RAW has excerpts:

Since cut n' paste doesn't seem to work on RAW - I'll give you a synopsis.

Piece is titled GOP does Gotham

Salon columnist Petra Bartosiewicz follows Texas oil lobbyist Harold B. Green to a party. He tells her "I told you no bra, no panties."

Brags he's slept with 50 young women in last 5 years.

At a bowling party for Dreier a blonde in a fishnet body stocking hung from the ceiling on a turquoise scarf.

1. The Village Voice ran a blog from a strip club waitress

during the convention. It was hilarious. They're pervs, no class, and very bad tippers.

Contrast that with the word out of Boston, that the strip clubs were deserted during the DNC...

2. Does anyone else have this problem when viewing this site?

When I click on the site, it comes up and I can easily read the article. However after a few seconds the black left sidebar overlays the article. Is it possible to get rid of this?

Thanks. Fran

Edited to add, now why didn't they put this out before the election.

4. Here's an interesting snippet (copied to notepad first to cut/paste)

The clamor of parties, booze and buffets, Bartosiewicz says, made her sick – a group that made “a perfect living joke of “family values” (though faithfully attending prayer breakfasts in the morning).”

Though congressmen and elected officials are mostly absent, the parties she visits are a ribald display of prurient excess.

“At a bowling party for California Congressman David Dreier… a blonde in a fishnet body stocking hung from the ceiling on a turquoise scarf, twirling and contorting,” she notes. “Two nights later, at a honky-tonk salute to Texas Congressman Joe Barton, chairman of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce… a little girl rode an electric bucking bull in an inflatable farm pen, and 20-foot black cowboy boots decorated in purple and gold stood over the room.”
