Naked in the Streets

Nudity_1

Blogosphere is abuzz about Bilirakis' mailer that labels Busansky as an advocate of "public nudity on the streets." After wonkette, a DC political gossip site,  named it  "campaign mailer of the day" on Sunday, others have taken note. (ie. here, here, here) Charging that "Phyllis Busansky will bankrupt our values" the mailer also says that she supports strip clubs (voted to approve a late night adult club near a daycare in 1989 & 1990 & gets backing from "radical pro-choice special interests" (emily's list)

Well im ok with naked women in the streets if they are under 35 and under a size 10.

;)

nice color choice

This post is already on here earlier.

Delete this thread please.

Why would Gus, Mr. Adonis himself, want people to cover up? Just think about it, both Gus and Phyllis running around nake……….. uppppbnmcwskjwdchkdhbsd`…

Sorry, I threw-up.

Phyllis has my vote

From the wonkette link:

Turns out Busansky was on a county commission in 1991 and was one of two members who didn’t vote for a legal ban on thong bikinis — including on people’s private property. In other words, PHYLLIS BUSANSKY WILL BANKRUPT OUR VALUES.

Republican slime machine is evidently in high gear and working overtime. I smell desperation!

If Phyllis advocates public nudity, I’m in… she’s got my vote.

Love and a dollar bill,
Joe Redner.

So what's wring with thong bikini's?

Didn't God make women's bodies beautiful so we would go forth and procreate?

What, you wingnuts only take the parts of the Bible you like and discount the rest? You are going to be in for a very rude awakening outside the pearly gates?

Yabba Dabba Dooooooooooo!!!!

Gus, your rube, you went over the top on this one.

You should have remained out of sight through Tuesday at 8p.

But no, you had to send out that silly mailer.

Gus, you are yet another Cafeteria Christian.

Gene, Gene, Gene… You can’t bring Doritos’s, Bud Lite, and your copies of Barley Legal beyond the pearly gates either.

If you think this is as stupid as I do, help Phyllis out in Pasco, come to the Democratic headquarters and volunteer to help her, don't just sit there typing comments onto a blog. Make a difference.

The HQ is at 4927 SR 54. Call 813-447-7184 to help.

One thing for sure, the naked model who has been strategically "redacted" is no relation to the short and fat Bilirakis family. They look like circus performers or munchkins extras for the Wizard of Oz.

SINCE THE PINELLAS REPUBS ARE ABOUT TO LOSE 3 LEGISLATIVE SEATS, DO YOU THINK IT WAS SO WISE OF THEIR CHARIMAN DOWN THERE TO FOCUS ONLY ON CRIST AND BILIRAKIS?

HIS SLOGAN WAS "CHARLIE, GUS"

WHAT ABOUT BERFIELD, CAPELLI, REEDER?

WHAT NOW TONY?

Let's get a mailer with Gus naked.

Ewwwwwwww. Never mind.

Your theory overall is true, but i wouldnt say that all women are beautiful. Maybe 15%.

I personally dont understand what is wrong with thong bikinis, as long as they are not hidden in the folds of flab. :)

I guess i would agree with the first poster on this thread. 35 and younger, and skinny, fine with me...

Yabba dabba doo?

You Phyl-heads had your fun. Now it is time to go home and look at interior paint swatches.

Welcome to loser-ville, population YOU.

Gus is Greek. Remember the Greek Olympics was competed in the nude. Obivously the Bilirakis family did not compete. They probably handed out towels.

4:19

Are you asleep? Everytime Gus opens his mouth or does something he loses 5 points. This flyer is good for at least another five.

I would love to see him speak the text in his impeded voice. That would be worth at least 10 points.

Welcome to loser-ville, population YOU.

It's worth a second.

At a dinner this summer (June?) Tony D (Pinellas Chair) had a belly dancer in a thong perform for the GOP high rollers in the party. Many of the attendees danced with her.

It was a party club event at a Greek Restaurant,

It was on a Sunday I believe. Drinks were flowing. It was attended by folks who had given a significant amount of money to the Pinellas GOP. Candidates were there and Tony D. produced a belly dancer who struted her body (barely clothed) for 30 minutes, pulling men from the crowd to dance with her. THIS IS TRUE!

The restaurant was closed to all but the Pinellas GOP. The dancer was hired by Tony to perform for the crowd.

"Poll" Dancer
4:17

You're a blonde, aren't you.

Is that Poll Dancer on the mailer?

4:45 that is aboslutely true. an rpof rep was there too. it was a great evening. seems that gus and his thongs and tony d. and his belly dancers are at odds.

wouldn't it be funny if either the pinellas GOP or the RPOF paid for the flyer after the belly dancing on Sunday.

4:55
No, thats a pole dancer on the mailer.
4:49 is ither blond or performs around voting precints

A girl's gotta do something to earn a buck!

Is the girl on the mailer Greek?

Wow, while Pinellas Republicans were partying at the Greek Cashbah, little Gus Flintstone is sending out mailers protesting the very same behavior. I will stick with Tony D. Let's PARTY!!!!!

Yeesh. Well, you can say this for them... The Bilirakis campaign stands out for sucking.

First, there's the patented John Kerry/Jerry Ford play of finishing with a pile of cash in the bank. Always a sure sign of a winner.

Second, while every House race in the country has been frozen for weeks, Team Bilirakis has managed to shed 17 points. An Arizona Cardinals in the fourth quarter kind of showing.

Third, they've managed to achieve this while outspending Busansky in every medium.

Quite a show!

I like the "Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous" assimile better. I'd like to hear what Vern has to say about this.

I am pissed off that the money I gave to the Pinellas Repubican Executive Committee went for hiring a belly-dancer. How did this happen? Who is accountable?

Oh, please! It was a traditional Greek dancer at a Greek themed event at a Greek restaurant and anyone who was there knows that.

The dancer was not Greek. Bellydancing is not a Greek tradition (maybe Pinellas Greeks), and no food was served. It was a Sunday night drinking fest for well heeled REC members. The woman had little on in terms of clothing and shook her hips like there was no tomorrow while grabbing every male within 10 feet to dance with her.

If Bilirakis is going after Busansky for thong bikinis, he should start with the low moral standing of the Pinellas REC.

Wow, that got me arroused, 9:29... does that make me as gay as Crist?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA - Gus Won!!!!!!!!!!
