SHANDAKEN -- Under fire from both the right and the left, the Republican Club is investigating how and why it spent nearly $2,000 for "meals" at a bondage-themed strip club in near New Paltz featuring topless dancers simulating lesbian sex.
The Republicans confirmed Monday that it reimbursed a Shandaken member for $1,946 spent at The Bleu Moon, a high-end bar/lounge that's described on one Web site as "classic slutty" where "you might not be completely shocked at the almost naked women writhing on each other, but you will undoubtedly be in awe."
"It was obviously improper for more than one reason," said a party spokesman John Horney. "It was not a sanctioned SRC activity. It was improper because of the venue." He denied knowing if any club members were dancers or patrons.

As women we find the very idea of officials from either party approving of endeavors that objectify and demean women outrageous. This kind of behavior is not appropriate for leaders that our children should be able to look up to as role models, and that our daughters could be working for. Did you really swill drinks, ogle young girls, and plan party business at this kind of establishment? Please explain!
