And lest you think this is just designed to mock the former Alaskan governor, the Admiral has cordially invited Sarah Palin herself to serve as the main judge. And its for a good cause, too: a portion of ticket sales go directly to your local Tea Party.
I'm not sure how I feel about this, personally. I tend to think conservatives should incorporate hot chicks more fully into their marketing strategy, since its a sure-fire way to capture the attention of the 16-29 year old male voter. Whether that hot chick has to be Sarah Palin...there's an argument to be made that objectifying powerful women - even attractive powerful women like Palin - is demeaning to women as a whole and sends a message to the next generation that sexism will never be fully a thing of the past.
Of course, if anyone should be honored, its probably Tina Fey.
