This Exists? Strip Club's Sarah Palin Look Alike Contest to Benefit "Tea Party"

Chicago's Admiral Theatre has announced plans to hold a Sarah Palin “Look A Like Contest and Tea Party Benefit†on May 12, the same day the GOP's last superstar is scheduled to appear at an Illinois Republican fundraiser with ticket prices up to $25,000. The tickets to the strip show are a more reasonable $20 bucks a pop, the prize is $5000 cash, and a portion of the proceeds go to the “Tea Party Campaign.â€
While this is clearly part of a series of pop-cultural attempts to sexually humiliate Palin, you have to also wonder: who is the audience is for this kind of thing?
Lest you doubt that this is humiliation, rather than simple exploitation, the Admiral has classily invited the real Sarah Palin to judge their slate of disrobing doppelgängers. This is pretty consistent with other Palin-esque porn endeavors. Hustler's Nailin' Palin series, for example, features “fantasies†of Palin with Barack Obama and David Letterman, certainly not designed to appeal to her supporters.
On the other hand, much of the Palin fantasy art that I've seen, despite being overwhelmingly designed to mock her, also seems like it would be aesthetically pleasing to the masses of Palin supporters for whom her sex appeal resonates. It seems to me these artists are missing a golden marketing opportunity by stacking their Palin pinups against her biggest fans.
Despite the anti-Palin slant, it would be interesting to poll the audience at this event to find out how many conservatives would be able to check their disgust at the door and enjoy the show. It would also be revealing to interview those attendees with hostility toward Palin. I don't understand the psychology of either group.
Congressman and Republican Senate candidate Mark Kirk will be notably absent at that fundraiser that Palin is scheduled to attend, but he won't be at the Ambassador, either. He'll be staying in DC for House votes. Kirk is running for Barack Obama's old seat, and asked for, but did not get, an endorsement from Palin.

The only people that are "obsessed" with Palin are Palin herself & her followers. She exists today only (and hasn't "faded into oblivion") because of the moves that *she* has made to make herself more famous & wealthy. "Terrified of her"?? Please...the longer she stays around in the spotlight, the better!
If you watched NBC at all in the month of April, you might've seen that every five minutes, Tina Fey was aping Palin in commercials.
I don't recall seeing Tina Fey at any GOP events.
Leftists are aggressively anti-American. Leftists are also filled with hatred and rage. No surprise that they so hate a good American...
how,
They aren't terrified, but they do anything they can (most all imagined) to tear her down. That is surly a sign of "we don't care about her".
In wasn't "every five minutes", but Fey was going to be hosting SNL during that month & she did do one parody of Palin in that show.
"I don't recall seeing Tina Fey at any GOP events"
...because she's not a GOPer at all...duuuhhhhh...

Personally, I don't hate Palin at all. We need more women to be involved in politics IMO, but it's a shame that Palin has not chosen to educate herself on the issues & is just blatantly in self-promotion mode in order to cash in on her run with McSame. There's really nothing to "fear" from her, since her quitting her AK Governorship effectively ended her career in political office.

You just finished blabbing on & on about how we were "terrified of her", moron.
Palin doesn't need to be "teared down" by anyone...she does it quite well all by herself when she usually opens her mouth...lol...
1. Very glad to learn that.
2. Agreed -- women in politics is beneficial.
3. Palin is quite educated on issues. She speaks in such common-sense, no wonkery, simple language, many confuse that as a sign of ignorance. I think she is an effective communicator, and has impacted political discourse.
She's basically the female GWB IMO...extremely cocky & confident of herself with little in actual knowledge or experience to back up anywhere near that level of bravado.
She thought that AK's proximity to Russia gave her "foreign policy experience". She believed "death panels" were a part of actual, proposed health care reform. She was unable to name a single newspaper or magazine that she read on a regular basis. She was unable to name a Supreme Court decision she disagreed with other than Roe vs. Wade. She didn't understand what the Constitutional role of the Vice President was while she was running for that very office in 2008. She believed that the "In God We Trust" had been moved to the edge of coins by the Obama administration...when the change was made by the Bush administration in 2007 and was later reversed by Congress before Obama ever took office.
