OK. So who are we to say if eating at Hooters is wrong? To dust off the shopworn stripper defense, we’re sure it’s put a bunch of nice girls through college. Even so, if you’re a self-professed Christian Taliban like Sen. Dan Patrick, you’ve got to be entering somewhat of a gray area. That’s a little odd of him to eat there, right? But honestly, the most disturbing thing about this incognito camera-phone snap of Patrick getting his wing on, sent in to Houston’s ABC13.com, is the defense he’s mounted: that he was eating there with his son and – wait for it – his future daughter-in-law. At least he kept the family-values thing consistent.
Your tax dollars at work. How many days until this session’s over and Patrick – hopefully – never comes back again? (Via PinkDome.)
