She wouldn’t let us take a picture of her there.
OK, I’m JUST KIDDING about who took the picture, and when
We were just looking for a restaurant in DC last Spring and found a parking place right in front of Hooters.
Sheila was thrilled...LOL

What happens in Vegas doesn't always stay in Vegas - especially if you're the wife of a presidential candidate. Just ask Janet Huckabee, who attended a middleweight prize fight this past weekend in Las Vegas - where she stayed at the Hooters Casino Hotel.
That eye-opening combination - a title bout in Sin City, which celebrates gambling, drinking and all things wild, along with a hospitality chain favoring buxom waitresses in low-cut garb - could potentially shock the armies of evangelical conservative Christians who have made her husband, the former governor of Arkansas, the only remaining GOP opponent to party front-runner John McCain.
But Janet Huckabee, whose husband is also a former Baptist minister, said in a telephone interview Wednesday that her recent brief excursion to root for boxer Jermain Taylor, a longtime friend and fellow Arkansan - and her stay at a hotel that she said wasn't exactly her first choice - was supposed to be a rare respite from the often-brutal presidential campaign trail.
"It's a grueling schedule. ... I had been in Wisconsin and flew to Michigan, and Friday and Saturday I spoke 14 times before the fight," said Janet Huckabee, who called a Chronicle reporter while traveling with her husband in Dallas in response to questions about the trip. "There's little time for anything other than campaigning."
She has made no secret of the family's support for Taylor, the middleweight boxing champ known as the "pride of Arkansas," who had a title bout against Kelly Pavlik in Vegas over the weekend.
But she said she never planned on staying at Hooters for the hot-ticket fight, which also drew such celebrities as Jack Nicholson, Michael Jordan, Eddie Murphy and Sylvester Stallone.

Big deal!
Agreed.
When I see FReepers stating that Hooters is a fine family place, I want to ask them if they would have a problem with their daughters working there.
(”Excuse me. You don’t mind if I stare at your kid’s boobs, do you?”)
I disagree. If a man (and in this case a woman) can go to a Hooter’s and avoid inappropriate thoughts . . . no big deal. You can’t be worried that Huckabee’s wife was prone to lusting after the Hooter’s girls. If a Hooters is the closest restaraunt or most convenient I’m not going to think twice about going in.
Looking isn’t the problem, lusting is. Is the young unmarried man that sees a pretty woman and thinks “I’d like to get to know her better” sinning? I don’t think so . . . it’s if he jumps into a fantasy of inappropriate sex that he goes wrong.
Look but don’t land . . . and . . . enjoy the food.
They must buy their clothing in bulk.
LOL!
“When I see FReepers stating that Hooters is a fine family place”
It’s the religiosity angle. When a politician invokes religion or religionish themes, like Obama and Huckabee, supporters get blinded. They lose all sense. Apologize and rationalize anything.
What I want to know is...
Why was wifey IN A LAS VEGAS CASINO RESORT while hubby was in THE CAYMAN ISLANDS a notorious money laundering location? Was money transfered???
Wow, Nancy Reagan/Barbara Bush/Laura Bush she ain’t...

“Hooters has good wings...”
It’s a softball. Will no one hit it?
Hooters has really good prices for being on the corner of Tropicana/Strip; it’s right across the street from the MGM.
That there is a Nerd Herd.
Non story
I don’t mind if she took in a prize fight and stayed at a Hooters hotel.
But, she needs to be smacked for buying her husband and sons those shirts! Yee-Gawds!
Man, you're cheap! 8-)
As a Christian I wouldn’t go to a strip club (the only purpose of the place is to incite “lust in your heart” while you pay for it) . . . but I wouldn’t think twice about taking my wife and daughter to a Hooters if it were convenient. I don’t know what my wife would say, however, with children.
