GOP councilman accused of accepting strip club payoff

Let's play another boring game of "guess the party affiliation" - since press reports won't mention the affiliation of the politico in this story.

Aw hell, let's just cut right to it: He's a Republican.

Lincoln Plowman is a Republican city-county councilman in Indianapolis. Well, he was. Now he's been forced to resign in disgrace.

Plowman is being accused of accepting a $5,000 payment - a bribe, if you will - from an FBI agent posing as a strip club developer. This scandal forced Plowman to resign from council last week and retire from his job as a police major.

What's really amusing is the wingnut hypocrisy: They try controlling private conduct by shutting down strip clubs, yet they're so greedy that they can't live without accepting bribes from agents posing as strip club developers.

It's just like how the TV networks run sitcoms full of trite penis jokes yet support right-wing candidates who back censoring "indecent" content.
