I bet they would have rented an apartment to a politician.

Score one for the good guys, or should I say the bad gals?

Nebraska's equal opportunity commission - FOXNews.com - Foxlife - Out There - Landlord Sued for Rejecting Stripper - has ruled in favor of the complainant in this case: "The complaint said a Richdale representative called Greenwood on April 13 to reject the application she filed the day before. The representative recited to her a company policy that 'they refuse to rent to anyone employed as a dancer at a gentlemen's club.'"

I am not a big fan of open housing bureaucracies in principle since they are an infringement on the rights of property owners; but, if you have to have them, they made the right call here.

What's this got to do with politicians? Well, if a politician - councilman, supervisor, congressman, or senator - wanted to rent one of their apartments, they likely would have just verified his income and credit rating, they wouldn't reject him out of hand.

What's the difference between a topless gentleman's club dancer and a politician? From what the big kids tell me about those places, the dancers take off their clothes and do a lot of foreplay for fully-clothed willing customers who only imagine they are getting any. The politician keeps his clothes on, eschews foreplay, sticks his hand in your pocket and steals the shirt off your back without so much as "by your leave." You tell me, which one - the dancer or the politician - is doing it to someone?
