Will the GOP hold any more fundraisers in venues that house Scantily clad 'working women'?

Background: Rep. Pete Sessions (R-Texas), is the fundraiser in chief for House Republicans whose leadership role is to recruit GOP candidates to help win back the House.

Sessions held a fundraiser in February at a racy venue in Las Vegas whose Web site features come-hither looking women scantily clad in lingerie slithering all over each other.

The establishment - the Tao nightclub and restaurant on the Strip - isn't as risqué as the fundraiser Sessions held last year at the Forty Deuce burlesque club in Vegas. Still, Tao isn't exactly a paradigm of conservative family values.

Republicans point out the NRCC chairman's fundraiser was held at the Tao restaurant, not the Tao nightclub. (Never mind that the two are under the same roof, as the night spot's Web site proudly proclaims.)

The Web site also boasts: "Tao Las Vegas is frequented by celebrities on a regular basis, such as Paris Hilton, Jessica Simpson, Tommy Lee, Britney Spears, Jamie Foxx, Janet Jackson, Bono and Madonna."

Democrats argue Sessions's fundraiser is the height of hypocrisy.

Ryan Rudominer, a spokesman for the DCCC, the NRCC's counterpart, says, "With no new ideas, and no new strategy, it's no surprise that Sessions and the out of touch Republican leadership would rather party at Las Vegas night clubs and a Brittany Spears concert than offer real solutions to the serious economic challenges facing our country."

So, will the Party of 'Family Values' par-tay down at yet another venue like this before Halloween 2010?

Qualifications for a YES would be that somewhere in the same building as the fundraiser there must be strippers or scantily clad women rubbing themselves on other people.
