Mayoral Candidate Resorts to Erotica (NYC Democrat to have go-go dancers at fundraiser)

With his campaign for city council going no place fast, Victor Bernace felt he needed something special to spark interest in his next fund-raiser. How about exotic dancers?

The New York Democrat said Saturday he plans to have bikini-clad go-go dancers and men in nothing but briefs at a "Havana Night" campaign party next month at a Manhattan nightclub.

There will be no nudity at the $20-per-head event, Bernace said, but he promised "a sexy, erotic show."

"I'm throwing a fun event. Most politicians — I've been to their fund-raisers, and they are boring," he said. "People can go with a standard politician who will disappear into the woodwork. I'm trying to be part of the next generation."

Bernace, a Harvard-trained lawyer who makes a living representing cab drivers, is trying for the third time to unseat an incumbent in a working-class district in northern Manhattan.

Asked if he thought a risque event might offend some voters, Bernace said he wasn't concerned and suggested the event might help get young men interested in politics.

"I'm not running for mayor in a small, old-time religious town in Utah. I'm running in New York City," he said. "I might as well try to energize a different base."

I'm guessing that BJ Klintoon will be there with all the dollar bills he can carry!

Wouldn't you know?

Maybe. But most people get a life, that evades some.

The title says he is running for NYC Mayor, and the first line in the article says he is running for city council. Newsmax needs to get its act together!

I first I heard about this was on WABC radio. The ironic thing about it, was that it was reported on the news segment of the Sunday morning show, Religion On The Line.

When I hear the Dems are having a "Havana Night", I think that a bearded man in fatigues is going to take your wallet and anything else you have of value. The decor will be signs saying "Viva La Revolucion!" and "Socialismo O Muerte!". If you complain you'll be shot. If you escape your child will be sent back to the party at gunpoint.

Too bad they can no longer just give out Marlboro's a the polls.

This trend will get interesting as it progresses over the next few years.

$20-per-head event

That probably doesn't mean what I think it does...

Going after the young male vote, the same demographic as AlGore's crnt network. I wonder how soon it will be before AlGore resorts to the same thing?

Only if he can keep it a secret from Hillary Rob 'em Klintoon.

[wagglebee]

Like she even cares!

Photos of BJC stuffing $$$ down the nickers of a stripper would be bad PR for her run for Pres is the only reason why that I can think of.
