When he wasn't choking his mistress and getting charged with felony assault, Rod Jetton was doing some legislatin' when he was the Speaker of the Missouri House of Representatives. An example of that is when he sent a bill regulating strip clubs to an unfriendly committee, thereby killing it.
(Just another of Jetton's attempts to safeguard the moral fiber of the state of Missouri, like three years ago when he fought to ban what he called "deviant sexual intercourse". The "deviant sexual intercourse" was not beating the shit out of your partner--after all Jetton was doing THAT, so it COULDN'T be 'deviant.' No,"deviant sexual intercourse" was gay sex.)
But now the FBI is taking a look at Mr. Family Values' behavior regarding the strip club bill. The Kansas City Star reported that a few days before Jetton was to assign the bill to committee, a group of strip club owners gave $35,000 to the Committee for Honest Campaigns, an organization with ties to a top Jetton aide.
With thanks to TPM Muckraker and the Kansas City Star
