How good are things in this guy’s district if this is the number one issue on his plate?
According to The Washington Post, a Louisiana state representative who recently proposed both an age and weight limit for strippers in his state said he was just joking, but some of his coworkers weren’t laughing about it as much as we did.
While discussing a bill that would require tit bar dancers in Louisiana to be at least 21 years old, Rep. Kenny Harvard made an amendment that would also ban women from hopping on the pole if they’re over the age of 28 or tipping the scales at more than 160 pounds.
Many of Harvard’s colleagues on the House floor ate it up and laughed at his proposal, but Rep. Nancy Landry didn’t care for it and asked Harvard if he thought that meant such women were “unfit to be dancers.”
“No ma’am,” Harvard replied. “I’m just worried about their health, and I wouldn’t want them to hurt one another.”
Rep. Julie Stokes said she had “never been more repulsed” than she was talking over the bill, and other lawmakers left gifts on their way out of the session to show how “serious” they were about the discussion.
Those gifts? You guessed it: Dollar bills.
